implements TokenCredentialTrait<TableClientBuilder>, AzureNamedKeyCredentialTrait<TableClientBuilder>, ConnectionStringTrait<TableClientBuilder>, AzureSasCredentialTrait<TableClientBuilder>, HttpTrait<TableClientBuilder>, ConfigurationTrait<TableClientBuilder>, EndpointTrait<TableClientBuilder>

Provides a fluent builder API to help aid the configuration and instantiation of a TableClient and TableAsyncClient.

Overview

This class provides a fluent builder API to help aid the configuration and instantiation of TableClient and TableAsyncClient objects. After properly authenticating the client, call buildClient() or buildAsyncClient(), respectively, to construct an instance of the desired client.

Getting Started

The minimal configuration options required by TableClientBuilder to build a TableClient or TableAsyncClient are a tableName and endpoint and a form of authentication, which can be set via: connectionString(String connectionString), credential(AzureNamedKeyCredential credential), credential(TokenCredential credential), credential(AzureSasCredential credential), or sasToken(String sasToken)

To build an instance of TableClient or TableAsyncClient call buildClient() or buildAsyncClient(), respectively.

The following example shows how to build a TableClient instance.

TableClient tableClient = new TableClientBuilder()
     .connectionString("connectionString")
     .tableName("tableName")
     .buildClient();

The following example shows how to build a TableAsyncClient instance.

TableAsyncClient tableClient = new TableClientBuilder()
     .connectionString("connectionString")
     .tableName("tableName")
     .buildAsyncClient();

Authenticating via Connection String

To use a connection string to authorize the client, call the builder's connectionString(String connectionString) method with your connection string. When authenticating via a connection string, providing an endpoint is not required.

TableClient tableClient = new TableClientBuilder()
     .connectionString("connectionString")
     .tableName("tableName")
     .buildClient();

Authentication via Shared Key

To use shared key authentication, create an instance of AzureNamedKeyCredential and pass it to the builder's credential(AzureNamedKeyCredential credential) method. Pass the account URL to the builder's endpoint(String endpoint) method.

TableClient tableClient = new TableClientBuilder()
     .credential(new AzureNamedKeyCredential("name", "key"))
     .tableName("tableName")
     .endpoint("endpoint")
     .buildClient();

Authentication via Shared Access Signature (SAS)

when authorizing a client utilizing a Shared Access Signature (SAS), you have the option of using AzureSasCredential or the SAS token directly. To use an AzureSasCredential, pass it to the builder's credential(AzureSasCredential credential) method. When authenticating with a SAS token, pass it to the builder's sasToken(String sasToken) method. Pass the account URL to the builder's endpoint(String endpoint) method.

Using AzureSasCredential:

TableClient tableClient = new TableClientBuilder()
     .credential(new AzureSasCredential("sasToken"))
     .endpoint("endpoint")
     .tableName("tableName")
     .buildClient();

Using SAS token:

TableClient tableClient = new TableClientBuilder()
     .sasToken("sasToken")
     .endpoint("endpoint")
     .tableName("tableName")
     .buildClient();

Authentication via Token Credential

To use token credential authentication, create an instance of a credential class that implements TokenCredential and pass it to the builder's credential(TokenCredential credential) method. Pass the account URL to the builder's endpoint(String endpoint) method.

TableClient tableClient = new TableClientBuilder()
     .endpoint("endpoint")
     .credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
     .tableName("tableName")
     .buildClient();

Constructor Details

TableClientBuilder

public TableClientBuilder()

Creates a builder instance that is able to configure and construct TableClient and TableAsyncClient objects.

Method Details

addPolicy

public TableClientBuilder addPolicy(HttpPipelinePolicy pipelinePolicy)

Adds a HttpPipelinePolicy to apply on each request sent.

Note: It is important to understand the precedence order of the HttpTrait APIs. In particular, if a HttpPipeline is specified, this takes precedence over all other APIs in the trait, and they will be ignored. If no HttpPipeline is specified, a HTTP pipeline will be constructed internally based on the settings provided to this trait. Additionally, there may be other APIs in types that implement this trait that are also ignored if an HttpPipeline is specified, so please be sure to refer to the documentation of types that implement this trait to understand the full set of implications.

Parameters:

pipelinePolicy - A HttpPipelinePolicy.

Returns:

The updated TableClientBuilder.

buildAsyncClient

public TableAsyncClient buildAsyncClient()

Creates a TableAsyncClient based on options set in the builder.

Returns:

A TableAsyncClient created from the configurations in this builder.

buildClient

public TableClient buildClient()

Creates a TableClient based on options set in the builder.

Returns:

A TableClient created from the configurations in this builder.

clientOptions

public TableClientBuilder clientOptions(ClientOptions clientOptions)

Allows for setting common properties such as application ID, headers, proxy configuration, etc. Note that it is recommended that this method be called with an instance of the HttpClientOptions class (a subclass of the ClientOptions base class). The HttpClientOptions subclass provides more configuration options suitable for HTTP clients, which is applicable for any class that implements this HttpTrait interface.

Note: It is important to understand the precedence order of the HttpTrait APIs. In particular, if a HttpPipeline is specified, this takes precedence over all other APIs in the trait, and they will be ignored. If no HttpPipeline is specified, a HTTP pipeline will be constructed internally based on the settings provided to this trait. Additionally, there may be other APIs in types that implement this trait that are also ignored if an HttpPipeline is specified, so please be sure to refer to the documentation of types that implement this trait to understand the full set of implications.

Returns:

The updated TableClientBuilder.

enableTenantDiscovery

public TableClientBuilder enableTenantDiscovery()

Enable tenant discovery when authenticating with the Table Service. This functionality is disabled by default and only available for Storage endpoints using service version V2020_12_06.

Enable this if there is a chance for your application and the Storage account it communicates with to reside in different tenants. If this is enabled, clients created using this builder will make an unauthorized initial service request that will be met with a 401 response containing an authentication challenge, which will be subsequently used to retrieve an access token to authorize all further requests with.

Note: It is important to understand the precedence order of the HttpTrait APIs. In particular, if a HttpPipeline is specified, this takes precedence over all other APIs in the trait, and they will be ignored. If no HttpPipeline is specified, a HTTP pipeline will be constructed internally based on the settings provided to this trait.
