Getting started

⚠️ Note: The azure_storage_queue crate is currently under active development and not all features may be implemented or work as intended. This crate is in beta and not suitable for Production environments. For any general feedback or usage issues, please open a GitHub issue at https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-rust/issues.

Install the package

Install the Azure Storage Queue client library for Rust with cargo:

cargo add azure_storage_queue

Prerequisites

Create a storage account

If you wish to create a new storage account, you can use the Azure Portal, Azure PowerShell, or Azure CLI:

# Create a new resource group to hold the storage account -
# if using an existing resource group, skip this step
az group create --name my-resource-group --location westus2

# Create the storage account
az storage account create -n my-storage-account-name -g my-resource-group

Authenticate the client

In order to interact with the Azure Queue service, you'll need to create an instance of a client, QueueClient. The Azure Identity library makes it easy to add Microsoft Entra ID support for authenticating Azure SDK clients with their corresponding Azure services:

use azure_storage_queue::{QueueClient, QueueClientOptions};
use azure_identity::DeveloperToolsCredential;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a QueueClient that will authenticate through Microsoft Entra ID
    let credential = DeveloperToolsCredential::new(None)?;
    let queue_client = QueueClient::new(
        "https://<storage_account_name>.blob.core.windows.net/", // endpoint
        "queue-name",                                            // queue name
        credential,                                              // credential
        Some(QueueClientOptions::default()),                     // QueueClient options
    )?;
    Ok(())
}

Permissions

You may need to specify RBAC roles to access Queues via Microsoft Entra ID. Please see Assign an Azure role for access to queue data for more details.
