Plinth.Storage.Azure

Storage Provider for Plinth.Storage to write blob data to Azure Blob Storage

Enables storing the blob data used by Plinth.Storage in Azure Blob Storage

This package adds these extension methods to Plinth.Storage.StorageFactory to utilize Azure Blob Storage

 storageFactory.AddAzureBlobProvider(new AzureBlobSettings()
 {
 ConnectionString = "{from-azure-portal}",
 ContainerName = "MyBlobs"
 });

 storageFactory.SetDefaultWriteProviderAsAzureBlob();

Index Strategies

By default, this will write blobs to the root of the container. There are 2 other built in options for further segmenting the blobs. To use these, set DefaultIndexStrategy in AzureBlobSettings

DefaultIndexStrategy.ByDate This will place the blobs in a sub folder with the current date as /YY/MM/DD/{blobId}

DefaultIndexStrategy.ByDateTime This will place the blobs in a sub folder with the current date and current hour as /YY/MM/DD/HH/{blobId}

Alternatively, a custom indexing strategy can be provided. For example, the below will place the blobs under a folder named the first character of the blob's guid.

 new AzureBlobSettings()
 {
 ...
 CustomIndexStrategy = blob => $"{blob.Guid!.ToString()![0]}"
 }

Backup Container

By default, blobs will be written to the bucket specified. This library supports writing a backup to other containers.

To enable, use storageFactory.AddBackupAzureBlobProvider(settings) with a complete AzureBlobSettings object. Blobs will be written to the container specified (using the primary index).

File Extensions

By default, the blobs will a file extension in blob storage which come from the blob name field. This allows for browsers to more easily download those files directly. To disable this, set DisableBlobExtensions to true in AzureBlobSettings and the blobs will not have a file extension.
