Aspire.Hosting.Azure.Storage library

Provides extension methods and resource definitions for a .NET Aspire AppHost to configure Azure Storage.

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Azure subscription - create one for free
• Azure Storage account - create a storage account

Install the package

Install the .NET Aspire Azure Storage Hosting library with NuGet:

dotnet add package Aspire.Hosting.Azure.Storage

Usage example

In the Program.cs file of AppHost, add a Blob (can use tables or queues also) Storage connection and consume the connection using the following methods:

var blobs = builder.AddAzureStorage("storage").AddBlobs("blobs");

var myService = builder.AddProject<Projects.MyService>()
                       .WithReference(blobs);

The AddBlobs method will read connection information from the AppHost's configuration (for example, from "user secrets") under the ConnectionStrings:blobs config key. The WithReference method passes that connection information into a connection string named blobs in the MyService project. In the Program.cs file of MyService, the connection can be consumed using the client library Aspire.Azure.Storage.Blobs:

builder.AddAzureBlobClient("blobs");
