Azure-sdk-for-js: Use Development in @azure/storage-blob

[ahmedspiir]

I basically want to use UseDevelopmentStorage=true but with the new way of providing credentials using StorageSharedKeyCredential i only can share account name and key.

Example:

// Use StorageSharedKeyCredential with storage account and account key
// StorageSharedKeyCredential is only avaiable in Node.js runtime, not in browsers
const sharedKeyCredential = new StorageSharedKeyCredential(accountName, accountKey);

So where i'm supposed to use UseDevelopmentStorage=true?
The docs around the library are not clear enough and don't match all of the basic use cases!

@ahmedspiir For BlobServiceClient you can use the static function fromConnectionString().

For other clients there are constructor overload that takes a connection string, for example, ContainerClient has

  /**
   *
   * Creates an instance of BlobClient from connection string.
   *
   * @param {string} connectionString Account connection string or a SAS connection string of an Azure storage account.
   *                                  [ Note - Account connection string can only be used in NODE.JS runtime. ]
   *                                  Account connection string example -
   *                                  `DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=myaccount;AccountKey=accountKey;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net`
   *                                  SAS connection string example -
   *                                  `BlobEndpoint=https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/;QueueEndpoint=https://myaccount.queue.core.windows.net/;FileEndpoint=https://myaccount.file.core.windows.net/;TableEndpoint=https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/;SharedAccessSignature=sasString`
   * @param {string} containerName Container name.
   * @param {string} blobName Blob name.
   * @param {StoragePipelineOptions} [options] Optional. Options to configure the HTTP pipeline.
   * @memberof BlobClient
   */
  constructor(
    connectionString: string,
    containerName: string,
    blobName: string,
    options?: StoragePipelineOptions
  );

Please let us know if the above doesn't work for you.
