This project provides a SDK in JavaScript that makes it easy to consume Microsoft Azure Storage services.
Please note that this version of the SDK is a compete overhaul of the current Azure Storage SDK for Node.js and JavaScript in Browsers, and is based on the new Storage SDK architecture.
- Blob Storage
- Get/Set Blob Service Properties
- Create/List/Delete Containers
- Create/Read/List/Update/Delete Block Blobs
- Create/Read/List/Update/Delete Page Blobs
- Create/Read/List/Update/Delete Append Blobs
- Features new
- Asynchronous I/O for all operations using the async methods
- HttpPipeline which enables a high degree of per-request configurability
- 1-to-1 correlation with the Storage REST API for clarity and simplicity
This SDK is compatible with Node.js and browsers, and validated against LTS Node.js versions (>=6.5) and latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Edge.
You need polyfills to make this library work with IE11. The easiest way is to use @babel/polyfill, or polyfill service. Or you can load separate polyfills for missed ES feature(s). This library depends on following ES6 features which need external polyfills loaded.
Promise
String.prototype.startsWith
String.prototype.endsWith
String.prototype.repeat
String.prototype.includes
There are differences between Node.js and browsers runtime. When getting start with this SDK, pay attention to APIs or classes marked with "ONLY AVAILABLE IN NODE.JS RUNTIME" or "ONLY AVAILABLE IN BROWSERS".
- Shared Key Authorization based on account name and account key
SharedKeyCredential
- Shared Access Signature(SAS) generation
generateAccountSASQueryParameters()
generateBlobSASQueryParameters()
- Parallel uploading and downloading
uploadFileToBlockBlob()
uploadStreamToBlockBlob()
downloadBlobToBuffer()
- Parallel uploading and downloading
uploadBrowserDataToBlockBlob()
The preferred way to install the Azure Storage SDK for JavaScript is to use the npm package manager. Simply type the following into a terminal window:
npm install @azure/storage-blob
In your TypeScript or JavaScript file, import via following:
import * as Azure from "@azure/storage-blob";
Or
const Azure = require("@azure/storage-blob");
To use the SDK with JS bundle in the browsers, simply add a script tag to your HTML pages pointing to the downloaded JS bundle file(s):
<script src="https://mydomain/azure-storage.blob.min.js"></script>
The JS bundled file is compatible with UMD standard, if no module system found, following global variable(s) will be exported:
azblob
Download latest released JS bundles from links in the GitHub release page. Or from following links directly:
You need to set up Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) rules for your storage account if you need to develop for browsers. Go to Azure portal and Azure Storage Explorer, find your storage account, create new CORS rules for blob/queue/file/table service(s).
For example, you can create following CORS settings for debugging. But please customize the settings carefully according to your requirements in production environment.
- Allowed origins: *
- Allowed verbs: DELETE,GET,HEAD,MERGE,POST,OPTIONS,PUT
- Allowed headers: *
- Exposed headers: *
- Maximum age (seconds): 86400
The Azure Storage SDK for JavaScript provides low-level and high-level APIs.
-
ServiceURL, ContainerURL and BlobURL objects provide the low-level API functionality and map one-to-one to the Azure Storage Blob REST APIs.
-
The high-level APIs provide convenience abstractions such as uploading a large stream to a block blob (using multiple PutBlock requests).

Aborter,
BlobURL,
BlockBlobURL,

} = require("@azure/storage-blob");

// Use SharedKeyCredential with storage account and account key
const sharedKeyCredential = new SharedKeyCredential(account, accountKey);
// Use TokenCredential with OAuth token
const tokenCredential = new TokenCredential("token");

// Use AnonymousCredential when url already includes a SAS signature
const anonymousCredential = new AnonymousCredential();
// Use sharedKeyCredential, tokenCredential or tokenCredential to create a pipeline
const pipeline = StorageURL.newPipeline(sharedKeyCredential);
// List containers
const serviceURL = new ServiceURL(

const downloadBlockBlobResponse = await blobURL.download(Aborter.none, 0);
console.log(
"Downloaded blob content",
downloadBlockBlobResponse.readableStreamBody.read(content.length).toString()
);
// Delete container
await containerURL.delete(Aborter.none);
console.log("deleted container");
}
// An async method returns a Promise object, which is compatible with then().catch() coding style.
main()
.then(() => {
console.log("Successfully executed sample.");
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err.message);
});
