Skill Content
# @azure/storage-queue (TypeScript/JavaScript)
SDK for Azure Queue Storage operations — send, receive, peek, and manage messages in queues.
Installation
```bash
npm install @azure/storage-queue @azure/identity
```
**Current Version**: 12.x
**Node.js**: >= 18.0.0
Environment Variables
```bash
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=<account-name>
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY=<account-key>
# OR connection string
AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING=DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=...
```
Authentication
DefaultAzureCredential (Recommended)
```typescript
import { QueueServiceClient } from "@azure/storage-queue";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";
const accountName = process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME!;
const client = new QueueServiceClient(
`https://${accountName}.queue.core.windows.net`,
new DefaultAzureCredential()
);
```
Connection String
```typescript
import { QueueServiceClient } from "@azure/storage-queue";
const client = QueueServiceClient.fromConnectionString(
process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING!
);
```
StorageSharedKeyCredential (Node.js only)
```typescript
import { QueueServiceClient, StorageSharedKeyCredential } from "@azure/storage-queue";
const accountName = process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME!;
const accountKey = process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY!;
const sharedKeyCredential = new StorageSharedKeyCredential(accountName, accountKey);
const client = new QueueServiceClient(
`https://${accountName}.queue.core.windows.net`,
sharedKeyCredential
);
```
SAS Token
```typescript
import { QueueServiceClient } from "@azure/storage-queue";
const accountName = process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME!;
const sasToken = process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_SAS_TOKEN!;
const client = new QueueServiceClient(
`https://${accountName}.queue.core.windows.net${sasToken}`
);
```
Client Hierarchy
```
QueueServiceClient (account level)
└── QueueClient (queue level)
└── Messages (send, receive, peek, delete)
```
Queue Operations
Create Queue
```typescript
const queueClient = client.getQueueClient("my-queue");
await queueClient.create();
// Or create if not exists
await queueClient.createIfNotExists();
```
List Queues
```typescript
for await (const queue of client.listQueues()) {
console.log(queue.name);
}
// With prefix filter
for await (const queue of client.listQueues({ prefix: "task-" })) {
console.log(queue.name);
}
```
Delete Queue
```typescript
await queueClient.delete();
// Or delete if exists
await queueClient.deleteIfExists();
```
Get Queue Properties
```typescript
const properties = await queueClient.getProperties();
console.log("Approximate message count:", properties.approximateMessagesCount);
console.log("Metadata:", properties.metadata);
```
Set Queue Metadata
```typescript
await queueClient.setMetadata({
department: "engineering",
priority: "high",
});
```
Message Operations
Send Message
```typescript
const queueClient = client.getQueueClient("my-queue");
// Simple message
await queueClient.sendMessage("Hello, World!");
// With options
await queueClient.sendMessage("Delayed message", {
visibilityTimeout: 60, // Hidden for 60 seconds
messageTimeToLive: 3600, // Expires in 1 hour
});
// JSON message (must be string)
const task = { type: "process", data: { id: 123 } };
await queueClient.sendMessage(JSON.stringify(task));
```
Receive Messages
```typescript
// Receive up to 32 messages (default: 1)
const response = await queueClient.receiveMessages({
numberOfMessages: 10,
visibilityTimeout: 30, // 30 seconds to process
});
for (const message of response.receivedMessageItems) {
console.log("Message ID:", message.messageId);
console.log("Content:", message.messageText);
console.log("Dequeue Count:", message.dequeueCount);
console.log("Pop Receipt:", message.popReceipt);
// Process the message...
// Delete after processing
await queueClient.deleteMessage(mess
