Multer S3 Extended

A fork of anacronw/multer-s3 adding additional features. Streaming multer storage engine for AWS S3 re-written in Typescript.

AWS SDK Versions

4.0.0 releases of multer-s3 use the AWS JavaScript SDK v3. Specifically, it uses the Upload class from @aws-sdk/lib-storage which in turn calls the modular S3Client.

Installation

npm install --save multer-s3-extended

Usage

const { S3Client } = require("@aws-sdk/client-s3");
const express = require("express");
const multer = require("multer");
const multerS3 = require("multer-s3");

const app = express();

const s3 = new S3Client();

const upload = multer({
  storage: multerS3({
    s3: s3,
    bucket: "some-bucket",
    metadata: function (req, file, cb) {
      cb(null, { fieldName: file.fieldname });
    },
    key: function (req, file, cb) {
      cb(null, Date.now().toString());
    },
  }),
});

app.post("/upload", upload.array("photos", 3), function (req, res, next) {
  res.send("Successfully uploaded " + req.files.length + " files!");
});

File information

Each file contains the following information exposed by multer-s3:

| Key | Description | Note | | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | size | Size of the file in bytes | | bucket | The bucket used to store the file | S3Storage | | key | The name of the file | S3Storage | | acl | Access control for the file | S3Storage | | contentType | The mimetype used to upload the file | S3Storage | | metadata | The metadata object to be sent to S3 | S3Storage | | location | The S3 url to access the file | S3Storage | | etag | The etagof the uploaded file in S3 | S3Storage | | contentDisposition | The contentDisposition used to upload the file | S3Storage | | storageClass | The storageClass to be used for the uploaded file in S3 | S3Storage | | versionId | The versionId is an optional param returned by S3 for versioned buckets. | S3Storage | | contentEncoding | The contentEncoding used to upload the file | S3Storage |

Setting ACL

ACL values can be set by passing an optional acl parameter into the multerS3 object.

var upload = multer({
  storage: multerS3({
    s3: s3,
    bucket: "some-bucket",
    acl: "public-read",
    key: function (req, file, cb) {
      cb(null, Date.now().toString());
    },
  }),
});

Available options for canned ACL.

| ACL Option | Permissions added to ACL | | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | private | Owner gets FULL_CONTROL. No one else has access rights (default). | | public-read | Owner gets FULL_CONTROL. The AllUsers group gets READ access. | | public-read-write | Owner gets FULL_CONTROL. The AllUsers group gets READ and WRITE access. Granting this on a bucket is generally not recommended. | | aws-exec-read | Owner gets FULL_CONTROL. Amazon EC2 gets READ access to GET an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) bundle from Amazon S3. | | authenticated-read | Owner gets FULL_CONTROL. The AuthenticatedUsers group gets READ access. | | bucket-owner-read | Object owner gets FULL_CONTROL. Bucket owner gets READ access. If you specify this canned ACL when creating a bucket, Amazon S3 ignores it. | | bucket-owner-full-control | Both the object owner and the bucket owner get FULL_CONTROL over the object. If you specify this canned ACL when creating a bucket, Amazon S3 ignores it. | | log-delivery-write | The LogDelivery group gets WRITE and READ_ACP permissions on the bucket. For more information on logs. |

Setting Metadata

The metadata option is a callback that accepts the request and file, and returns a metadata object to be saved to S3.

Here is an example that stores all fields in the request body as metadata, and uses an id param as the key:

var opts = {
  s3: s3,
  bucket: config.originalsBucket,
  metadata: function (req, file, cb) {
    cb(null, Object.assign({}, req.body));
  },
  key: function (req, file, cb) {
    cb(null, req.params.id + ".jpg");
  },
};

Setting Cache-Control header

The optional cacheControl option sets the Cache-Control HTTP header that will be sent if you're serving the files directly from S3. You can pass either a string or a function that returns a string.

Here is an example that will tell browsers and CDNs to cache the file for one year:

var upload = multer({
  storage: multerS3({
    s3: s3,
    bucket: "some-bucket",
    cacheControl: "max-age=31536000",
    key: function (req, file, cb) {
      cb(null, Date.now().toString());
    },
  }),
});

Setting Custom Content-Type

The optional contentType option can be used to set Content/mime type of the file. By default the content type is set to application/octet-stream. If you want multer-s3 to automatically find the content-type of the file, use the multerS3.AUTO_CONTENT_TYPE constant. Here is an example that will detect the content type of the file being uploaded.

var upload = multer({
  storage: multerS3({
    s3: s3,
    bucket: "some-bucket",
    contentType: multerS3.AUTO_CONTENT_TYPE,
    key: function (req, file, cb) {
      cb(null, Date.now().toString());
    },
  }),
});

You may also use a function as the contentType, which should be of the form function(req, file, cb).

Setting StorageClass

storageClass values can be set by passing an optional storageClass parameter into the multerS3 object.

var upload = multer({
  storage: multerS3({
    s3: s3,
    bucket: "some-bucket",
    acl: "public-read",
    storageClass: "REDUCED_REDUNDANCY",
    key: function (req, file, cb) {
      cb(null, Date.now().toString());
    },
  }),
});

Setting Content-Disposition

The optional contentDisposition option can be used to set the Content-Disposition header for the uploaded file. By default, the contentDisposition isn't forwarded. As an example below, using the value attachment forces the browser to download the uploaded file instead of trying to open it.

var upload = multer({
  storage: multerS3({
    s3: s3,
    bucket: "some-bucket",
    acl: "public-read",
    contentDisposition: "attachment",
    key: function (req, file, cb) {
      cb(null, Date.now().toString());
    },
  }),
});

Using Server-Side Encryption

An overview of S3's server-side encryption can be found in the [S3 Docs] (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/serv-side-encryption.html); be advised that customer-managed keys (SSE-C) is not implemented at this time.

You may use the S3 server-side encryption functionality via the optional serverSideEncryption and sseKmsKeyId parameters. Full documentation of these parameters in relation to the S3 API can be found [here] (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#upload-property) and [here] (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingServerSideEncryption.html).

serverSideEncryption has two valid values: 'AES256' and 'aws:kms'. 'AES256' utilizes the S3-managed key system, while 'aws:kms' utilizes the AWS KMS system and accepts the optional sseKmsKeyId parameter to specify the key ID of the key you wish to use. Leaving sseKmsKeyId blank when 'aws:kms' is specified will use the default KMS key. Note: You must instantiate the S3 instance with signatureVersion: 'v4' in order to use KMS-managed keys [[Docs]] (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingAWSSDK.html#specify-signature-version), and the specified key must be in the same AWS region as the S3 bucket used.

var upload = multer({
  storage: multerS3({
    s3: s3,
    bucket: "some-bucket",
    acl: "authenticated-read",
    contentDisposition: "attachment",
    serverSideEncryption: "AES256",
    key: function (req, file, cb) {
      cb(null, Date.now().toString());
    },
  }),
});

Setting Content-Encoding

The optional contentEncoding option can be used to set the Content-Encoding header for the uploaded file. By default, the contentEncoding isn't forwarded. As an example below, using the value gzip, a file can be uploaded as a gzip file - and when it is downloaded, the browser will uncompress it automatically.

var upload = multer({
  storage: multerS3({
    s3: s3,
    bucket: "some-bucket",
    acl: "public-read",
    contentEncoding: "gzip",
    key: function (req, file, cb) {
      cb(null, Date.now().toString());
    },
  }),
});

You may also use a function as the contentEncoding, which should be of the form function(req, file, cb).

Testing

The tests mock all access to S3 and can be run completely offline.
