S3 plugins for Backstage

This repository contains a set of Backstage plugins for interacting with AWS S3 buckets.

The plugin provides:

• A backend plugin that exposes a bunch of endpoints that can be used by the frontend and also by end users.
• A common package containing several types shared by frontend and backend.
• A frontend page where the users can navigate through the different buckets and their objects. As well as previewing, downloading or getting object information.

Installation

Deploying new releases ( internal )

• After every change made in the plugins, execute yarn changeset and follow the steps.
• When everything is ready, execute locally yarn release to update all the plugin versions, update the CHANGELOG.md files & update the yarn.lock.
• Finally, run yarn publish-release to publish the packages to npm.

Development

It's also possible to test the s3-viewer plugin in an isolated mode. For that, you'll need to execute the following 2 commands:

    # From the root of the repository
    docker-compose -f demo/docker-compose.yaml up
    
    # Wait until the bucket is created and the files synced, then:
    yarn start

After executing these two commands, a new window in your browser will be opened and you will be able to use the s3-viewer frontend and backend plugins altogether. You should see a platform with a name test and a bucket inside called foobar. This bucket will contain the data from ./demo/examples inside.
