Methods

abortCopyFromURL

beginCopyFromURL

  • 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.

    Example using automatic polling:

    const copyPoller = await blobClient.beginCopyFromURL('url');
const result = await copyPoller.pollUntilDone();

    Example using manual polling:

    const copyPoller = await blobClient.beginCopyFromURL('url');
while (!poller.isDone()) {
   await poller.poll();
}
const result = copyPoller.getResult();

    Example using progress updates:

    const copyPoller = await blobClient.beginCopyFromURL('url', {
  onProgress(state) {
    console.log(`Progress: ${state.copyProgress}`);
  }
});
const result = await copyPoller.pollUntilDone();

    Example using a changing polling interval (default 15 seconds):

    const copyPoller = await blobClient.beginCopyFromURL('url', {
  intervalInMs: 1000 // poll blob every 1 second for copy progress
});
const result = await copyPoller.pollUntilDone();

    Example using copy cancellation:

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

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<PollerLike<PollOperationState<BlobBeginCopyFromURLResponse>, BlobBeginCopyFromURLResponse>>

commitBlockList

createSnapshot

delete

download

  • download(offset?: number, count?: undefined | number, options?: BlobDownloadOptions): Promise<BlobDownloadResponseModel>

  • Reads or downloads a blob from the system, including its metadata and properties. You can also call Get Blob to read a snapshot.

    • In Node.js, data returns in a Readable stream readableStreamBody
    • In browsers, data returns in a promise blobBody

upload

  • Creates a new block blob, or updates the content of an existing block blob. Updating an existing block blob overwrites any existing metadata on the blob. Partial updates are not supported; the content of the existing blob is overwritten with the new content. To perform a partial update of a block blob's, use stageBlock and commitBlockList.

    This is a non-parallel uploading method, please use uploadFile, uploadStream or uploadBrowserData for better performance with concurrency uploading.

    see

    https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/put-blob

    memberof

    BlockBlobClient

    Example usage:

    const content = "Hello world!";
const uploadBlobResponse = await blockBlobClient.upload(content, content.length);

    Parameters

    • body: HttpRequestBody

      Blob, string, ArrayBuffer, ArrayBufferView or a function which returns a new Readable stream whose offset is from data source beginning.

    • contentLength: number

      Length of body in bytes. Use Buffer.byteLength() to calculate body length for a string including non non-Base64/Hex-encoded characters.

    • Default value options: BlockBlobUploadOptions = {}

    Returns Promise<BlockBlobUploadResponse>

    Response data for the Block Blob Upload operation.

uploadBrowserData

  • ONLY AVAILABLE IN BROWSERS.

    Uploads a browser Blob/File/ArrayBuffer/ArrayBufferView object to block blob.

    When buffer length <= 256MB, this method will use 1 upload call to finish the upload. Otherwise, this method will call stageBlock to upload blocks, and finally call commitBlockList to commit the block list.

    export
    memberof

    BlockBlobClient

    Parameters

    • browserData: Blob | ArrayBuffer | ArrayBufferView

      Blob, File, ArrayBuffer or ArrayBufferView

    Returns Promise<BlobUploadCommonResponse>

    Response data for the Blob Upload operation.

uploadFile

  • ONLY AVAILABLE IN NODE.JS RUNTIME.

    Uploads a local file in blocks to a block blob.

    When file size <= 256MB, this method will use 1 upload call to finish the upload. Otherwise, this method will call stageBlock to upload blocks, and finally call commitBlockList to commit the block list.

    memberof

    BlockBlobClient

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<BlobUploadCommonResponse>

    Response data for the Blob Upload operation.

uploadStream

  • ONLY AVAILABLE IN NODE.JS RUNTIME.
