PageBlobClient class

Reference

Package:: @azure/storage-blob

PageBlobClient defines a set of operations applicable to page blobs.

Extends: BlobClient

Constructors

PageBlobClient(string, PipelineLike)	Creates an instance of PageBlobClient.
PageBlobClient(string, StorageSharedKeyCredential \| AnonymousCredential \| TokenCredential, StoragePipelineOptions)	Creates an instance of PageBlobClient. This method accepts an encoded URL or non-encoded URL pointing to a blob. Encoded URL string will NOT be escaped twice, only special characters in URL path will be escaped. If a blob name includes ? or %, blob name must be encoded in the URL.
PageBlobClient(string, string, string, StoragePipelineOptions)	Creates an instance of PageBlobClient.

Properties

accountName
containerName	The name of the storage container the blob is associated with.
credential	Such as AnonymousCredential, StorageSharedKeyCredential or any credential from the `@azure/identity` package to authenticate requests to the service. You can also provide an object that implements the TokenCredential interface. If not specified, AnonymousCredential is used.
name	The name of the blob.
url	Encoded URL string value.

Methods

abortCopyFromURL(string, BlobAbortCopyFromURLOptions)	Aborts a pending asynchronous Copy Blob operation, and leaves a destination blob with zero length and full metadata. Version 2012-02-12 and newer.
beginCopyFromURL(string, BlobBeginCopyFromURLOptions)	Asynchronously copies a blob to a destination within the storage account. This method returns a long running operation poller that allows you to wait indefinitely until the copy is completed. You can also cancel a copy before it is completed by calling `cancelOperation` on the poller. Note that the onProgress callback will not be invoked if the operation completes in the first request, and attempting to cancel a completed copy will result in an error being thrown. In version 2012-02-12 and later, the source for a Copy Blob operation can be a committed blob in any Azure storage account. Beginning with version 2015-02-21, the source for a Copy Blob operation can be an Azure file in any Azure storage account. Only storage accounts created on or after June 7th, 2012 allow the Copy Blob operation to copy from another storage account.
clearPages(number, number, PageBlobClearPagesOptions)	Frees the specified pages from the page blob.
create(number, PageBlobCreateOptions)	Creates a page blob of the specified length. Call uploadPages to upload data data to a page blob.
createIfNotExists(number, PageBlobCreateIfNotExistsOptions)	Creates a page blob of the specified length. Call uploadPages to upload data data to a page blob. If the blob with the same name already exists, the content of the existing blob will remain unchanged.
createSnapshot(BlobCreateSnapshotOptions)	Creates a read-only snapshot of a blob.
delete(BlobDeleteOptions)	Marks the specified blob or snapshot for deletion. The blob is later deleted during garbage collection. Note that in order to delete a blob, you must delete all of its snapshots. You can delete both at the same time with the Delete Blob operation.
deleteIfExists(BlobDeleteOptions)	Marks the specified blob or snapshot for deletion if it exists. The blob is later deleted during garbage collection. Note that in order to delete a blob, you must delete all of its snapshots. You can delete both at the same time with the Delete Blob operation.
deleteImmutabilityPolicy(BlobDeleteImmutabilityPolicyOptions)	Delete the immutablility policy on the blob.
download(number, number, BlobDownloadOptions)	Reads or downloads a blob from the system, including its metadata and properties. You can also call Get Blob to read a snapshot. In Node.js, data returns in a Readable stream readableStreamBody In browsers, data returns in a promise blobBody
downloadToBuffer(Buffer, number, number, BlobDownloadToBufferOptions)	ONLY AVAILABLE IN NODE.JS RUNTIME. Downloads an Azure Blob in parallel to a buffer. Offset and count are optional, downloads the entire blob if they are not provided. Warning: Buffers can only support files up to about one gigabyte on 32-bit systems or about two gigabytes on 64-bit systems due to limitations of Node.js/V8. For blobs larger than this size, consider <xref:downloadToFile>.
downloadToBuffer(number, number, BlobDownloadToBufferOptions)	ONLY AVAILABLE IN NODE.JS RUNTIME. Downloads an Azure Blob in parallel to a buffer. Offset and count are optional, downloads the entire blob if they are not provided. Warning: Buffers can only support files up to about one gigabyte on 32-bit systems or about two gigabytes on 64-bit systems due to limitations of Node.js/V8. For blobs larger than this size, consider <xref:downloadToFile>.
downloadToFile(string, number, number, BlobDownloadOptions)	ONLY AVAILABLE IN NODE.JS RUNTIME. Downloads an Azure Blob to a local file. Fails if the the given file path already exits. Offset and count are optional, pass 0 and undefined respectively to download the entire blob.
exists(BlobExistsOptions)	Returns true if the Azure blob resource represented by this client exists; false otherwise. NOTE: use this function with care since an existing blob might be deleted by other clients or applications. Vice versa new blobs might be added by other clients or applications after this function completes.
generateSasUrl(BlobGenerateSasUrlOptions)	Only available for BlobClient constructed with a shared key credential. Generates a Blob Service Shared Access Signature (SAS) URI based on the client properties and parameters passed in. The SAS is signed by the shared key credential of the client.
getAppendBlobClient()	Creates a AppendBlobClient object.
getBlobLeaseClient(string)	Get a <xref:BlobLeaseClient> that manages leases on the blob.
getBlockBlobClient()	Creates a BlockBlobClient object.
getPageBlobClient()	Creates a PageBlobClient object.
getPageRanges(number, number, PageBlobGetPageRangesOptions)	Returns the list of valid page ranges for a page blob or snapshot of a page blob.

resize(number, PageBlobResizeOptions)	Resizes the page blob to the specified size (which must be a multiple of 512).
setAccessTier(BlockBlobTier \| PremiumPageBlobTier \| string, BlobSetTierOptions)	Sets the tier on a blob. The operation is allowed on a page blob in a premium storage account and on a block blob in a blob storage account (locally redundant storage only). A premium page blob's tier determines the allowed size, IOPS, and bandwidth of the blob. A block blob's tier determines Hot/Cool/Archive storage type. This operation does not update the blob's ETag.
setHTTPHeaders(BlobHTTPHeaders, BlobSetHTTPHeadersOptions)	Sets system properties on the blob. If no value provided, or no value provided for the specified blob HTTP headers, these blob HTTP headers without a value will be cleared.

Valid tag key and value characters include lower and upper case letters, digits (0-9), space (' '), plus ('+'), minus ('-'), period ('.'), foward slash ('/'), colon (':'), equals ('='), and underscore ('_').
startCopyIncremental(string, PageBlobStartCopyIncrementalOptions)	Begins an operation to start an incremental copy from one page blob's snapshot to this page blob. The snapshot is copied such that only the differential changes between the previously copied snapshot are transferred to the destination. The copied snapshots are complete copies of the original snapshot and can be read or copied from as usual.
syncCopyFromURL(string, BlobSyncCopyFromURLOptions)	The synchronous Copy From URL operation copies a blob or an internet resource to a new blob. It will not return a response until the copy is complete.
undelete(BlobUndeleteOptions)	Restores the contents and metadata of soft deleted blob and any associated soft deleted snapshots. Undelete Blob is supported only on version 2017-07-29 or later.
updateSequenceNumber(SequenceNumberActionType, number, PageBlobUpdateSequenceNumberOptions)	Sets a page blob's sequence number.
uploadPages(HttpRequestBody, number, number, PageBlobUploadPagesOptions)	Writes 1 or more pages to the page blob. The start and end offsets must be a multiple of 512.
uploadPagesFromURL(string, number, number, number, PageBlobUploadPagesFromURLOptions)	The Upload Pages operation writes a range of pages to a page blob where the contents are read from a URL.
withSnapshot(string)	Creates a new PageBlobClient object identical to the source but with the specified snapshot timestamp. Provide "" will remove the snapshot and return a Client to the base blob.
