Storage Explorer Extensibility Preview

Open MRayermannMSFT opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hello everyone! We're looking for developers who would be interested in creating Storage Explorer extensions.

We want to preview the writing of Storage Explorer extensions to those who are interested. For this preview, you would be able to create extensions that build on top of existing Storage Explorer features and experiences. For example, adding an action to the context menu of the blob explorer. Clicking the action would trigger your extension and allow you to run your code against your data in Azure Storage.

If you are interested in being a part of this preview, please take this survey: https://aka.ms/storageexplorer/extensibilityprivatepreviewsurvey

FAQ:

What languages are extensions written in?

Extensions are primarily written using JavaScript and HTML.

Do I need to know how to code to participate in the preview?

Yes. We are looking for those with existing coding experience.

Do I need to have an existing idea for an extension?

Yes. We will not be providing ideas for you.

What types of extensions are you looking for?

We're looking for extensions that build on top of existing Storage Explorer features and experiences. For example:

  • Adding actions to the blob explorer context menu
  • Adding actions to the blob container context menu
  • Doing something after an upload/download finishes

Are there any updates on providing an extensibility mechanism for Azure Storage Explorer? I'm willing to sign up for a preview/code camp, etc.

Any updates? We would like to be able to properly search our azure blob storage by prefix, postfix, wildcard etc.
