Constructors

  • Creates an instance of AppendBlobClient.

    Parameters

    • connectionString: string

      Account connection string or a SAS connection string of an Azure storage account. [ Note - Account connection string can only be used in NODE.JS runtime. ] Account connection string example - DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=myaccount;AccountKey=accountKey;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net SAS connection string example - BlobEndpoint=https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/;QueueEndpoint=https://myaccount.queue.core.windows.net/;FileEndpoint=https://myaccount.file.core.windows.net/;TableEndpoint=https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/;SharedAccessSignature=sasString

      Blob name.

    • Optionaloptions: StoragePipelineOptions

      Optional. Options to configure the HTTP pipeline.

    Returns AppendBlobClient

  • Creates an instance of AppendBlobClient. This method accepts an encoded URL or non-encoded URL pointing to an append blob. Encoded URL string will NOT be escaped twice, only special characters in URL path will be escaped. If a blob name includes ? or %, blob name must be encoded in the URL.

    Parameters

    Returns AppendBlobClient

  • Creates an instance of AppendBlobClient. This method accepts an encoded URL or non-encoded URL pointing to an append blob. Encoded URL string will NOT be escaped twice, only special characters in URL path will be escaped. If a blob name includes ? or %, blob name must be encoded in the URL.

    Parameters

    Returns AppendBlobClient

Properties

accountName: string
credential: any

Such as AnonymousCredential, StorageSharedKeyCredential or any credential from the @azure/identity package to authenticate requests to the service. You can also provide an object that implements the TokenCredential interface. If not specified, AnonymousCredential is used.

isHttps: boolean
storageClientContext: StorageClient

StorageClient is a reference to protocol layer operations entry, which is generated by AutoRest generator.

url: string

Encoded URL string value.

Accessors

  • get containerName(): string
  • The name of the storage container the blob is associated with.

    Returns string

  • get name(): string
  • The name of the blob.

    Returns string

Methods

  • Commits a new block of data to the end of the existing append blob.

    Parameters

    • body: HttpRequestBody

      Data to be appended.

    • contentLength: number

      Length of the body in bytes.

    • options: AppendBlobAppendBlockOptions = {}

      Options to the Append Block operation.

      Example usage:

      import { BlobServiceClient } from "@azure/storage-blob";
      import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";

      const account = "<account>";
      const blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClient(
      `https://${account}.blob.core.windows.net`,
      new DefaultAzureCredential(),
      );

      const containerName = "<container name>";
      const blobName = "<blob name>";
      const containerClient = blobServiceClient.getContainerClient(containerName);

      const content = "Hello World!";

      // Create a new append blob and append data to the blob.
      const newAppendBlobClient = containerClient.getAppendBlobClient(blobName);
      await newAppendBlobClient.create();
      await newAppendBlobClient.appendBlock(content, content.length);

      // Append data to an existing append blob.
      const existingAppendBlobClient = containerClient.getAppendBlobClient(blobName);
      await existingAppendBlobClient.appendBlock(content, content.length);

    Returns Promise<AppendBlobAppendBlockResponse>

  • Asynchronously copies a blob to a destination within the storage account. This method returns a long running operation poller that allows you to wait indefinitely until the copy is completed. You can also cancel a copy before it is completed by calling cancelOperation on the poller. Note that the onProgress callback will not be invoked if the operation completes in the first request, and attempting to cancel a completed copy will result in an error being thrown.

    In version 2012-02-12 and later, the source for a Copy Blob operation can be a committed blob in any Azure storage account. Beginning with version 2015-02-21, the source for a Copy Blob operation can be an Azure file in any Azure storage account. Only storage accounts created on or after June 7th, 2012 allow the Copy Blob operation to copy from another storage account.

    Parameters

    • copySource: string

      url to the source Azure Blob/File.

    • options: BlobBeginCopyFromURLOptions = {}

      Optional options to the Blob Start Copy From URL operation.

    Returns Promise<PollerLikeWithCancellation<PollOperationState<BlobBeginCopyFromURLResponse>, BlobBeginCopyFromURLResponse>>

    const blobName = "<blob name>";
    const containerClient = blobServiceClient.getContainerClient(containerName);
    const blobClient = containerClient.getBlobClient(blobName);

    // Example using automatic polling
    const automaticCopyPoller = await blobClient.beginCopyFromURL("url");
    const automaticResult = await automaticCopyPoller.pollUntilDone();

    // Example using manual polling
    const manualCopyPoller = await blobClient.beginCopyFromURL("url");
    while (!manualCopyPoller.isDone()) {
    await manualCopyPoller.poll();
    }

    const progressUpdatesCopyPoller = await blobClient.beginCopyFromURL("url", {
    onProgress(state) {
    console.log(`Progress: ${state.copyProgress}`);
    },
    });
    const progressUpdatesResult = await progressUpdatesCopyPoller.pollUntilDone();

    // Example using a changing polling interval (default 15 seconds)
    const pollingIntervalCopyPoller = await blobClient.beginCopyFromURL("url", {
    intervalInMs: 1000, // poll blob every 1 second for copy progress
    });
    const pollingIntervalResult = await pollingIntervalCopyPoller.pollUntilDone();

    // Example using copy cancellation:
    const cancelCopyPoller = await blobClient.beginCopyFromURL("url");
    // cancel operation after starting it.
    try {
    await cancelCopyPoller.cancelOperation();
    // calls to get the result now throw PollerCancelledError
    cancelCopyPoller.getResult();
    } catch (err: any) {
    if (err.name === "PollerCancelledError") {
    console.log("The copy was cancelled.");
    }
    }
