Amazon S3 Zipping tool (aws-s3-zipper) Forked from https://github.com/DanielHindi/aws-s3-zipper

What does it do?

1. Zips S3 files

Takes an amazon s3 bucket folder and zips it to a:

• Stream
• Local File
• Local File Fragments (zip multiple files broken up by max number of files or size)
• S3 File (ie uploads the zip back to s3)
• S3 File Fragments (upload multiple zip files broken up by max number of files or size)

2. Differential zipping

It also allows you to do differential zips. You can save the key of the last file you zipped and then zip files that have been uploaded after the last zip.

3. Fragmented Zips

If a zip file has the potential of getting too big. You can provide limits to breakup the compression into multiple zip files. You can limit based on file count or total size (pre zip)

4. Filter Files to zip

You can filter out files you dont want zipped based on any criteria you need

How do i use it?

Setup

var S3Zipper = require ('aws-s3-zipper');

var config ={
    accessKeyId: "XXXX",
    secretAccessKey: "XXXX",
    region: "us-west-2",
    bucket: 'XXX'
};
var zipper = new S3Zipper(config);

Filter out Files

zipper.filterOutFiles= function(file){
    if(file.Key.indexOf('.tmp') >= 0) // filter out temp files
        return null;
    else
      return file;
};

Zip to local file

zipper.zipToFile ({
        s3FolderName: 'myBucketFolderName'
        , startKey: 'keyOfLastFileIZipped' // could keep null
        , zipFileName: './myLocalFile.zip'
        , recursive: true
    }
    ,function(err,result){
        if(err)
            console.error(err);
        else{
            var lastFile = result.zippedFiles[result.zippedFiles.length-1];
            if(lastFile)
                console.log('last key ', lastFile.Key); // next time start from here
        }
});

Pipe zip data to stream (using Express.js)

app.all('/', function (request, response) {
    response.set('content-type', 'application/zip') // optional
    zipper.streamZipDataTo({
        pipe: response
        , folderName: 'myBucketFolderName'
        , startKey: 'keyOfLastFileIZipped' // could keep null
        , recursive, true
        }
        ,function (err, result) {
            if(err)
                console.error(err);
            else{
                console.log(result)
            }
        })
})

Zip fragments to local file system with the filename pattern with a maximum file count

zipper.zipToFileFragments ({
        s3FolderName:'myBucketFolderName'
        ,startKey: null
        ,zipFileName './myLocalFile.zip'
        ,maxFileCount: 5
        ,maxFileSize: 1024*1024
    }, function(err,results){
        if(err)
               console.error(err);
           else{
               if(results.length > 0) {
                   var result = results[results.length - 1];
                   var lastFile = result.zippedFiles[result.zippedFiles.length - 1];
                   if (lastFile)
                       console.log('last key ', lastFile.Key); // next time start from here
               }
           }
   });

Zip to S3 file

/// if no path is given to S3 zip file then it will be placed in the same folder
zipper.zipToS3File ({
        s3FolderName: 'myBucketFolderName'
        , startKey: 'keyOfLastFileIZipped' // optional
        , s3ZipFileName: 'myS3File.zip'
    },function(err,result){
        if(err)
            console.error(err);
        else{
            var lastFile = result.zippedFiles[result.zippedFiles.length-1];
            if(lastFile)
                console.log('last key ', lastFile.Key); // next time start from here
        }
});

Zip fragments to S3

zipper.zipToS3FileFragments({
    s3FolderName: 'myBucketFolderName'
    , startKey: 'keyOfLastFileIZipped' // optional
    , s3ZipFileName: 'myS3File.zip'
    , maxFileCount: 5
    , maxFileSize: 1024*1024
    },function(err, results){
    if(err)
        console.error(err);
    else    if(results.length > 0) {
        var result = results[results.length - 1];
        var lastFile = result.zippedFiles[result.zippedFiles.length - 1];
        if (lastFile)
            console.log('last key ', lastFile.Key); // next time start from here
    }

});
