CreateContainer Method
Creates a new container.
Syntax
azureblob.createContainer([callback])
Callback
The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).
The callback for this method is defined as:
function(err){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:
err.code err.message
Remarks
This method creates a new container using the name specified by the Container property;
If the SendMetadata configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the Metadata* properties will be sent along with the creation request.
Container Name Rules
Container names must adhere to the following rules:
- Must be 3 to 63 characters long.
- Must start with a letter or number; and may only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens.
- All letters much be lowercase. (For convenience, the class will automatically lowercase all letters in any value assigned to Container.)
- All hyphens must be immediately preceded and followed by a letter or number (consecutive hyphens are not allowed).
