azure-sdk-for-net VS azure-sdk-for-js

Microsoft.Extensions.Azure is an extension library that allows for uniform integration of the Azure SDK into your applications, while giving you the necessary flexibility to customize the behavior of the created Azure SDK clients. The use of named clients is particularly convenient for supporting multiple instances of the same Azure resource type. You also get free logging as the Azure SDK events are automatically forwarded to an ILogger instance.

You should be able to do something like these examples, as long as they have the same primary key.

So how do you download part of a blob from Azure? Well, in https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/releases/tag/Azure.Storage.Blobs_12.12.0 there's a function that looks like this:

Now granted these tokens do have some limitations as pointed out in the docs. But based on this answer from an Azure dev on Github: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/issues/18108

The testing helpers have more to it than disabling SSL but are not present on NuGet. So naturally, I raised an issue to the SDK team if they have any plans in that direction. Unfortunately, at this point, they have no interest in releasing their internal test tooling. The techniques I mentioned thus far can be used standalone. I, however, felt this was an excellent opportunity to create my first NuGet Package. The package cannot assume how anybody runs Azurite, so I introduced two classes. You can use AzuriteAccountBuilder to configure how things are run, like the account or the ports being used. The AzuriteAccount class provides access to stuff like the connection string. For convenience the package also creates helper methods to create BlobServiceClient, TableServiceClient or QueueServiceClient form an AzuriteAccount.

This seems either a bug in the Azure SDK or in the Service Bus itself, I'm not the only one that ran into this issue and here you can find additional information.

Q: I can obtain tokens locally using Azure CLI and Azure.Identity library when I run on the host machine, but not when inside Docker container because it doesn't have Azure CLI installed! What do I do? A: This has already been asked about by many people here with various interesting solutions here and here.

If you can't and have to deal with this time bomb. Simply use the azure sdk https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js

One of the things I tried was opting into the Interactive Browser of the DefaultAzureCredential as described in that blog post. But even though, I could see the browser method in the src (https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/blob/main/sdk/identity/identity/src/credentials/defaultAzureCredential.browser.ts), I couldn't figure how to opt into this when using the actual SDK. I couldn't find that method in the npm package in Azure Identity, and the documentation (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/@azure/identity/defaultazurecredentialoptions?view=azure-node-latest) didn't help me either. If this is the correct option for my use case, I would like to understand how to opt into it and use it.

In the meantime an new library arrived (Link) that support state-of-the-art JavaScript and TypeScript. To be honest, I was too lazy to switch, as the API changed a bit or maybe I just wanted to keep some work for later improvement ... who knows 😇
