[QUERY] Azure.Storage.Blobs: How to generate SAS URL for a blob when using storage emulator

[yasufs]

Query/Question
How do I generate a SAS URL for a blob when using the storage emulator (UseDevelopmentStorage=true)?
When using a real storage account, I can use BlobSasBuilder + StorageSharedKeyCredential, but I couldn't find a good way to get a StorageSharedKeyCredential to use with the storage emulator.
I know there is a well-known account name & key for the emulator, but it would be really ugly to have to hardcode these into the application code. I think these are exist as constants in the SDK, but hidden inside internal classes.

Environment:

• Azure.Storage.Blobs 12.4.4
• Windows 10 .NET Core 3.1
• Visual Studio 16.6.2

Hi,

Are you asking for us to expose these credentials?

Unfortunately I don't think we can expose these constants. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please reactivate if I missed the mark on answering your question.

With the old Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage SDK I could do something like:

var account = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("UseDevelopmentStorage=true");
var sasQueryString = account.CreateCloudBlobClient()
                            .GetContainerReference(container)
                            .GetBlockBlobReference(blob)
                            .GetSharedAccessSignature(policy);

to get a SAS token for a blob. I was just wondering what is the recommended way to do this with the latest Azure.Storage.Blobs SDK.
If there is simply no way to do it without hardcoding, then you can just tell me that and I'll go ahead with the hardcoding.

It would nice to have a nicer way to do that though... for example, if #12414 is addressed then that would solve my issue.
