Microsoft Azure expose its technologies via REST API. These APIs are easily consumable from any language (good) but are weakly typed. With this library and its related (as soon as I figure out how to make it) crate you can exploit the power of Microsoft Azure from Rust in a idiomatic way.
NOTE: This repository is under heavy ongoing development and is likely to break over time. I currently do not have any releases yet.
Although I am a Microsoft employee, this is not a Microsoft endorsed project. It's simply a pet project of mine: I love Rust (who doesn't? :smirk:) and Microsoft Azure technologies so I thought to close the gap between them. It's also a good project for learning Rust.
You can find examples in the test section (not yet existent as far as Azure is concerned) and in the main.rs file. Here is a sample however:
```rust extern crate azuresdkfor_rust; extern crate chrono;
extern crate mime;
use azuresdkforrust::azure::core::lease::{LeaseState, LeaseStatus}; use azuresdkforrust::azure::storage::client::Client; use azuresdkforrust::azure::storage::blob::{Blob, BlobType, PUTOPTIONSDEFAULT}; use azuresdkforrust::azure::storage::container::{Container, PublicAccess, LISTCONTAINEROPTIONS_DEFAULT};
use chrono::UTC;
use mime::Mime;
fn main() { let azurestorageaccount = &"azurestorageaccount"; let azurestoragekey= &"azurestoragekey";
// create the client struct. The third argument, if false, forces to use // http instead of https. It's useful if you have trouble compiling // hyper with openSSL activated. let client = Client::new(azurestorageaccount, azurestoragekey, false);
// This call will list your containers. let containers = Container::list(&client, &LISTCONTAINEROPTIONS_DEFAULT).unwrap(); println!("{:?}", containers);
let container_name = "rust"; // This call will create a new Azure Container called "wow" // with public blob access (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dd179468.aspx) // if it doesn't exist already.
let cont = containers.iter().find(|x| x.name == containername); if let None = cont { Container::create(&client, containername, PublicAccess::Blob).unwrap(); }
// this code will upload a file to the container just created. { use std::fs::metadata; use std::fs::File;
let file_name: &'static str = "C:\\temp\\from_rust.txt";
let container_name: &'static str = "wow";
let metadata = metadata(file_name).unwrap();
let mut file = File::open(file_name).unwrap();
let new_blob = Blob {
name: "from_rust.txt".to_owned(),
container_name: container_name.to_owned(),
snapshot_time: None,
last_modified: UTC::now(),
etag: "".to_owned(),
content_length: metadata.len(),
content_type: "application/octet-stream".parse::<Mime>().unwrap(),
content_encoding: None,
content_language: None,
content_md5: None,
cache_control: None,
x_ms_blob_sequence_number: None,
blob_type: BlobType::BlockBlob,
lease_status: LeaseStatus::Unlocked,
lease_state: LeaseState::Available,
lease_duration: None,
copy_id: None,
copy_status: None,
copy_source: None,
copy_progress: None,
copy_completion: None,
copy_status_description: None,
};
new_blob.put(&client,
&PUT_OPTIONS_DEFAULT,
Some((&mut file, metadata.len())))
.unwrap();
}
// This code will look for the "todelete" container and // remove from Azure. let mut todelete = containers.itermut().find(|x| x.name == "todelete").unwrap(); todelete.delete(&client).unwrap(); println!("{:?} deleted!", todelete); } ```
Right now very few methods have been implemented but the key framework is in place (authentication, enumerations, parsing and so on). If you want to contribute please do! Also note that the project is in early stages so the APIs are bound to change at any moment. I will strive to keep things steady but since I'm new to Rust I'm sure I'll have to correct some serious mistake before too long :smile:.
If you want to contribute please do! No formality required! :wink:
