@push.rocks/smarts3

create an s3 endpoint that maps to a local directory

Install

To use @push.rocks/smarts3 in your project, you'll need to install it via npm. You can do so by running the following command in your project's root directory:

npm install @push.rocks/smarts3 --save

This will add @push.rocks/smarts3 as a dependency to your project's package.json file and download the package into the node_modules directory.

Usage

@push.rocks/smarts3 is designed to make it easy for developers to create an S3 compatible endpoint that maps to a local directory. This can be particularly useful for local development and testing, allowing you to mimic S3's functionality without the need for an actual S3 bucket.

Below, we'll go through how to get started, set up an S3 server, manage buckets, and perform common operations.

Setting up the S3 Server

First, let's see how to set up and start an S3 server instance.

import { Smarts3 } from '@push.rocks/smarts3';

async function startServer() {
  // Creating and starting the Smarts3 instance
  const smarts3Instance = await Smarts3.createAndStart({
    port: 3000, // optional, defaults to 3000
    cleanSlate: true // optional, if set to true, it will empty the directory on start
  });

  console.log('S3 server is up and running...');
  return smarts3Instance;
}

startServer().catch(console.error);

Creating a Bucket

With the server up and running, you can now create buckets.

async function createBucket(smarts3Instance: Smarts3) {
  // Creating a new bucket
  const bucket = await smarts3Instance.createBucket('my-awesome-bucket');
  console.log(`Bucket created: ${bucket.name}`);
}

// Assuming startServer() has been called and smarts3Instance has been received
createBucket(smarts3Instance).catch(console.error);

Accessing Buckets and Uploading Files

To perform actions like uploading files, you will need to work with the underlying SmartBucket module. The SmartBucket module is part of the @push.rocks ecosystem and integrated into smarts3 for easy bucket and file management.

import { SmartBucket, Bucket } from '@pushrocks/smartbucket';

async function uploadFile(smarts3Instance: Smarts3) {
  // Getting the S3 descriptor to configure SmartBucket
  const s3Descriptor = await smarts3Instance.getS3Descriptor();
  
  const smartbucketInstance = new SmartBucket(s3Descriptor);
  const bucket: Bucket = await smartbucketInstance.getBucket('my-awesome-bucket');

  // Now let's upload a file to the bucket
  const baseDirectory = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
  await baseDirectory.fastStore('hello.txt', 'Hello, world!');

  console.log('File uploaded successfully.');
}

uploadFile(smarts3Instance).catch(console.error);

Stopping the Server

Finally, when you are done, you can stop the Smarts3 server as follows:

async function stopServer(smarts3Instance: Smarts3) {
  await smarts3Instance.stop();
  console.log('S3 server has been stopped.');
}

stopServer(smarts3Instance).catch(console.error);

Complete Integration

Integrating @push.rocks/smarts3 into your development workflow offers a seamless way to mimic Amazon S3 locally. By creating an S3-compatible endpoint that maps to a local directory, you can develop and test applications that interact with S3 without incurring any cost or requiring internet connectivity. Thanks to its API, @push.rocks/smarts3 makes it easy to programmatically manage your local S3 server, create and delete buckets, and upload or download files, ensuring that your applications can be designed with cloud scalability in mind, right from the start.
