I can see from this page that you can access a queue message metadata properties simply enough when they are used as a trigger, but I want to do the opposite. I have an Azure function which writes messages to a queue, but it current has the default Expiration Time and I want to set a much shorter expiration time so they only live on the queue for a very short period.
Is there a way when writing the message to the queue from the Azure Function to set the Expiration time?
Thanks
EDIT 1: One caveat is that I dont know the name of the queue ahead of time. That is part of the incoming message, so the queuename is set as a parameter of the output binding I made the change as recommended by @Mikhail. Here is the function as it stands:
#r "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage"
#r "Newtonsoft.Json"
using System;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Queue;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
public static void Run(MyType myEventHubMessage, CloudQueue outputQueue, TraceWriter log)
{
var deviceId = myEventHubMessage.DeviceId;
var data = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myEventHubMessage);
var msg = new CloudQueueMessage(data);
log.Info($"C# Event Hub trigger function processed a message: {deviceId}");
outputQueue.AddMessage(msg, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(3), null, null, null);
}
public class MyType
{
public string DeviceId { get; set; }
public double Field1{ get; set; }
public double Field2 { get; set; }
public double Field3 { get; set; }
}
And the output binding in my function.json:
{
"type": "CloudQueue",
"name": "$return",
"queueName": "{DeviceId}",
"connection": "myConn",
"direction": "out"
}
