Usage examples

Create a client

var s3BrowserDirectUpload = require('s3-browser-direct-upload');

var s3clientOptions = {
  accessKeyId: 'accessKeyId', // required
  secretAccessKey: 'secretAccessKey', // required
  region: 'eu-central-1', // required

Upload using s3client.uploadPostForm (Browser-based uploads using POST)

var uploadPostFormOptions = {
  key: 'filename.ext', // required
  bucket: 'bucketName', // required
  extension: 'ext', // optional (pass if You want to check with allowed extensions or set ContentType)
  acl: 'public-read', // optional, default: 'public-read'
  expires: new Date('2018-01-01'), // optional (date object with expiration date for urls), default: +60 minutes
  algorithm: 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256', // optional, default: 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256'
  region: 'eu-central-1', // optional, default: s3client.region
  conditionMatching: [
    {"success_action_redirect": "http://google.com"},
    {"x-amz-meta-metadatafield": ""},
    ["starts-with", "$key", "user/betty/"],
    ["condition", "key", "pattern"]
  ] // optional
};

s3client.uploadPostForm(uploadPostFormOptions, function(err, params){
  console.log(params); // params contain all the data required to build browser-based form for direct upload (check API Documentation)
});

Upload using s3client.upload (S3#upload)

var fs = require('fs');

var uploadOptions = {
  data: fs.createReadStream('/path/to/a/file'), // required
  key: 'filename.ext', // required
  bucket: 'bucketName', // required
  extension: 'ext', // optional (pass if You want to check with allowed extensions or set ContentType)
  acl: 'public-read' // optional
};

s3client.upload(uploadOptions, function(err, url) {
  console.log(url); // url to uploaded data
});

var uploadOptions = {
  key: 'filename.ext', // required
  bucket: 'bucketName', // required
  extension: 'ext', // optional (pass if You want to check with allowed extensions or set ContentType)
  acl: 'public-read', // optional
  expires: new Date('2018-01-01') // optional (date object with expiration date for urls)
