Azure Blob Storage for Payload

This package provides a simple way to use Azure Blob Storage with Payload.

NOTE: This package removes the need to use @payloadcms/plugin-cloud-storage as was needed in Payload 2.x.

Installation

pnpm add @payloadcms/storage-azure

Usage

• Configure the collections object to specify which collections should use the Azure Blob Storage adapter. The slug must match one of your existing collection slugs.
• When enabled, this package will automatically set disableLocalStorage to true for each collection.
• When deploying to Vercel, server uploads are limited with 4.5MB. Set clientUploads to true to do uploads directly on the client. You must allow CORS PUT method to your website.

import { azureStorage } from '@payloadcms/storage-azure'
import { Media } from './collections/Media'
import { MediaWithPrefix } from './collections/MediaWithPrefix'

export default buildConfig({
  collections: [Media, MediaWithPrefix],
  plugins: [
    azureStorage({
      collections: {
        media: true,
        'media-with-prefix': {
          prefix,
        },
      },
      allowContainerCreate: process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_ALLOW_CONTAINER_CREATE === 'true',
      baseURL: process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_BASEURL,
      connectionString: process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING,
      containerName: process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER_NAME,
    }),
  ],
})
