High Level Amazon S3 Client
Installation
npm install s3-client --save
Features
Automatically retry a configurable number of times when S3 returns an error. Includes logic to make multiple requests when there is a 1000 object limit. Ability to set a limit on the maximum parallelization of S3 requests.Retries get pushed to the end of the parallelization queue.
Ability to sync a dir to and from S3.
Progress reporting.
Supports files of any size (up to S3's maximum 5 TB object size limit).
Uploads large files quickly using parallel multipart uploads.
Uses heuristics to compute multipart ETags client-side to avoid uploadingor downloading files unnecessarily.
Automatically provide Content-Type for uploads based on file extension.
Support third-party S3-compatible platform services like CephSee also the companion CLI tool which is meant to be a drop-in replacement for s3cmd: s3-cli.
Synopsis
Create a client
var s3 = require('s3-client');
var client = s3.createClient({
maxAsyncS3: 20, // this is the default
s3RetryCount: 3, // this is the default
s3RetryDelay: 1000, // this is the default
multipartUploadThreshold: 20971520, // this is the default (20 MB)
multipartUploadSize: 15728640, // this is the default (15 MB)
s3Options: {
accessKeyId: "your s3 key",
secretAccessKey: "your s3 secret",
region: "your region",
// endpoint: 's3.yourdomain.com',
// sslEnabled: false
// any other options are passed to new AWS.S3()
// See: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/Config.html#constructor-property
},
});
Create a client from existing AWS.S3 object
var s3 = require('s3-client');
var awsS3Client = new AWS.S3(s3Options);
var options = {
s3Client: awsS3Client,
// more options available. See API docs below.
};
var client = s3.createClient(options);
Upload a file to S3
var params = {
localFile: "some/local/file",
s3Params: {
Bucket: "s3 bucket name",
Key: "some/remote/file",
// other options supported by putObject, except Body and ContentLength.
// See: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#putObject-property
},
};
var uploader = client.uploadFile(params);
uploader.on('error', function(err) {
console.error("unable to upload:", err.stack);
});
uploader.on('progress', function() {
console.log("progress", uploader.progressMd5Amount,
uploader.progressAmount, uploader.progressTotal);
});
uploader.on('end', function() {
console.log("done uploading");
});
Download a file from S3
var params = {
localFile: "some/local/file",
s3Params: {
Bucket: "s3 bucket name",
Key: "some/remote/file",
// other options supported by getObject
// See: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#getObject-property
},
};
var downloader = client.downloadFile(params);
downloader.on('error', function(err) {
console.error("unable to download:", err.stack);
});
downloader.on('progress', function() {
console.log("progress", downloader.progressAmount, downloader.progressTotal);
});
downloader.on('end', function() {
console.log("done downloading");
});
Sync a directory to S3
var params = {
localDir: "some/local/dir",
deleteRemoved: true, // default false, whether to remove s3 objects
// that have no corresponding local file.
s3Params: {
Bucket: "s3 bucket name",
Prefix: "some/remote/dir/",
// other options supported by putObject, except Body and ContentLength.
// See: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#putObject-property
},
};
var uploader = client.uploadDir(params);
uploader.on('error', function(err) {
console.error("unable to sync:", err.stack);
});
uploader.on('progress', function() {
console.log("progress", uploader.progressAmount, uploader.progressTotal);
});
uploader.on('end', function() {
console.log("done uploading");
});
Tips
Consider increasing the socket pool size in thehttp
and https
globalagents. This will improve bandwidth when using `uploadDir` and `downloadDir`
functions. For example:
```js
http.globalAgent.maxSockets = https.globalAgent.maxSockets = 20;
```

s3.AWS
This contains a reference to the aws-sdk module. It is a valid use case to use both this module and the lower level aws-sdk module in tandem.s3.createClient(options)
Creates an S3 client.options
:s3Client
- optional, an instance of AWS.S3
. Leave blank if you provide s3Options
.
s3Options
- optional. leave blank if you provide s3Client
.- See AWS SDK documentation for available options which are passed to `new AWS.S3()`:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/Config.html#constructor-property
maxAsyncS3
- maximum number of simultaneous requests this client willever have open to S3. defaults to `20`.
s3RetryCount
- how many times to try an S3 operation before giving up.Default 3.
s3RetryDelay
- how many milliseconds to wait before retrying an S3operation. Default 1000.
multipartUploadThreshold
- if a file is this many bytes or greater, itwill be uploaded via a multipart request. Default is 20MB. Minimum is 5MB.
Maximum is 5GB.
multipartUploadSize
- when uploading via multipart, this is the part size.The minimum size is 5MB. The maximum size is 5GB. Default is 15MB. Note that
S3 has a maximum of 10000 parts for a multipart upload, so if this value is
too small, it will be ignored in favor of the minimum necessary value
required to upload the file.
s3.getPublicUrl(bucket, key, bucketLocation)
bucket
S3 bucket
key
S3 key
bucketLocation
string, one of these:- "" (default) - US Standard
- "eu-west-1"
- "us-west-1"
- "us-west-2"
- "ap-southeast-1"
- "ap-southeast-2"
- "ap-northeast-1"
- "sa-east-1"
You can find out your bucket location programatically by using this API:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#getBucketLocation-propertyreturns a string which looks like this:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/key
or maybe this if you are not in US Standard:
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/bucket/key
s3.getPublicUrlHttp(bucket, key)

client.uploadFile(params)
See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#putObject-propertyparams
:s3Params
: params to pass to AWS SDK putObject
.
localFile
: path to the file on disk you want to upload to S3.
(optional) defaultContentType
: Unless you explicitly set the ContentType
parameter in `s3Params`, it will be automatically set for you based on the
file extension of `localFile`. If the extension is unrecognized,
`defaultContentType` will be used instead. Defaults to
`application/octet-stream`.
The difference between using AWS SDK putObject
and this one:This works with files, not streams or buffers. If the reported MD5 upon upload completion does not match, it retries. If the file size is large enough, uses multipart upload to upload parts in
parallel.
Retry based on the client's retry settings.
Progress reporting.
Sets the ContentType
based on file extension if you do not provide it.Returns an
EventEmitter
with these properties:progressMd5Amount
progressAmount
progressTotal
And these events:
'error' (err)
'end' (data)
- emitted when the file is uploaded successfully- `data` is the same object that you get from `putObject` in AWS SDK
'progress'
- emitted when progressMd5Amount
, progressAmount
, and`progressTotal` properties change. Note that it is possible for progress to
go backwards when an upload fails and must be retried.
'fileOpened' (fdSlicer)
- emitted when localFile
has been opened. The fileis opened with the [fd-slicer](https://github.com/andrewrk/node-fd-slicer)
module because we might need to read from multiple locations in the file at
the same time. `fdSlicer` is an object for which you can call
`createReadStream(options)`. See the fd-slicer README for more information.
'fileClosed'
- emitted when localFile
has been closed.And these methods:
abort()
- call this to stop the find operation.client.downloadFile(params)
See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#getObject-propertyparams
:localFile
- the destination path on disk to write the s3 object into
s3Params
: params to pass to AWS SDK getObject
.The difference between using AWS SDK
getObject
and this one:This works with a destination file, not a stream or a buffer. If the reported MD5 upon download completion does not match, it retries. Retry based on the client's retry settings. Progress reporting.
Returns an
EventEmitter
with these properties:progressAmount
progressTotal
And these events:
'error' (err)
'end'
- emitted when the file is downloaded successfully
'progress'
- emitted when progressAmount
and progressTotal
properties change.
client.downloadBuffer(s3Params)
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#getObject-propertys3Params
: params to pass to AWS SDK getObject
.The difference between using AWS SDK
getObject
and this one:This works with a buffer only. If the reported MD5 upon download completion does not match, it retries. Retry based on the client's retry settings. Progress reporting.
Returns an
EventEmitter
with these properties:progressAmount
progressTotal
And these events:
'error' (err)
'end' (buffer)
- emitted when the file is downloaded successfully.`buffer` is a `Buffer` containing the object data.
'progress'
- emitted when progressAmount
and progressTotal
properties change.
client.downloadStream(s3Params)
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#getObject-propertys3Params
: params to pass to AWS SDK getObject
.The difference between using AWS SDK
getObject
and this one:This works with a stream only.
If you want retries, progress, or MD5 checking, you must code it yourself.
Returns a
ReadableStream
with these additional events:'httpHeaders' (statusCode, headers)
- contains the HTTP responseheaders and status code.
client.listObjects(params)
See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#listObjects-propertyparams
:s3Params
- params to pass to AWS SDK listObjects
.
(optional) recursive
- true
or false
whether or not you want to recurseinto directories. Default `false`.
Note that if you set Delimiter
in s3Params
then you will get a list of
objects and folders in the directory you specify. You probably do not want to
set recursive
to true
at the same time as specifying a Delimiter
because
this will cause a request per directory. If you want all objects that share a
prefix, leave the Delimiter
option null
or undefined
.Be sure that
s3Params.Prefix
ends with a trailing slash (/
) unless you
are requesting the top-level listing, in which case s3Params.Prefix
should
be empty string.The difference between using AWS SDK
listObjects
and this one:Retries based on the client's retry settings. Supports recursive directory listing. Makes multiple requests if the number of objects to list is greater than 1000.
Returns an
EventEmitter
with these properties:progressAmount
objectsFound
dirsFound
And these events:
'error' (err)
'end'
- emitted when done listing and no more 'data' events will be emitted.
'data' (data)
- emitted when a batch of objects are found. This isthe same as the `data` object in AWS SDK.
'progress'
- emitted when progressAmount
, objectsFound
, and`dirsFound` properties change.
And these methods:abort()
- call this to stop the find operation.client.deleteObjects(s3Params)
See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#deleteObjects-propertys3Params
are the same.The difference between using AWS SDK
deleteObjects
and this one:Retry based on the client's retry settings. Make multiple requests if the number of objects you want to delete is
greater than 1000.
Returns an EventEmitter
with these properties:progressAmount
progressTotal
And these events:
'error' (err)
'end'
- emitted when all objects are deleted.
'progress'
- emitted when the progressAmount
or progressTotal
properties change.
'data' (data)
- emitted when a request completes. There may be more.client.uploadDir(params)
Syncs an entire directory to S3.params

- `Prefix` (required)
- `Bucket` (required)
(optional) deleteRemoved
- delete s3 objects with no corresponding local file.default false
(optional) getS3Params
- function which will be called for every file thatneeds to be uploaded. You can use this to skip some files. See below.
(optional) defaultContentType
: Unless you explicitly set the ContentType
parameter in `s3Params`, it will be automatically set for you based on the
file extension of `localFile`. If the extension is unrecognized,
`defaultContentType` will be used instead. Defaults to
`application/octet-stream`.
(optional) followSymlinks
- Set this to false
to ignore symlinks.Defaults to `true`.
function getS3Params(localFile, stat, callback) {
// call callback like this:
var err = new Error(...); // only if there is an error
var s3Params = { // if there is no error
ContentType: getMimeType(localFile), // just an example
};

doneFindingObjects
doneMd5
And these events:
'error' (err)
'end'
- emitted when all files are uploaded
'progress'
- emitted when any of the above progress properties change.
'fileUploadStart' (localFilePath, s3Key)
- emitted when a file beginsuploading.
'fileUploadEnd' (localFilePath, s3Key)
- emitted when a file successfullyfinishes uploading.
uploadDir
works like this:0. Start listing all S3 objects for the target
Prefix
. S3 guaranteesreturned objects to be in sorted order.
0. Meanwhile, recursively find all files in localDir
.
0. Once all local files are found, we sort them (the same way that S3 sorts).
0. Next we iterate over the sorted local file list one at a time, computingMD5 sums.
0. Now S3 object listing and MD5 sum computing are happening in parallel. Aseach operation progresses we compare both sorted lists side-by-side,
iterating over them one at a time, uploading files whose MD5 sums don't
match the remote object (or the remote object is missing), and, if
`deleteRemoved` is set, deleting remote objects whose corresponding local
files are missing.
client.downloadDir(params)
Syncs an entire directory from S3.params
:localDir
- destination directory on local file system to sync to
s3Params
- `Prefix` (required)
- `Bucket` (required)
(optional) deleteRemoved
- delete local files with no corresponding s3 object. default false
(optional) getS3Params
- function which will be called for every object thatneeds to be downloaded. You can use this to skip downloading some objects.
See below.
(optional) followSymlinks
- Set this to false
to ignore symlinks.Defaults to `true`.
function getS3Params(localFile, s3Object, callback) {
// localFile is the destination path where the object will be written to
// s3Object is same as one element in the `Contents` array from here:
// http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#listObjects-property
// call callback like this:
var err = new Error(...); // only if there is an error
var s3Params = { // if there is no error
VersionId: "abcd", // just an example
};
// pass `null` for `s3Params` if you want to skip downloading this object.

(optional) MFA
Returns an
EventEmitter
with these properties:progressAmount

And these events:
'error' (err)
'end'
- emitted when all objects are deleted.
'progress'
- emitted when the progressAmount
or progressTotal
properties change.deleteDir
works like this:0. Start listing all objects in a bucket recursively. S3 returns 1000 objects
per response.
0. For each response that comes back with a list of objects in the bucket,immediately send a delete request for all of them.
client.copyObject(s3Params)
See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#copyObject-propertys3Params
are the same. Don't forget that CopySource
must contain the
source bucket name as well as the source key name.The difference between using AWS SDK
copyObject
and this one:Retry based on the client's retry settings.
Returns an
EventEmitter
with these events:'error' (err)
'end' (data)
client.moveObject(s3Params)
See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#copyObject-propertys3Params
are the same. Don't forget that CopySource
must contain the
source bucket name as well as the source key name.Under the hood, this uses
copyObject
and then deleteObjects
only if the
copy succeeded.Returns an
EventEmitter
with these events:'error' (err)
'copySuccess' (data)
'end' (data)
Examples
Check if a file exists in S3
Using the AWS SDK, you can send a HEAD request, which will tell you if a file exists atKey
.See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#headObject-property
var client = require('s3-client').createClient({ /* options */ });
client.s3.headObject({
Bucket: 's3 bucket name',
Key: 'some/remote/file'
}, function(err, data) {
if (err) {
// file does not exist (err.statusCode == 404)
return;
}
// file exists
});
Testing
S3_KEY=<valid_s3_key> S3_SECRET=<valid_s3_secret> S3_BUCKET=<valid_s3_bucket> npm test
Tests upload and download large amounts of data to and from S3. The test timeout is set to 40 seconds because Internet connectivity waries wildly.
