public final class BlobClientBuilder
implements TokenCredentialTrait<BlobClientBuilder>, ConnectionStringTrait<BlobClientBuilder>, AzureNamedKeyCredentialTrait<BlobClientBuilder>, AzureSasCredentialTrait<BlobClientBuilder>, HttpTrait<BlobClientBuilder>, ConfigurationTrait<BlobClientBuilder>, EndpointTrait<BlobClientBuilder>

This class provides a fluent builder API to help aid the configuration and instantiation of BlobClient and BlobAsyncClient, call buildClient() and buildAsyncClient() respectively to construct an instance of the desired client.

The following information must be provided on this builder:

  • the endpoint through .endpoint(), including the container name and blob name, in the format of https://{accountName}.blob.core.windows.net/{containerName}/{blobName}.
  • the credential through .credential() or .connectionString() if the container is not publicly accessible.

Constructor Details

BlobClientBuilder

public BlobClientBuilder()

Creates a builder instance that is able to configure and construct BlobClient and BlobAsyncClient.

Method Details

addPolicy

public BlobClientBuilder 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 BlobClientBuilder object

audience

public BlobClientBuilder audience(BlobAudience audience)

Sets the Audience to use for authentication with Azure Active Directory (AAD). The audience is not considered when using a shared key.

Parameters:

audience - BlobAudience to be used when requesting a token from Azure Active Directory (AAD).

Returns:

the updated BlobClientBuilder object

blobName

public BlobClientBuilder blobName(String blobName)

Sets the name of the blob.

blobName - Name of the blob. If the blob name contains special characters, pass in the url encoded version of the blob name.

Returns:

the updated BlobClientBuilder object

buildAsyncClient

public BlobAsyncClient buildAsyncClient()

Creates a BlobAsyncClient based on options set in the builder. BlobAsyncClients are used to perform generic blob methods such as download and BlobAsyncClient#getProperties(), use this when the blob type is unknown.

Code Samples

     .connectionString(connectionString)
     .buildAsyncClient();

Returns:

a BlobAsyncClient created from the configurations in this builder.

buildClient

public BlobClient buildClient()

Creates a BlobClient based on options set in the builder. BlobClients are used to perform generic blob methods such as download and get properties, use this when the blob type is unknown.

Code Samples

BlobClient client = new BlobClientBuilder()
     .connectionString(connectionString)
     .buildClient();

Returns:

a BlobClient created from the configurations in this builder.

clientOptions

public BlobClientBuilder 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.

Parameters:

clientOptions - A configured instance of HttpClientOptions.

Returns:

the updated BlobClientBuilder object

configuration

public BlobClientBuilder configuration(Configuration configuration)

Sets the configuration object used to retrieve environment configuration values during building of the client.

Parameters:

customerProvidedKey - CustomerProvidedKey

Returns:

the updated BlobClientBuilder object

encryptionScope

public BlobClientBuilder encryptionScope(String encryptionScope)

Sets the encryption scope that is used to encrypt blob contents on the server.

Parameters:

encryptionScope - Encryption scope containing the encryption key information.

the updated BlobClientBuilder object

endpoint

public BlobClientBuilder endpoint(String endpoint)

Sets the service endpoint, additionally parses it for information (SAS token, container name, blob name)

If the blob name contains special characters, pass in the url encoded version of the blob name.

If the endpoint is to a blob in the root container, this method will fail as it will interpret the blob name as the container name. With only one path element, it is impossible to distinguish between a container name and a blob in the root container, so it is assumed to be the container name as this is much more common. When working with blobs in the root container, it is best to set the endpoint to the account url and specify the blob name separately using the blobName(String blobName) method.

Parameters:

endpoint - URL of the service

Returns:

the updated BlobClientBuilder object
