Azure Blobstorage

This three file library aims to make the usage of the Azure SDK (Go) for Blobs a whole lot simpler and can be used as a starting point for much more complex projects. It was created for interfacing with Blobs on Azure Storageaccounts containing JSON data, though custom services can be created that are the able to store different types of documents on an Azure Storageaccount.

There are three components to this library:

• The IBlobStore abstracts the establishment of a connection to the Storageaccount.
• The IBlobRepository abstracts CRUD methods for interacting with the Blob data.
• The IBlobService for interfacing with the stored JSON, or mapping objects from to a Blob.

The blob service contained within the library is specialized to use JSON a storage format, but offerers a general purpose interface IBlobService from which other custom services can be derived, if necessary to your specific project.

Example

This example demonstrates how the provided components can be used to retrieve and store data in Azure. It first uploads an example struct to the provided Storageaccount, then downloads and prints the retrived data to the standard output.

package main

import (
    "azureblob"
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    // Define the data that is stored
    type example struct {
        Message string `json:"message"`
    }

    // Authenticate with the Azure Storageaccount
    storageAccount := azureblob.BlobStore{
        Name: "<Storageaccount name>",
        Key:  "<Storageaccount token>"}

    // Retrive or create the blob container
    exampleBlob := azureblob.GetBlobService(storageAccount, "example")

    // Create a new entry
    inputData := example{"Hello World"}
    id, err := exampleBlob.Create(inputData)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Retrieve the stored data
    outputData := example{}
    err = exampleBlob.Read(id, &outputData)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Print the retrived data
    fmt.Println(outputData) // "{Hello World}"
}
