My file “mainfile.json” in blob storage has the following content :
[
{ "name": "abc", "id": "01", "location": "random" },
{ "month": "Jan", "project": "50%", "training": "50%" },
]
The data I’m trying to add to it is this :
{"month": "Feb", "project":"60%", "training":"40%"}
I want it to be something like this :
[
{ "name": "abc", "id": "01", "location": "random" },
{ "month": "Jan", "project": "50%", "training": "50%" },
{"month": "Feb", "project":"60%", "training":"40%"}
]
I’m using @azure/storage-blob sdk to carry out the same and here’s my code below :
const blobServiceClient = require("./getCred");
const fs = require("fs");
async function appendBlob() {
const containerClient =
blobServiceClient.getContainerClient("containername");
//gets the main content from a blob
const blobClient = containerClient.getBlobClient("mainfile.json");
//the new appended content gets written into this blob
const blockBlobClient = containerClient.getBlockBlobClient("data.json");
// the data that needs to be appended
const data = fs.readFileSync("new-data.json", "utf-8", (err) => {
if (err) {
console.log("File not read");
}
});
// Get blob content from position 0 to the end
// In Node.js, get downloaded data by accessing downloadBlockBlobResponse.readableStreamBody
const downloadBlockBlobResponse = await blobClient.download();
const downloaded = (
await streamToBuffer(downloadBlockBlobResponse.readableStreamBody)
).toString();
const append = await appendingFile(downloaded, data);
const uploadBlobResponse = await blockBlobClient.upload(
append,
append.length
);
console.log(
`Uploaded block blob to testing.json successfully`,
uploadBlobResponse.requestId
);
// [Node.js only] A helper method used to read a Node.js readable stream into a Buffer
async function streamToBuffer(readableStream) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const chunks = [];
readableStream.on("data", (data) => {
chunks.push(data instanceof Buffer ? data : Buffer.from(data));
});
readableStream.on("end", () => {
resolve(Buffer.concat(chunks));
});
readableStream.on("error", reject);
});
}
async function appendingFile(content, toBeAdded) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
let temp = content.concat(toBeAdded);
console.log(temp);
resolve(temp);
reject(new Error("Error occurred"));
});
}
}
But I get the following as the output :
[
{
"name": "KK",
"id": "01",
"location": "chennai"
},
{
"month": "December",
"project": "50%",
"training": "50%"
}
]
{
"month": "January",
"adaptive-cards": "50%",
"azure-func-app": "50%"
}
My entire approach could be wrong as I’m new to coding. Please help me with this. Thanks in advance.
