// Connect to your storage
const storage = new SmartBucket({
  accessKey: 'your-access-key',
  accessSecret: 'your-secret-key',
  endpoint: 's3.amazonaws.com',
  port: 443,
  useSsl: true
});

// Get or create a bucket
const bucket = await storage.getBucketByName('my-app-data');

// Upload a file
await bucket.fastPut({
  path: 'users/profile.json',
  contents: JSON.stringify({ name: 'Alice', role: 'admin' })
});

// Download it back
const data = await bucket.fastGet({ path: 'users/profile.json' });
console.log('📄', JSON.parse(data.toString()));

// List files efficiently (even with millions of objects!)
for await (const key of bucket.listAllObjects('users/')) {
  console.log('🔍 Found:', key);
}

// Watch for changes in real-time
const watcher = bucket.createWatcher({ prefix: 'uploads/', pollIntervalMs: 3000 });
watcher.changeSubject.subscribe((change) => {
  console.log('🔔 Change detected:', change.type, change.key);
});
await watcher.start();

### 🏁 Getting Started

First, set up your storage connection:

```typescript
import { SmartBucket } from '@push.rocks/smartbucket';

// Initialize with your cloud storage credentials
const smartBucket = new SmartBucket({
  accessKey: 'your-access-key',
  accessSecret: 'your-secret-key',
  endpoint: 's3.amazonaws.com', // Or your provider's endpoint
  port: 443,
  useSsl: true,
  region: 'us-east-1' // Optional, defaults to 'us-east-1'
});
```

**For MinIO or self-hosted S3:**
```typescript
const smartBucket = new SmartBucket({
  accessKey: 'minioadmin',
  accessSecret: 'minioadmin',
  endpoint: 'localhost',
  port: 9000,
  useSsl: false // MinIO often runs without SSL locally
});
```

### 🗂️ Working with Buckets

#### Creating Buckets

```typescript
// Create a new bucket
const myBucket = await smartBucket.createBucket('my-awesome-bucket');
console.log(`✅ Bucket created: ${myBucket.name}`);
```

#### Getting Existing Buckets

```typescript
// Get a bucket reference (throws if not found - strict by default!)
const existingBucket = await smartBucket.getBucketByName('existing-bucket');

// Check first, then get (non-throwing approach)
if (await smartBucket.bucketExists('maybe-exists')) {
  const bucket = await smartBucket.getBucketByName('maybe-exists');
  console.log('✅ Found bucket:', bucket.name);
}
```

#### Removing Buckets

```typescript
// Delete a bucket (must be empty)
await smartBucket.removeBucket('old-bucket');
console.log('🗑️ Bucket removed');
```

### 📁 File Operations

#### Upload Files

```typescript
const bucket = await smartBucket.getBucketByName('my-bucket');

// Simple file upload (returns File object)
const file = await bucket.fastPut({
  path: 'documents/report.pdf',
  contents: Buffer.from('Your file content here')
});
console.log('✅ Uploaded:', file.getBasePath());

// Upload with string content
await bucket.fastPut({
  path: 'notes/todo.txt',
  contents: 'Buy milk\nCall mom\nRule the world'
});

// Upload with overwrite control
const uploadedFile = await bucket.fastPut({
  path: 'images/logo.png',
  contents: imageBuffer,
  overwrite: true // Set to true to replace existing files
});

// Error handling: fastPut throws if file exists and overwrite is false
try {
  await bucket.fastPut({
    path: 'existing-file.txt',
    contents: 'new content'
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.error('❌ Upload failed:', error.message);
  // Error: Object already exists at path 'existing-file.txt' in bucket 'my-bucket'.
  // Set overwrite:true to replace it.
}
```

#### Download Files

```typescript
// Get file as Buffer
const fileContent = await bucket.fastGet({
  path: 'documents/report.pdf'
});
console.log(`📄 File size: ${fileContent.length} bytes`);

// Get file as string
const textContent = fileContent.toString('utf-8');

// Parse JSON files directly
const jsonData = JSON.parse(fileContent.toString());
```

#### Check File Existence

```typescript
const exists = await bucket.fastExists({
  path: 'documents/report.pdf'
});
console.log(`File exists: ${exists ? '✅' : '❌'}`);
```

#### Delete Files

```typescript
// Permanent deletion
await bucket.fastRemove({
  path: 'old-file.txt'
});
console.log('🗑️ File deleted permanently');
```

#### Copy & Move Files

```typescript
// Copy file within bucket
await bucket.fastCopy({
  sourcePath: 'original/file.txt',
  destinationPath: 'backup/file-copy.txt'
});
console.log('📋 File copied');

// Move file (copy + delete original)
await bucket.fastMove({
  sourcePath: 'temp/draft.txt',
  destinationPath: 'final/document.txt'
});
console.log('📦 File moved');

// Copy to different bucket
const targetBucket = await smartBucket.getBucketByName('backup-bucket');
await bucket.fastCopy({
  sourcePath: 'important/data.json',
  destinationPath: 'archived/data.json',
  targetBucket: targetBucket
});
```

### 📋 Memory-Efficient Listing

SmartBucket provides three powerful patterns for listing objects, optimized for handling **millions of files** efficiently:

#### Async Generators (Recommended) ⭐

Memory-efficient streaming using native JavaScript async iteration:

```typescript
// List all objects with prefix - streams one at a time!
for await (const key of bucket.listAllObjects('documents/')) {
  console.log(`📄 Found: ${key}`);

  // Process each file individually (memory efficient!)
  const content = await bucket.fastGet({ path: key });
  processFile(content);

  // Early termination support
  if (shouldStop()) break;
}

// List all objects (no prefix)
const allKeys: string[] = [];
for await (const key of bucket.listAllObjects()) {
  allKeys.push(key);
}

// Find objects matching glob patterns
for await (const key of bucket.findByGlob('**/*.json')) {
  console.log(`📦 JSON file: ${key}`);
}

// Complex glob patterns
for await (const key of bucket.findByGlob('npm/packages/*/index.json')) {
  // Matches: npm/packages/foo/index.json, npm/packages/bar/index.json
  console.log(`📦 Package index: ${key}`);
}

// More glob examples
for await (const key of bucket.findByGlob('logs/**/*.log')) {
  console.log('📋 Log file:', key);
}

for await (const key of bucket.findByGlob('images/*.{jpg,png,gif}')) {
  console.log('🖼️  Image:', key);
}
```

**Why use async generators?**
- ✅ Processes one item at a time (constant memory usage)
- ✅ Supports early termination with `break`
- ✅ Native JavaScript - no dependencies
- ✅ Perfect for large buckets with millions of objects
- ✅ Works seamlessly with `for await...of` loops

#### RxJS Observables

Perfect for reactive pipelines and complex data transformations:

```typescript
import { filter, take, map } from 'rxjs/operators';

// Stream keys as Observable with powerful operators
bucket.listAllObjectsObservable('logs/')
  .pipe(
    filter(key => key.endsWith('.log')),
    take(100),
    map(key => ({ key, timestamp: Date.now() }))
  )
  .subscribe({
    next: (item) => console.log(`📋 Log file: ${item.key}`),
    error: (err) => console.error('❌ Error:', err),
    complete: () => console.log('✅ Listing complete')
  });

// Simple subscription without operators
bucket.listAllObjectsObservable('data/')
  .subscribe({
    next: (key) => processKey(key),
    complete: () => console.log('✅ Done')
  });

// Combine with other observables
import { merge } from 'rxjs';

const logs$ = bucket.listAllObjectsObservable('logs/');
const backups$ = bucket.listAllObjectsObservable('backups/');

merge(logs$, backups$)
  .pipe(filter(key => key.includes('2024')))
  .subscribe(key => console.log('📅 2024 file:', key));
```

**Why use observables?**
- ✅ Rich operator ecosystem (filter, map, debounce, etc.)
- ✅ Composable with other RxJS streams
- ✅ Perfect for reactive architectures
- ✅ Great for complex transformations

#### Cursor Pattern

Explicit pagination control for UI and resumable operations:

```typescript
// Create cursor with custom page size
const cursor = bucket.createCursor('uploads/', { pageSize: 100 });

// Fetch pages manually
while (cursor.hasMore()) {
  const page = await cursor.next();
  console.log(`📄 Page has ${page.keys.length} items`);

  for (const key of page.keys) {
    console.log(`  - ${key}`);
  }

  if (page.done) {
    console.log('✅ Reached end');
    break;
  }
}

// Save and restore cursor state (perfect for resumable operations!)
const token = cursor.getToken();
// Store token in database or session...

// ... later, in a different request ...
const newCursor = bucket.createCursor('uploads/', { pageSize: 100 });
newCursor.setToken(token); // Resume from saved position!
const nextPage = await newCursor.next();

// Reset cursor to start over
cursor.reset();
const firstPage = await cursor.next(); // Back to the beginning
```

**Why use cursors?**
- ✅ Perfect for UI pagination (prev/next buttons)
- ✅ Save/restore state for resumable operations
- ✅ Explicit control over page fetching
- ✅ Great for implementing "Load More" buttons

#### Convenience Methods

```typescript
// Collect all keys into array (⚠️ WARNING: loads everything into memory!)
const allKeys = await bucket.listAllObjectsArray('images/');
console.log(`📦 Found ${allKeys.length} images`);

// Only use for small result sets
const smallList = await bucket.listAllObjectsArray('config/');
if (smallList.length < 100) {
  // Safe to process in memory
  smallList.forEach(key => console.log(key));
}
```

**Performance Comparison:**

| Method | Memory Usage | Best For | Supports Early Exit |
|--------|-------------|----------|-------------------|
| **Async Generator** | O(1) - constant | Most use cases, large datasets | ✅ Yes |
| **Observable** | O(1) - constant | Reactive pipelines, RxJS apps | ✅ Yes |
| **Cursor** | O(pageSize) | UI pagination, resumable ops | ✅ Yes |
| **Array** | O(n) - grows with results | Small datasets (<10k items) | ❌ No |

### 👀 Bucket Watching

Monitor your S3 bucket for changes in real-time with the powerful `BucketWatcher`:

```typescript
// Create a watcher for a specific prefix
const watcher = bucket.createWatcher({
  prefix: 'uploads/',        // Watch files with this prefix
  pollIntervalMs: 3000,      // Check every 3 seconds
  includeInitial: false,     // Don't emit existing files on start
});

// RxJS Observable pattern (recommended for reactive apps)
watcher.changeSubject.subscribe((change) => {
  if (change.type === 'add') {
    console.log('📥 New file:', change.key);
  } else if (change.type === 'modify') {
    console.log('✏️  Modified:', change.key);
  } else if (change.type === 'delete') {
    console.log('🗑️  Deleted:', change.key);
  }
});

// EventEmitter pattern (classic Node.js style)
watcher.on('change', (change) => {
  console.log(`🔔 ${change.type}: ${change.key}`);
});

watcher.on('error', (err) => {
  console.error('❌ Watcher error:', err);
});

// Start watching
await watcher.start();

// Wait until watcher is ready (initial state built)
await watcher.readyDeferred.promise;
console.log('👀 Watcher is now monitoring the bucket');

// ... your application runs ...

// Stop watching when done
await watcher.stop();
// Or use the alias:
await watcher.close();
```

#### Watcher Options

```typescript
interface IBucketWatcherOptions {
  prefix?: string;           // Filter objects by prefix (default: '' = all)
  pollIntervalMs?: number;   // Polling interval in ms (default: 5000)
  bufferTimeMs?: number;     // Buffer events before emitting (for batching)
  includeInitial?: boolean;  // Emit existing files as 'add' on start (default: false)
  pageSize?: number;         // Objects per page when listing (default: 1000)
}
```

#### Buffered Events

For high-frequency change environments, buffer events to reduce processing overhead:

```typescript
const watcher = bucket.createWatcher({
  prefix: 'high-traffic/',
  pollIntervalMs: 1000,
  bufferTimeMs: 2000, // Collect events for 2 seconds before emitting
});

// Receive batched events as arrays
watcher.changeSubject.subscribe((changes) => {
  if (Array.isArray(changes)) {
    console.log(`📦 Batch of ${changes.length} changes:`);
    changes.forEach(c => console.log(`  - ${c.type}: ${c.key}`));
  }
});

await watcher.start();
```

#### Change Event Structure

```typescript
interface IS3ChangeEvent {
  type: 'add' | 'modify' | 'delete';
  key: string;           // Object key (path)
  bucket: string;        // Bucket name
  size?: number;         // File size (not present for deletes)
  etag?: string;         // ETag hash (not present for deletes)
  lastModified?: Date;   // Last modified date (not present for deletes)
}
```

#### Watch Use Cases

- 🔄 **Sync systems** - Detect changes to trigger synchronization
- 📊 **Analytics** - Track file uploads/modifications in real-time
- 🔔 **Notifications** - Alert users when their files are ready
- 🔄 **Processing pipelines** - Trigger workflows on new file uploads
- 🗄️ **Backup systems** - Detect changes for incremental backups
- 📝 **Audit logs** - Track all bucket activity

### 📂 Directory Management

SmartBucket provides powerful directory-like operations for organizing your files:

```typescript
// Get base directory
const baseDir = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();

// List directories and files
const directories = await baseDir.listDirectories();
const files = await baseDir.listFiles();

console.log(`📁 Found ${directories.length} directories`);
console.log(`📄 Found ${files.length} files`);

// Navigate subdirectories
const subDir = await baseDir.getSubDirectoryByName('projects/2024');

// Create nested file
await subDir.fastPut({
  path: 'report.pdf',
  contents: reportBuffer
});

// Get directory tree structure
const tree = await subDir.getTreeArray();
console.log('🌳 Directory tree:', tree);

// Get directory path
console.log('📂 Base path:', subDir.getBasePath()); // "projects/2024/"

// Create empty file as placeholder
await subDir.createEmptyFile('placeholder.txt');

// Check existence
const fileExists = await subDir.fileExists({ path: 'report.pdf' });
const dirExists = await baseDir.directoryExists('projects');
```

### 🌊 Streaming Operations

Handle large files efficiently with streaming support:

#### Download Streams

```typescript
// Node.js stream (for file I/O, HTTP responses, etc.)
const nodeStream = await bucket.fastGetStream(
  { path: 'large-video.mp4' },
  'nodestream'
);

// Pipe to file
import * as fs from 'node:fs';
nodeStream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('local-video.mp4'));

// Pipe to HTTP response
app.get('/download', async (req, res) => {
  const stream = await bucket.fastGetStream(
    { path: 'file.pdf' },
    'nodestream'
  );
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/pdf');
  stream.pipe(res);
});

// Web stream (for modern browser/Deno environments)
const webStream = await bucket.fastGetStream(
  { path: 'large-file.zip' },
  'webstream'
);
```

#### Upload Streams

```typescript
import * as fs from 'node:fs';

// Stream upload from file
const readStream = fs.createReadStream('big-data.csv');
await bucket.fastPutStream({
  path: 'uploads/big-data.csv',
  readableStream: readStream,
  nativeMetadata: {
    'content-type': 'text/csv',
    'x-custom-header': 'my-value'
  }
});
console.log('✅ Large file uploaded via stream');
```

#### Reactive Streams with RxJS

```typescript
// Get file as ReplaySubject for reactive programming
const replaySubject = await bucket.fastGetReplaySubject({
  path: 'data/sensor-readings.json'
});

// Multiple subscribers can consume the same data
replaySubject.subscribe({
  next: (chunk) => processChunk(chunk),
  complete: () => console.log('✅ Stream complete')
});

replaySubject.subscribe({
  next: (chunk) => logChunk(chunk)
});
```

### 🔒 File Locking

Prevent concurrent modifications with built-in file locking:

```typescript
const baseDir = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
const file = await baseDir.getFile({ path: 'important-config.json' });

// Lock file for 10 minutes
await file.lock({ timeoutMillis: 600000 });
console.log('🔒 File locked');

// Try to modify locked file (will throw error)
try {
  await file.delete();
} catch (error) {
  console.log('❌ Cannot delete locked file');
}

// Check lock status via metadata
const metadata = await file.getMetaData();
const isLocked = await metadata.checkLocked();
console.log(`Lock status: ${isLocked ? '🔒 Locked' : '🔓 Unlocked'}`);

// Get lock info
const lockInfo = await metadata.getLockInfo();
console.log(`Lock expires: ${new Date(lockInfo.expires)}`);

// Unlock when done
await file.unlock();
console.log('🔓 File unlocked');

// Force unlock (even if locked by another process)
await file.unlock({ force: true });
```

**Lock use cases:**
- 🔄 Prevent concurrent writes during critical updates
- 🔐 Protect configuration files during deployment
- 🚦 Coordinate distributed workers
- 🛡️ Ensure data consistency

### 🏷️ Metadata Management

Attach and manage rich metadata for your files:

```typescript
const baseDir = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
const file = await baseDir.getFile({ path: 'document.pdf' });

// Get metadata handler
const metadata = await file.getMetaData();

// Store custom metadata (can be any JSON-serializable value)
await metadata.storeCustomMetaData({
  key: 'author',
  value: 'John Doe'
});

await metadata.storeCustomMetaData({
  key: 'tags',
  value: ['important', 'quarterly-report', '2024']
});

await metadata.storeCustomMetaData({
  key: 'workflow',
  value: { status: 'approved', approvedBy: 'jane@company.com' }
});

// Retrieve metadata
const author = await metadata.getCustomMetaData({ key: 'author' });
console.log(`📝 Author: ${author}`);

// Delete metadata
await metadata.deleteCustomMetaData({ key: 'workflow' });

// Check if file has any metadata
const hasMetadata = await file.hasMetaData();
console.log(`Has metadata: ${hasMetadata ? '✅' : '❌'}`);

// Get file type detection
const fileType = await metadata.getFileType({ useFileExtension: true });
console.log(`📄 MIME type: ${fileType?.mime}`);

// Get file type from magic bytes (more accurate)
const detectedType = await metadata.getFileType({ useMagicBytes: true });
console.log(`🔮 Detected type: ${detectedType?.mime}`);

// Get file size
const size = await metadata.getSizeInBytes();
console.log(`📊 Size: ${size} bytes`);
```

**Metadata use cases:**
- 👤 Track file ownership and authorship
- 🏷️ Add tags and categories for search
- 📊 Store processing status or workflow state
- 🔍 Enable rich querying and filtering
- 📝 Maintain audit trails

### 🗑️ Trash & Recovery

SmartBucket includes an intelligent trash system for safe file deletion and recovery:

```typescript
const baseDir = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
const file = await baseDir.getFile({ path: 'important-data.xlsx' });

// Move to trash instead of permanent deletion
await file.delete({ mode: 'trash' });
console.log('🗑️ File moved to trash (can be restored!)');

// Permanent deletion (use with caution!)
await file.delete({ mode: 'permanent' });
console.log('💀 File permanently deleted (cannot be recovered)');

// Access trash
const trash = await bucket.getTrash();
const trashDir = await trash.getTrashDir();
const trashedFiles = await trashDir.listFiles();
console.log(`📦 ${trashedFiles.length} files in trash`);

// Restore from trash
const trashedFile = await baseDir.getFile({
  path: 'important-data.xlsx',
  getFromTrash: true
});

await trashedFile.restore({ useOriginalPath: true });
console.log('♻️ File restored to original location');

// Or restore to a different location
await trashedFile.restore({
  toPath: 'recovered/important-data.xlsx'
});
console.log('♻️ File restored to new location');
```

**Trash features:**
- ♻️ Recover accidentally deleted files
- 🏷️ Preserves original path in metadata
- ⏰ Tracks deletion timestamp
- 🔍 List and inspect trashed files

### ⚡ Advanced Features

#### File Statistics

```typescript
// Get detailed file statistics
const stats = await bucket.fastStat({ path: 'document.pdf' });
console.log(`📊 Size: ${stats.ContentLength} bytes`);
console.log(`📅 Last modified: ${stats.LastModified}`);
console.log(`🏷️ ETag: ${stats.ETag}`);
console.log(`🗂️ Content type: ${stats.ContentType}`);
```

#### Magic Bytes Detection

Detect file types by examining the first bytes (useful for validation):

```typescript
// Read first bytes for file type detection
const magicBytes = await bucket.getMagicBytes({
  path: 'mystery-file',
  length: 16
});
console.log(`🔮 Magic bytes: ${magicBytes.toString('hex')}`);

// Or from a File object
const baseDir = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
const file = await baseDir.getFile({ path: 'image.jpg' });
const magic = await file.getMagicBytes({ length: 4 });

// Check file signatures
if (magic[0] === 0xFF && magic[1] === 0xD8) {
  console.log('📸 This is a JPEG image');
} else if (magic[0] === 0x89 && magic[1] === 0x50) {
  console.log('🖼️  This is a PNG image');
}
```

#### JSON Data Operations

```typescript
const baseDir = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
const file = await baseDir.getFile({ path: 'config.json' });

// Read JSON data
const config = await file.getJsonData();
console.log('⚙️ Config loaded:', config);

// Update JSON data
config.version = '2.0';
config.updated = new Date().toISOString();
config.features.push('newFeature');

await file.writeJsonData(config);
console.log('💾 Config updated');
```

#### Directory & File Type Detection

```typescript
// Check if path is a directory
const isDir = await bucket.isDirectory({ path: 'uploads/' });

// Check if path is a file
const isFile = await bucket.isFile({ path: 'uploads/document.pdf' });

console.log(`Is directory: ${isDir ? '📁' : '❌'}`);
console.log(`Is file: ${isFile ? '📄' : '❌'}`);
```

#### Clean Bucket Contents

```typescript
// Remove all files and directories (⚠️ use with caution!)
await bucket.cleanAllContents();
console.log('🧹 Bucket cleaned');
```

### 🧪 Testing

SmartBucket is thoroughly tested with 97 comprehensive tests covering all features:

```bash
# Run all tests
pnpm test

# Run specific test file
pnpm tstest test/test.watcher.node.ts --verbose

# Run tests with log file
pnpm test --logfile
```

### 🛡️ Error Handling Best Practices

SmartBucket uses a **strict-by-default** approach - methods throw errors instead of returning null:

```typescript
// ✅ Good: Check existence first
if (await bucket.fastExists({ path: 'file.txt' })) {
  const content = await bucket.fastGet({ path: 'file.txt' });
  process(content);
}

// ✅ Good: Try/catch for expected failures
try {
  const file = await bucket.fastGet({ path: 'might-not-exist.txt' });
  process(file);
} catch (error) {
  console.log('File not found, using default');
  useDefault();
}

// ✅ Good: Explicit overwrite control
try {
  await bucket.fastPut({
    path: 'existing-file.txt',
    contents: 'new data',
    overwrite: false // Explicitly fail if exists
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.log('File already exists');
}

// ❌ Bad: Assuming file exists without checking
const content = await bucket.fastGet({ path: 'file.txt' }); // May throw!
```

### 💡 Best Practices

1. **Always use strict mode** for critical operations to catch errors early
2. **Check existence first** with `fastExists()`, `bucketExists()`, etc. before operations
3. **Implement proper error handling** for network and permission issues
4. **Use streaming** for large files (>100MB) to optimize memory usage
5. **Leverage metadata** for organizing and searching files
6. **Enable trash mode** for important data to prevent accidental loss
7. **Lock files** during critical operations to prevent race conditions
8. **Use async generators** for listing large buckets to avoid memory issues
9. **Set explicit overwrite flags** to prevent accidental file overwrites
10. **Use the watcher** for real-time synchronization and event-driven architectures

### 📊 Performance Tips

- **Listing**: Use async generators or cursors for buckets with >10,000 objects
- **Uploads**: Use streams for files >100MB
- **Downloads**: Use streams for files you'll process incrementally
- **Metadata**: Cache metadata when reading frequently
- **Locking**: Keep lock durations as short as possible
- **Glob patterns**: Be specific to reduce objects scanned
- **Watching**: Use appropriate `pollIntervalMs` based on your change frequency
