SteGriff.AzureStorageTools 1.0.1

AzureStorageTools

A small (slightly opinionated) NuGet package to help with some of the dumb stuff when it comes to working with Azure storage. It depends on WindowsAzure.Storage. If you're installing into a Function App project, you may need to manually add Newtonsoft.Json to your project, because the version referenced by WindowsAzure.Storage differs from that held by Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions.

Install-Package SteGriff.AzureStorageTools

Remember to add using SteGriff.AzureStorageTools to the top of your code files where you use it.

Contents

AzureStorageProvider

Construct an instance of this class using a ConnectionString, and it will provide you with lazy-loaded CloudStorageAccount. It's used by all the other classes here as a connection container. For usage, see the other entries below.

AzureTableProvider

An easier way to Get and Drop Azure Tables. It hides the CloudTableClient class and the table.CreateIfNotExistsAsync(); step, so you receive a guaranteed-to-exist table without thinking too much 😃

Usage:

var storageProvider = new AzureStorageProvider("ConnectionString...");
var tableProvider = new AzureTableProvider(storageProvider);
CloudTable myTable = await tableProvider.GetTableAsync("people");
//Do stuff with the CloudTable...

//You can also drop it
await tableProvider.DropTableAsync("people");

AzureBlobProvider

An easier way to Get Block Blobs. Maybe later it will do other stuff too. It hides the CloudBlobClient and CloubBlobContainer classes, and the container.CreateIfNotExistsAsync() step.

Usage:

var storageProvider = new AzureStorageProvider("ConnectionString...");
var blobProvider = new AzureBlobProvider(storageProvider);
ICloudBlob myBlob = blobProvider.GetBlockBlob("container","filename.txt");
//Do stuff with the CloudBlob...
