    ✅ Table

In this quickstart, you deploy a basic Azure Cosmos DB for Table application using the Azure SDK for Go. Azure Cosmos DB for Table is a schemaless data store allowing applications to store structured table data in the cloud. You learn how to create tables, rows, and perform basic tasks within your Azure Cosmos DB resource using the Azure SDK for Go.

Library source code | Package (Go) | Azure Developer CLI

Prerequisites

  • Azure Developer CLI
  • Docker Desktop
  • Go 1.21 or newer

If you don't have an Azure account, create a free account before you begin.

Initialize the project

Use the Azure Developer CLI (azd) to create an Azure Cosmos DB for Table account and deploy a containerized sample application. The sample application uses the client library to manage, create, read, and query sample data.

  1. Open a terminal in an empty directory.

  2. If you're not already authenticated, authenticate to the Azure Developer CLI using azd auth login. Follow the steps specified by the tool to authenticate to the CLI using your preferred Azure credentials.

    azd auth login

  3. Use azd init to initialize the project.

    azd init --template cosmos-db-table-go-quickstart

  4. During initialization, configure a unique environment name.

  5. Deploy the Azure Cosmos DB account using azd up. The Bicep templates also deploy a sample web application.

    azd up

  6. During the provisioning process, select your subscription, desired location, and target resource group. Wait for the provisioning process to complete. The process can take approximately five minutes.

  7. Once the provisioning of your Azure resources is done, a URL to the running web application is included in the output.

    Deploying services (azd deploy)

  (✓) Done: Deploying service web
- Endpoint: <https://[container-app-sub-domain].azurecontainerapps.io>

SUCCESS: Your application was provisioned and deployed to Azure in 5 minutes 0 seconds.

  8. Use the URL in the console to navigate to your web application in the browser. Observe the output of the running app.

Install the client library

The client library is available through Go, as the aztables package.

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to the /src folder.

    cd ./src

  2. If not already installed, install the aztables package using go install.

    go install github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/data/aztables

  3. Open and review the src/go.mod file to validate that the github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/data/aztables entry exists.

Object model

Name Description
ServiceClient This type is the primary client type and is used to manage account-wide metadata or databases.
Client This type represents the client for a table within the account.

Code examples

The sample code in the template uses a table named cosmicworks-products. The cosmicworks-products table contains details such as name, category, quantity, price, a unique identifier, and a sale flag for each product. The container uses a unique identifier as the row key and category as a partition key.

Authenticate the client

This sample creates a new instance of the ServiceClient type.

credential, err := azidentity.NewDefaultAzureCredential(nil)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

client, err := aztables.NewServiceClient("<azure-cosmos-db-table-account-endpoint>", credential)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

Get a table

This sample creates an instance of the Client type using the NewClient function of the ServiceClient type.

table, err := client.NewClient("<azure-cosmos-db-table-name>")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

Create an entity

The easiest way to create a new entity in a table is to create an instance of type aztables.EDMEntity. Set the RowKey and PartitionKey properties using the aztables.Entity type and then set any extra properties using a string map.

entity := aztables.EDMEntity{
    Entity: aztables.Entity{
        RowKey:       "aaaaaaaa-0000-1111-2222-bbbbbbbbbbbb",
        PartitionKey: "gear-surf-surfboards",
    },
    Properties: map[string]any{
        "Name":      "Yamba Surfboard",
        "Quantity":  12,
        "Price":     850.00,
        "Clearance": false,
    },
}

Conver the entity into a byte array using json.Marshal and then create the entity in the table using UpsertEntity.

bytes, err := json.Marshal(entity)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

_, err = table.UpsertEntity(context.TODO(), bytes, nil)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

Get an entity

You can retrieve a specific entity from a table using GetEntity. You can then use json.Unmarshal to parse it using the aztables.EDMEntity type.

rowKey := "aaaaaaaa-0000-1111-2222-bbbbbbbbbbbb"
partitionKey := "gear-surf-surfboards"

response, err := table.GetEntity(context.TODO(), partitionKey, rowKey, nil)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

var entity aztables.EDMEntity
err = json.Unmarshal(response.Value, &entity)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

Query entities

After you insert an entity, you can also run a query to get all entities that match a specific filter by using NewListEntitiesPager along with a string filter.

filter := "PartitionKey eq 'gear-surf-surfboards'"

options := &aztables.ListEntitiesOptions{
    Filter: &filter,
}

pager := table.NewListEntitiesPager(options)

Parse the paginated results of the query by using the More function of the pager to determine if there are more pages, and then the NextPage function to get the next page of results.

for pager.More() {
    response, err := pager.NextPage(context.TODO())
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    for _, entityBytes := range response.Entities {
        var entity aztables.EDMEntity
        err := json.Unmarshal(entityBytes, &entity)
        if err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }
        
        writeOutput(fmt.Sprintf("Found entity:\t%s\t%s", entity.Properties["Name"], entity.RowKey))
    }
}

Clean up resources

When you no longer need the sample application or resources, remove the corresponding deployment and all resources.
