Azure Blob Storage file provider (IFileProvider) for ASP.NET Core.
Install-Package Strathweb.AspNetCore.AzureBlobFileProvider
Configure access to your Blob Storage via storage account connection string or SAS token.
Below is the usage example for both flows - where access to files from Blob Storage is enabled on the /files route (including directory browsing in the browser).
Connection string
public class Startup
{
public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
{
Configuration = configuration;
}
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
var blobOptions = new AzureBlobOptions
{
ConnectionString = "{my connection string}",
DocumentContainer = "{blob container name}"
}
var azureBlobFileProvider = new AzureBlobFileProvider(blobOptions);
services.AddSingleton(azureBlobFileProvider);
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
var blobFileProvider = app.ApplicationServices.GetRequiredService<AzureBlobFileProvider>();
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions()
{
FileProvider = blobFileProvider,
RequestPath = "/files"
});
app.UseDirectoryBrowser(new DirectoryBrowserOptions
{
FileProvider = blobFileProvider,
RequestPath = "/files"
});
}
}Token (need to provide the URL of the storage separately)
public class Startup
{
public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
{
Configuration = configuration;
}
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
var blobOptions = new AzureBlobOptions
{
BaseUri = "{base URL of the storage account}",
Token = "{SAS token}",
DocumentContainer = "{blob container name}"
}
var azureBlobFileProvider = new AzureBlobFileProvider(blobOptions);
services.AddSingleton(azureBlobFileProvider);
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
var blobFileProvider = app.ApplicationServices.GetRequiredService<AzureBlobFileProvider>();
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions()
{
FileProvider = blobFileProvider,
RequestPath = "/files"
});
app.UseDirectoryBrowser(new DirectoryBrowserOptions
{
FileProvider = blobFileProvider,
RequestPath = "/files"
});
}
}In case both ConnectionString and Token are present, connection string is given the preference.
The watch functionality of the file provider is currently not supported.
