TableInput Interface

Package:

com.microsoft.azure.functions.annotation

Maven Artifact:

com.microsoft.azure.functions:azure-functions-java-library:1.3.1

Implements

java.lang.annotation.Annotation

public interface TableInput
implements java.lang.annotation.Annotation

Place this on a parameter whose value would come from storage table. The parameter type can be one of the following:

• Any native Java types such as int, String, byte[]
• Nullable values using Optional
• Any POJO type

The following example shows an HTTP trigger which returned the total count of the items in a table storage:

@FunctionName("getallcount")
 public int run(
    @HttpTrigger(name = "req",
                  methods = {"get"},
                  authLevel = AuthorizationLevel.ANONYMOUS) Object dummyShouldNotBeUsed,
    @TableInput(name = "items",
                 tableName = "mytablename",
                 partitionKey = "myparkey",
                 connection = "myconnvarname") MyItem[] items
 ) {
     return items.length;
 }

Method Details

connection

public abstract String connection()

Defines the app setting name that contains the Azure Storage connection string.

name

public abstract String name()

The variable name used in function.json.

Returns:

The variable name used in function.json.

partitionKey

public abstract String partitionKey()

Defines the partition key of the storage table to which to bind.

Returns:

The storage table partition key string.

rowKey

public abstract String rowKey()

Defines the row key of the storage table to which to bind.

Returns:

The storage table row key string.

tableName

public abstract String tableName()

Defines the name of the storage table to which to bind.

Returns:

The storage table name string.

take

public abstract String take()

Defines the number of rows to be retrieved from the storage table to which to bind.
