Azure Blob Trigger Function - Reference

This function is designed to trigger a function whenever a blob is created, updated, or deleted in an Azure Blob Storage account.

It's commonly used to process uploaded files, monitor changes in storage, or react to events within a storage account.

Key Concepts

• Event Trigger: The function is triggered by events in the connected Azure Blob Storage account.
• Blob Storage Account Connection: The function must be configured to connect to your Azure Blob Storage account.
• Blob Name & Type: The function receives information about the blob that triggered the event, such as its name, type (block blob, page blob), and content.
• Authentication: The function needs appropriate authentication credentials to access the Blob Storage account.

Example Usage

Here's a simplified illustration of how the function might be used:

            
            // Example JavaScript Code (Conceptual)

            async function processBlob(blobName, blobType) {
                console.log(`Blob ${blobName} of type ${blobType} triggered the function.`);
                // Process the blob here - e.g., save it to a database, resize it, etc.
            }

            // The function would be called automatically when a blob event occurs.
