Reviewing saved chats in Azure blob storage in bot based on botframework v4 node.js

I am saving transcripts from my bot that is based on the core-bot sample and written in node.js

I used this solution to do it : https://stackoverflow.com/a/55011499/12456146

I'm trying to figure out how I can extract the chats from the blob and present or review the saved chat in a nice format, but I have been unable to so far.

I haven't found any references at all for this, so please help me out if you can.

If you use AzureBlobTranscriptStore and TranscriptLoggerMiddleware to log your bot chatting history, logs will be stored in your blob storage under folder: <channel name>/<conversation ID|channel>. And each activity will be logged as a .json file.

For instance, I use bot emulator to test it, all logs are stored as below : enter image description here

You can use Azure nodejs storage SDK or Azure Az Powershell to read them.

In this case I use Azure powershell to get chat logs , try the powershell below :

$storageAccount = "<your storage account name>"
$resourceGroup = "<your resource group name>"
$containerName = "<your container name>"
$storage = Get-AzStorageAccount -name $storageAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup
$channel="emulator"
$conversationID = "<conversationID>"
$prefix = $channel+"/"+$conversationID 

$chatlogs = Get-AzStorageBlob -Prefix $prefix -Container $containerName -Context $storage.Context 

$tempPath = "d:/temp/"
mkdir $tempPath
foreach($log in $chatlogs){
    $jsonFile = Get-AzStorageBlobContent -Blob $log.Name -Container $containerName -Context $storage.Context -Destination $tempPath -Force
    Get-Content -Raw -Path ($tempPath+$jsonFile.Name) | ConvertFrom-Json | select type,timestamp,from,recipient,text
}

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force $tempPath

You can find conversation ID in emulator here : enter image description here

Result :

Hope it helps.

Update :

Try the code below to get chatlogs content by storage nodejs SDK : 

var azure = require('azure-storage');

var storageAccount = "<storage account name>"
var key = "<storage key>"
var container ="chatlog"
var conversationID = "<conversation ID>"
var channel = "emulator"
var prefix = channel + "/" + conversationID

var blobService = azure.createBlobService(storageAccount,key);

 blobService.listBlobsSegmentedWithPrefix(container,prefix,null,function(err, results, resp){

    results.entries.forEach(element => {

     blobService.getBlobToText(container,element.name,function(err, results, resp){console.log(results);
     });

  });
 });

Result :
