ServerActionInputType

Upload parameters

Returns

ServerActionOutputType

Object with HTTP status and blob URL

Remarks

Execution Context: Server-side only (Next.js server action).

Authentication: Uses Azure DefaultAzureCredential which supports:

  • Managed Identity (production on Azure)
  • Azure CLI credentials (local development)
  • Environment variables (CI/CD)

Side Effects:

  • Creates blob in Azure Storage "invoices" container
  • Emits OpenTelemetry span for tracing
  • Sets blob metadata including size and content type

Performance:

  • Base64 decoding happens server-side
  • Direct upload to Azure (no intermediate storage)

Throws

When Azure authentication fails

Throws

When blob upload fails

Example

import {createInvoiceScan} from "@/lib/actions/invoices/createInvoiceScan";
import {v4 as uuidv4} from "uuid";

// Convert file to base64 (client-side)
const base64 = await fileToBase64(file);

// Upload to Azure (server action)
const {status, blobUrl} = await createInvoiceScan({
  base64Data: base64,
  blobName: `${uuidv4()}.jpg`,
  metadata: { uploadedBy: "user-123" }
});

if (status === 201) {
  console.log("Uploaded to:", blobUrl);
}
