Constructor Details

#initialize(options = {}) ⇒ Container

Creates a new instance of the WAZ::Blobs::Container. This class isn’t intended for external use to access or create a container you should use the class methods provided like list, create, or find.

Raises:

def initialize(options = {})
  raise WAZ::Storage::InvalidOption, :name unless options.keys.include?(:name) and !options[:name].empty?
  self.name = options[:name]
end

def create(name)

  service_instance.create_container(name)
  return Container.new(:name => name)
end

.find(name) ⇒ Object

Finds a container by name. It will return nil if no container was found.

  rescue RestClient::ResourceNotFound
    return nil
  end
end

.list(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Returns all the containers on the given account.

def list(options = {})
  service_instance.list_containers(options).map { |container| Container.new(container) }
end

.service_instance ⇒ Object

This method is internally used by this class. It’s the way we keep a single instance of the service that wraps the calls the Windows Azure Blobs API. It’s initialized with the values from the default_connection on WAZ::Storage::Base initialized thru establish_connection!

end

Instance Method Details

#[](blob_name) ⇒ Object
