Storing JSON data as columns in Azure table storage
In case anyone is looking for a solution in c#:
private static async Task ProcessMessage(string message, DateTime enqueuedTime)
{
var deviceData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(message);
var dynamicTableEntity = new DynamicTableEntity();
dynamicTableEntity.RowKey = enqueuedTime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff");
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, JToken> keyValuePair in deviceData)
{
if (keyValuePair.Key.Equals("MyPartitionKey"))
{
dynamicTableEntity.PartitionKey = keyValuePair.Value.ToString();
}
else if (keyValuePair.Key.Equals("Timestamp")) // if you are using a parameter "Timestamp" it has to be stored in a column named differently because the column "Timestamp" will automatically be filled when adding a line to table storage
{
dynamicTableEntity.Properties.Add("MyTimestamp", EntityProperty.CreateEntityPropertyFromObject(keyValuePair.Value));
}
else
{
dynamicTableEntity.Properties.Add(keyValuePair.Key, EntityProperty.CreateEntityPropertyFromObject(keyValuePair.Value));
}
}
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("myStorageConnectionString");
CloudTableClient tableClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudTableClient();
CloudTable table = tableClient.GetTableReference("myTableName");
table.CreateIfNotExists();
var tableOperation = TableOperation.Insert(dynamicTableEntity);
await table.ExecuteAsync(tableOperation);
}
How do I get it into columns for ts, timeToConnect, batLevel, and vbat?
To get these attributes as separate columns in table, you would need to defalte the object and store them separately (currently you are just converting the entire object into string and storing that string).
Please try the following code:
module.exports = function (context, iotHubMessage) {
context.log('Message received: ' + JSON.stringify(iotHubMessage));
var deviceData = {
"partitionKey": moment.utc().format('YYYYMMDD'),
"rowKey": moment.utc().format('hhmmss') + process.hrtime()[1] + '',
};
Object.keys(iotHubMessage).forEach(function(key) {
deviceData[key] = iotHubMessage[key];
});
context.bindings.deviceData = deviceData;
context.done();
};
Please note that I have not tried to execute this code so it may contain some errors.
