Check if file exists on blob storage with Azure fu

问题:

Based on https://ppolyzos.com/2016/12/30/resize-images-using-azure-functions/ I have the following C# code to resize an image using Azure Functions.

#r "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage"
using ImageResizer;
using ImageResizer.ExtensionMethods;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob;

public static void Run(Stream inputBlob, string blobname, string blobextension, CloudBlockBlob outputBlob, TraceWriter log)
{
    log.Info($"Resize function triggered\n Image name:{blobname} \n Size: {inputBlob.Length} Bytes");
    log.Info("Processing 520x245");

    /// Defining parameters for the Resizer plugin
    var instructions = new Instructions
    {
        Width = 520,
        Height = 245,
        Mode = FitMode.Carve,
        Scale = ScaleMode.Both
    };

    /// Resizing IMG
    Stream stream = new MemoryStream();
    ImageBuilder.Current.Build(new ImageJob(inputBlob, stream, instructions));
    stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

    /// Changing the ContentType (MIME) for the resulting images
    string contentType = $"image/{blobextension}";
    outputBlob.Properties.ContentType = contentType;
    outputBlob.UploadFromStream(stream);
}

The result will be an image named 520x245-{blobname}.{blobextension}.

I would like the code to run only if the resulting image does not already exist in the blob container.
How can I get the existing files on the container?

回答1:

Since you are using CloudBlockBlob type to bind outputBlob. You could check whether this blob exist or not using following code.

if (outputBlob.Exists())
{
    log.Info($"520x245-{blobname}.{blobextension} is already exist");  
}
else
{
    log.Info($"520x245-{blobname}.{blobextension} is not exist");  
    //do the resize and upload the resized image to blob  
}

Currently, Azure Function doesn't allow us to use CloudBlockBlob in output blob binding. A workaround is change the direction to "inout" in function.json. After that, we can use CloudBlockBlob in output blob binding.

{
  "type": "blob",
  "name": "outputBlob",
  "path": "mycontainer/520x245-{blobname}.{blobextension}",
  "connection": "connectionname",
  "direction": "inout"
}

回答2:

Check if your Blob exists in the container, but then you will need to add the CloudBlobContainer as input parameter as well.

CloudBlockBlob existingBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(blobName);

And check if it exists using

await existingBlob.ExistsAsync()
