The azure blob storage can't use local storage account

[stefanolsenn]

Hi.

So an easy fix but quite breaking for existing projects, is to inject a connection-string or a CloudStorageAccount instead of StorageCredentials in BlobStorage.cs.

Any possibility for adding this in future releases?

Hi there! I don't see any problem adding a second constructor & extension method that creates the storage with a connection string & optional container name, like so:

public BlobStorage(string connectionString, string containerName = "uploads")
{
    ...
}

In fact, to get this going you should be able to just extend the BlobStorage class in your own project to test it:

using Piranha.Azure;

public CustomBlobStorage : BlobStorage
{
    public CustomBlobStorage(string connectionString, string containerName = "uploads")
    {
        ...
    }
}

And register it in your Startup:

services.AddSingleton<IStorage>(new CustomBlobStorage(...));

Best regards

Very cool, thanks. I already did test with a connection string, and can confirm it solves the problem.
