+### Introduction

-## Contribution
+`@push.rocks/smartbucket` provides a robust set of features to manage cloud storage operations in a cloud-agnostic manner. By leveraging this library, you can seamlessly interact with object storage services like AWS S3, without being tied to any vendor-specific implementations. This library not only abstracts basic file operations but also integrates advanced capabilities such as metadata management, data streaming, file locking, and bucket policies, all through a simplified API.

-We are always happy for code contributions. If you are not the code contributing type that is ok. Still, maintaining Open Source repositories takes considerable time and thought. If you like the quality of what we do and our modules are useful to you we would appreciate a little monthly contribution: You can [contribute one time](https://lossless.link/contribute-onetime) or [contribute monthly](https://lossless.link/contribute). :)

+### Setting Up

-[![repo-footer](https://lossless.gitlab.io/publicrelations/repofooter.svg)](https://maintainedby.lossless.com)
+Begin by importing the necessary classes from the `@push.rocks/smartbucket` package into your TypeScript file. Create an instance of `SmartBucket` with your storage configuration:
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  SmartBucket,
+  Bucket,
+  Directory,
+  File
+} from '@push.rocks/smartbucket';
+
+const mySmartBucket = new SmartBucket({
+  accessKey: "yourAccessKey",
+  accessSecret: "yourSecretKey",
+  endpoint: "yourEndpointURL",
+  port: 443,
+  useSsl: true
+});
+```
+
+Replace `"yourAccessKey"`, `"yourSecretKey"`, and `"yourEndpointURL"` with actual data specific to your cloud provider.
+
+### Working with Buckets
+
+#### Creating a New Bucket
+
+Creating a bucket involves invoking the `createBucket` method. Note that bucket names are unique and follow the rules of the cloud provider:
+
+```typescript
+async function createBucket(bucketName: string) {
+  try {
+    const newBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.createBucket(bucketName);
+    console.log(`Bucket ${bucketName} created successfully.`);
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error("Error creating bucket:", error);
+  }
+}
+
+createBucket("myNewBucket");
+```
+
+#### Listing Buckets
+
+While the library uses cloud-provider capabilities like AWS SDK to list existing buckets, `smartbucket` is aimed at simplifying content management within them.
+
+#### Deleting Buckets
+
+To delete a bucket, simply call the `removeBucket` function:
+
+```typescript
+async function deleteBucket(bucketName: string) {
+  try {
+    await mySmartBucket.removeBucket(bucketName);
+    console.log(`Bucket ${bucketName} deleted successfully.`);
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error("Error deleting bucket:", error);
+  }
+}
+
+deleteBucket("anotherBucketName");
+```
+
+### File Operations in Buckets
+
+SmartBucket offers a unified API to execute file-based operations efficiently.
+
+#### Uploading Files
+
+Upload a file using the `fastPut` method, specifying the bucket name, file path, and content:
+
+```typescript
+async function uploadFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string, fileContent: Buffer | string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  await bucket.fastPut({ path: filePath, contents: fileContent });
+  console.log(`File uploaded to ${filePath}`);
+}
+
+uploadFile("myBucket", "example.txt", "This is a sample file content.");
+```
+
+#### Downloading Files
+
+Download files using `fastGet`. It retrieves the file content as a buffer:
+
+```typescript
+async function downloadFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const content: Buffer = await bucket.fastGet({ path: filePath });
+  console.log("Downloaded content:", content.toString());
+}
+
+downloadFile("myBucket", "example.txt");
+```
+
+#### Streaming Files
+
+For large-scale applications, stream files without loading them fully into memory:
+
+```typescript
+async function streamFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const stream = await bucket.fastGetStream({ path: filePath }, "nodestream");
+  stream.on('data', chunk => console.log("Chunk:", chunk.toString()));
+  stream.on('end', () => console.log("Download completed."));
+}
+
+streamFile("myBucket", "largefile.txt");
+```
+
+#### Deleting Files
+
+Delete files with precision using `fastRemove`:
+
+```typescript
+async function deleteFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  await bucket.fastRemove({ path: filePath });
+  console.log(`File ${filePath} deleted.`);
+}
+
+deleteFile("myBucket", "example.txt");
+```
+
+### Directory Operations
+
+Leverage directory functionalities to better organize and manage files within buckets.
+
+#### Listing Directories and Files
+
+Listing contents showcases a directory’s structure and file contents:
+
+```typescript
+async function listDirectory(bucketName: string, directoryPath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const baseDirectory: Directory = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
+  const targetDirectory = await baseDirectory.getSubDirectoryByName(directoryPath);
+
+  console.log('Directories:');
+  (await targetDirectory.listDirectories()).forEach(dir => console.log(dir.name));
+
+  console.log('Files:');
+  (await targetDirectory.listFiles()).forEach(file => console.log(file.name));
+}
+
+listDirectory("myBucket", "path/to/directory");
+```
+
+#### Managing Files in Directories
+
+Additional functionalities allow file management, inclusive of handling sub-directories:
+
+```typescript
+async function manageFilesInDirectory(bucketName: string, directoryPath: string, fileName: string, content: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const baseDirectory: Directory = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
+  const directory = await baseDirectory.getSubDirectoryByName(directoryPath) ?? baseDirectory;
+
+  await directory.fastPut({ path: fileName, contents: content });

+
+### Advanced Features
+
+The library’s advanced features streamline intricate cloud storage workflows.
+
+#### Bucket Policies
+
+The library offers tools for maintaining consistent bucket policies across storage providers, assisting in defining access roles and permissions.
+
+#### Metadata Management
+
+Easily manage and store metadata by using the `MetaData` utility:
+
+```typescript
+async function handleMetadata(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const meta = await bucket.fastStat({ path: filePath });
+  console.log("Metadata:", meta.Metadata);
+}
+
+handleMetadata("myBucket", "example.txt");
+```
+
+#### File Locking
+
+Prevent accidental writes by locking files:
+
+```typescript
+async function lockFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const file: File = await bucket.getBaseDirectory().getFileStrict({ path: filePath });
+  await file.lock({ timeoutMillis: 600000 }); // Lock for 10 minutes
+  console.log(`File ${filePath} locked.`);
+}
+
+lockFile("myBucket", "example.txt");
+```
+
+#### Trash Management
+
+SmartBucket enables a safe deletion mode where files can be moved to a recycling bin, allowing for restoration:
+
+```typescript
+async function trashAndRestoreFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const file: File = await bucket.getBaseDirectory().getFileStrict({ path: filePath });
+
+  // Move the file to trash
+  await file.delete({ mode: 'trash' });
+  console.log(`File ${filePath} moved to trash.`);
+
+  // Retrieve the file from the trash
+  const trashFile = await bucket.getTrash().getTrashedFileByOriginalName({ path: filePath });
+  await trashFile.restore();
+  console.log(`File ${filePath} restored from trash.`);
+}
+
+trashAndRestoreFile("myBucket", "example.txt");
+```
+
+### Cloud Agnosticism
+
+`@push.rocks/smartbucket` supports a multitude of cloud providers, enhancing flexibility in adopting different cloud strategies without the need for extensive code rewrite. It offers a uniform interface allowing to perform operations seamlessly between different storage solutions such as AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and more. This aspect empowers organizations to align their storage decisions with business needs rather than technical constraints.
+
+By following this guide, you should be well-equipped to handle cloud storage operations using the `@push.rocks/smartbucket` library. Diligently constructed code examples elucidate the extensive functionalities offered by the library, aligned with best practices in cloud storage. For a deeper dive into any specific feature, refer to the comprehensive documentation provided with the library and the official documentation of the cloud providers you are integrating with.
