SPFx Azure Data Table - Error when generating SAS token

Question

I’m developing a SPFx application customizer. One of the requirements is to connect to Azure Data Table to retrieve a list of all entities. I’m trying to generate a SAS token in my SPFx extension code to connect to the data table. I’m using the below sample provided for @Azure/Data-table in Azure SDK. I’m getting an error on the generateSasTable() function.

  console.log("== Generate Table Account SAS Sample ==");

  // We need a NamedKeyCredential to generate the SAS token
  const cred = new AzureNamedKeyCredential(accountName, accountKey);

  const tablePermissions: TableSasPermissions = {
    // Allows adding entities
    add: true,
    // Allows querying entities
    query: true,
    // Allows deleting entities
    delete: true,
    // Allows updating entities
    update: true
  };
  const anHourFromNow = Date.now() + 60 * 60 * 1000;


  // Create the table SAS token
  const tableSas = generateTableSas(tableName, cred, {
    expiresOn: new Date(anHourFromNow),
    permissions: tablePermissions
  });
  console.log(tableSas);

  const table = new TableClient(tableUrl, tableName, new AzureSASCredential(tableSas));

  // List all the entities in the table
  const entities = table.listEntities();
    for await (const entity of entities) {
    console.log(entity);
  }

The error I receive is as per below:

computeHMACSHA256.browser.js:4 Uncaught (in promise) Error: computeHMACSHA256 is not supported in the browser

The account that I’m using has Storage Table Data Contributor role.

I’m not sure what this error means. Has anyone received this error previously?

Thanks
