File Share Helper

A library for interfacing with Azure File Share

• listening to changes and make callbacks with identified changes
• backing up files
• downloading files

Motivation

By listening to Azure File Share changes it is possible to kick off processing pipelines as end users dump files into a file share.

How to use

Listen

For each change identified the callback receives an entity of the following form

{
    name: <filename>,
    action: <one of create or update>
}

• Define your callback to handle the change ...which is an entity with keys 'name' and 'action
• Define your config which references Azure
• Instantiate the listener with the config
• Request to listen with changes delivered to your callback

let mycallback =(change)=>{
    let { name, action} = change
    ...handle change to file
}
let config = {
      POLL_FREQUENCY: 10000,
      account: <azure account>,
      accountKey: <azure access key>,
      shareName: <azure file name>,
      directoryName: <azure directory>
    }
let listener = Listener(config)
listener.listen(mycallback)
