Available input and output bindings
Bindings provide a way to connect to data for inputs and to store data for outputs, in simple terms.
Let's discuss input binding first and get familiar with it.
Types of input bindings
There are four types of input bindings:
- Blob storage: Blob content is used as input to the Azure Function. For example, consider a scenario where we want to create thumbnails for an image whenever a new image is uploaded to the blob storage. In this case, we will create a blob trigger with input bind and blob storage.
- Storage tables: Storage table content is used as input to the Azure Function. For example, instead of hardcoding configuration data in the Azure Function, store all of the configuration in the storage table and bind with the Azure Function. So when our function runs, it takes all the input from the storage table.
- SQL tables: SQL table data can also be used as input for the Azure Function. For example, consider a scenario where we want to check the quantity of a product...
