const { ShareServiceClient } = require("@azure/storage-file-share");
const fs = require("fs");

const connectionString = process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING;
const serviceClient = ShareServiceClient.fromConnectionString(connectionString);
async function uploadFile() {
    const shareName = "myshare";
    const directoryName = "";
    const fileName = "example.txt";

    const shareClient = serviceClient.getShareClient(shareName);
    const directoryClient = shareClient.getDirectoryClient(directoryName);
    const fileClient = directoryClient.getFileClient(fileName);

    const fileContent = fs.readFileSync("./example.txt");
    await fileClient.create(fileContent.length);
    await fileClient.uploadRange(fileContent, 0, fileContent.length);
