List blobs in folder #42

Closed thinkbeforecoding closed 9 years ago

thinkbeforecoding commented 10 years ago

There is only one operation on folders for blob containers to download all files in the folder. It'd be great to be able to list blobs in a folder to iterate on it. Like:

account.``path/``.``to/``.``folder/``
|> Seq.map (fun blob -> blob.Name)

A good idea. This would bring the blob side of things more to a programmatic model than the current script-first style. It would probably need to bring in all children recursively (rather than just the immediate children).

It should probably be a method underneath the folder though e.g.

 account.``path/``.``to/``.``folder/``.``GetBlobReferences()``
 |> Seq.map(fun blob -> blob.Name)

Something I don't think that we want to do is just recreate the existing Azure SDK though.

The SDK enable to list only children or recursively.. Could be like 

account.``path/``.``to/``.``folder/``.Children
 |> Seq.map(fun blob -> blob.Name)
account.``path/``.``to/``.``folder/``.Descendants
 |> Seq.map(fun blob -> blob.Name)

Or something like that... It's useful when you're interested in things bellow a certain level, but go through the first levels quickly in script..

Yeah, I knew about the SDK - more about how you want to interact with it from the TP. I've created a branch, "folderBlobEnumeration" which gives a simple version of this - can you have a look at it and let me know your thoughts?
