Create a New Table in an Azure Storage Account

See more Azure Table Service Examples

Creates a new table using the Azure Table Service REST API. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  final rest = CkRest();

  // Implements the following CURL command:

  // curl -X POST \
  //   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  //   -H "Accept: application/json;odata=fullmetadata" \
  //   -H "Prefer: return-content" \
  //   -d '{   
  //     "TableName":"mytable"  
  // }' https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/Tables

  // Use the following online tool to generate REST code from a CURL command
  // Convert a cURL Command to REST Source Code

  // IMPORTANT: Make sure to change "myaccount" to your actual Azure Storage Account name.
  // URL: https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/Tables
  final bTls = true;
  final port = 443;
  final bAutoReconnect = true;
  try {
    rest.connect('myaccount.table.core.windows.net', port, bTls, bAutoReconnect);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print('ConnectFailReason: ${rest.connectFailReason}');
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
  final azAuth = CkAuthAzureStorage();
  azAuth.accessKey = 'AZURE_ACCESS_KEY';
  // The account name used here should match the 1st part of the domain passed in the call to Connect (above).
  azAuth.account = 'myaccount';
  azAuth.scheme = 'SharedKey';
  azAuth.service = 'Table';

  // This causes the "x-ms-version: 2019-07-07" header to be automatically added.
  azAuth.xMsVersion = '2019-07-07';
  rest.setAuthAzureStorage(azAuth);

  // Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
  // headers: Content-Length, x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
  // are automatically set by Chilkat.

  // Note: The above code does not need to be repeatedly called for each REST request.
  // The rest object can be setup once, and then many requests can be sent.  Chilkat will automatically
  // reconnect within a FullRequest* method as needed.  It is only the very first connection that is explicitly
  // made via the Connect method.

  // Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
  // Generate Code to Create JSON

  // The following JSON is sent in the request body.

  // {
  //   "TableName": "mytable"
  // }
