Config your Publish Environment

To actual publish the release to azure, you have to have someting as credential. These things are secret. Don't put them in public space.

You can either have accountKey, token of azure storage account to use as credential.

For accountKey, you can place it inside the environment variable named AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY. Or, you can put it in package.json like:

{
    "provider": "custom", // have to be custom
    "providerName": "azure",
    "accountKey": "Your account key",
    "container": "releases", // can be any container in your azure blob, default is release
    "account": "accountName" // your azure storage account name
}

For token, you can place it inside the environment variable named AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN. Or, you can put it in package.json like:

{
    "provider": "custom", // have to be custom
    "providerName": "azure",
    "accountKey": "Your account token",
    "container": "releases", // can be any container in your azure blob, default is release
    "account": "accountName" // your azure storage account name
}
