# Intro
This project provides a Ruby gem for easy access to the Azure ARM Storage API. With this gem you can create/update/list/delete storage accounts.
# Supported Ruby Versions
* Ruby 2+
Note: x64 Ruby for Windows is known to have some compatibility issues.
# Getting started
## Setting up the service principal
First of all to start interacting with the ARM resources you will need to setup a service principal. Service principal is an Azure application which allows you to authenticate to Azure and access Azure services. The detailed steps of how to setup a service principal can be found in this article: http://aka.ms/cli-service-principal. In the result of setting up service principal you will get tenant id, client id and client secret data.
## Installation
install the appropriate gem:
```
gem install azure_mgmt_storage
```
and reference it in your code:
```Ruby
require 'azure_mgmt_storage'
```
After that you should be ready to start using SDK!
## Authentication
```Ruby
# Create authentication objects
token_provider = MsRestAzure::ApplicationTokenProvider.new(tenant_id, client_id, secret)
credentials = MsRest::TokenCredentials.new(token_provider)
```
To get tenant_id, client_id and secret for your Azure application visit Azure portal or copy them from the powershell script from the article mentioned above.
## Creating storage account
```Ruby
# Create a client - a point of access to the API and set the subscription id
client = Azure::ARM::Storage::StorageManagementClient.new(credentials)
client.subscription_id = subscription_id
# Create a model for new storage account.
params = Models::StorageAccountCreateParameters.new
params.location = 'westus'
sku = Models::Sku.new
sku.name = 'Standard_LRS'
params.sku = sku
params.kind = Models::Kind::Storage
promise = client.storage_accounts.create_async('some_existing_resource_group', 'newstorageaccount', params)
```
The SDK method returns a promise which you can utilize depending on your needs. E.g. if you need to get result immediately via sync blocking call - do the following:
```Ruby
result = promise.value!
```
If you need to follow async flow - provide a block which will be executed in off main thread:
```Ruby
promise = promise.then do |result|
# Handle the result
end
```
In both cases you're returned an instance of MsRestAzure::AzureOperationResponse which contains HTTP requests/response objects and response body. Response body is a deserialized object representing the received information. In case of code above - newly created storage account. To get data from it:
```Ruby
storage_account = result.body
p storage_account.location
p storage_account.sku.name
```
Congrats, you've create new storage account. We encourage you to try more stuff and let us know your feedback!
For advanced SDK usage please reference to the spec file storage_management_spec.rb.
