Lua Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Azure File Service: List Shares

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Sample code to list the file shares in an Azure storage account. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- Azure File Service Example: List all the file shares in a storage account.
-- See also: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/list-shares

-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local rest = chilkat.Rest.new()

-- Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
local bTls = true
local port = 443
local bAutoReconnect = true
-- In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
local success = rest:connect("chilkat.file.core.windows.net", port, bTls, bAutoReconnect)
if not success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST call.
local azAuth = chilkat.AuthAzureStorage.new()
azAuth.access_key = "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 = "chilkat"
azAuth.scheme = "SharedKey"
azAuth.service = "File"
-- This causes the "x-ms-version: 2021-08-06" header to be automatically added.
azAuth.xms_version = "2021-08-06"
success = rest:set_auth_azure_storage(azAuth)

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

-- Send the GET request to list the shares.
local responseStr = rest:full_request_no_body("GET", "/?comp=list")
if not rest.last_method_success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- When successful, the Azure Storage service will respond with a 200 response status code,
-- with an XML response body.

if rest.response_status_code ~= 200 then
    -- Examine the request/response to see what happened.
    print("response status code = " .. rest.response_status_code)
    print("response status text = " .. rest.response_status_text)
    print("response header: " .. rest.response_header)
    print("response body (if any): " .. responseStr)
    print("---")
    print("LastRequestStartLine: " .. rest.last_request_start_line)
    print("LastRequestHeader: " .. rest.last_request_header)
    return
end

-- Load the XML response for parsing.
-- An example of the response XML is shown below.
local xml = chilkat.Xml.new()
success = xml:load_xml(responseStr)

print(xml:get_xml())

-- Here's a sample response:

-- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
-- <EnumerationResults ServiceEndpoint="https://chilkat.file.core.windows.net/">
--     <Shares>
--         <Share>

--             </Properties>
--         </Share>

-- Let's iterate over the file shares
local lastMod = chilkat.DateTime.new()

local numShares = xml:num_children_at("Shares")
local i = 0

while i < numShares do
    print("---- Share " .. i .. " ----")
    xml.i = i
    print("Name: " .. xml:get_child_content("Shares|Share[i]|Name"))

    lastMod:to_dt_obj(true, dt)

    print("Last-Modified YMD: " .. dt.year .. "," .. dt.month .. "," .. dt.day)
    i = i + 1

-- Output for the above loop:

-- ---- Share 0 ----

-- ---- Share 1 ----
