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. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local rest = chilkat.Rest.new()

-- 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
local bTls = true
local port = 443
local bAutoReconnect = true
local success = rest:connect("myaccount.table.core.windows.net", port, bTls, bAutoReconnect)
if not success then
    print("ConnectFailReason: " .. rest.connect_fail_reason)
    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 = "myaccount"
azAuth.scheme = "SharedKey"
azAuth.service = "Table"

-- This causes the "x-ms-version: 2019-07-07" header to be automatically added.
azAuth.xms_version = "2019-07-07"
success = rest:set_auth_azure_storage(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"
-- }
