Upload Example

In the example below you can see how to create an instance of SpheronClient and how to upload a file/directory to the specified protocol.

import { SpheronClient, ProtocolEnum } from "@spheron/storage";

const client = new SpheronClient({ token });
let currentlyUploaded = 0;
const { uploadId, bucketId, protocolLink, dynamicLinks, cid } =
  await client.upload(filePath, {
    protocol: ProtocolEnum.IPFS,
    name,
    onUploadInitiated: (uploadId) => {
      console.log(`Upload with id ${uploadId} started...`);
    },
    onChunkUploaded: (uploadedSize, totalSize) => {
      currentlyUploaded += uploadedSize;
      console.log(`Uploaded ${currentlyUploaded} of ${totalSize} Bytes.`);
    },
  });

• Function upload has two parameters client.upload(filePath, configuration);
  • filePath - the path to the file/directory that will be uploaded
  • configuration - an object with parameters:
    • configuration.name - represents the name of the bucket on which you are uploading the data.
    • configuration.protocol - a protocol on which the data will be uploaded. The supported protocols are [ ARWEAVE, IPFS, FILECOIN].
    • configuration.onUploadInitiated - optional - callback function (uploadId: string) => void. The function will be called once, when the upload is initiated, right before the data is uploaded. The function will be called with one parameter, uploadId, which represents the id of the started upload.
    • configuration.onChunkUploaded - optional - callback function (uploadedSize: number, totalSize: number) => void. The function will be called multiple times, depending on the upload size. The function will be called each time a chunk is uploaded, with two parameters. the first one uploadedSize represents the size in Bytes for the uploaded chunk. The totalSize represents the total size of the upload in Bytes.
  • The response of the upload function is an object with parameters:
    • uploadId - the id of the upload
    • bucketId - the id of the bucket
    • protocolLink - is the protocol link of the upload
    • dynamicLinks - are domains that you have setup for your bucket. When you upload new data to the same bucket, the domains will point to the new uploaded data.
    • cid - the CID of the uploaded data. Only exists for IPFS and Filecoin protocols.
