Create and use account SAS tokens with Azure Blob Storage and JavaScript

To use the account SAS token, you need to combine it with the account name to create the URI. Pass the URI to create the blobServiceClient. Once you have the blobServiceClient, you can use that client to access your Blob service.

// connect-with-sas-token.js
const { BlobServiceClient } = require('@azure/storage-blob');
require('dotenv').config()

const accountName = process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME;
const sasToken = process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_SAS_TOKEN;
if (!accountName) throw Error('Azure Storage accountName not found');
if (!sasToken) throw Error('Azure Storage accountKey not found');

const blobServiceUri = `https://${accountName}.blob.core.windows.net`;

// https://YOUR-RESOURCE-NAME.blob.core.windows.net?YOUR-SAS-TOKEN
const blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClient(
  `${blobServiceUri}?${sasToken}`,
  null
);

async function main(){
  
  const containerName = 'REPLACE-WITH-EXISTING-CONTAINER-NAME';
  const blobName = 'REPLACE-WITH-EXISTING-BLOB-NAME';

  const timestamp = Date.now();
  const fileName = `my-new-file-${timestamp}.txt`;

  // create container client
  const containerClient = await blobServiceClient.getContainerClient(containerName);

  // create blob client
  const blobClient = await containerClient.getBlockBlobClient(blobName);

  // download file
  await blobClient.downloadToFile(fileName);

  console.log(`${fileName} downloaded`);
  
}

main()
  .then(() => console.log(`done`))
  .catch((ex) => console.log(`error: ${ex.message}`));

// Azure Storage dependency
const {
  ContainerClient
} = require("@azure/storage-blob");

// For development environment - include environment variables
require("dotenv").config();

const accountName = process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME;
if (!accountName) throw Error("Azure Storage accountName not found");

// Container must exist prior to running this script
const containerName = `test`;

// SAS token must have LIST permissions on container that haven't expired
const sasToken = process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_SAS_TOKEN;

// Create SAS URL
const sasUrl = `https://${accountName}.blob.core.windows.net/${containerName}?${sasToken}`;

async function main() {
  try {
    // create container client from SAS token
    const containerClient = new ContainerClient(sasUrl);

    // do something with containerClient...
    let i = 1;

    // List blobs in container
    for await (const blob of containerClient.listBlobsFlat()) {
        console.log(`Blob ${i++}: ${blob.name}`);
    }   
    
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
    throw err;
