multer-minio-storage v1.0.0

Multer MinIO Storage

Streaming multer storage engine for MinIO.

This project is inspired from Multer S3

Installation

npm install --save multer-minio-storage

Usage

var minio = require('minio')
var express = require('express')
var multer = require('multer')
var multerMinioStorage = require('multer-minio-storage')

var app = express()
var minioCient = new minio.Client({ /* ... */ })

var upload = multer({
  storage: multerMinioStorage({
    minioCient: minioCient,
    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-minio-storage:

Setting ACL

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

var upload = multer({
  storage: multerMinioStorage({
    minioClient: minioClient,
    bucket: 'some-bucket',
    acl: 'public-read',
    key: function (req, file, cb) {
      cb(null, Date.now().toString())
    }
  })
})

Available options for canned ACL.

Setting Metadata

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

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

var opts = {
    minioClient: minioClient,
    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 Minio. 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: multerMinioStorage({
    minioClient: minioClient,
    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 multerMinioStorage.AUTO_CONTENT_TYPE constant. Here is an example that will detect the content type of the file being uploaded.

var upload = multer({
  storage: multerMinioStorage({
    minioClient: minioClient,
    bucket: 'some-bucket',
    contentType: multerMinioStorage.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 multerMinioStorage object.

var upload = multer({
  storage: multerMinioStorage({
    minioClient: minioClient,
    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: multerMinioStorage({
    minioClient: minioClient,
    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; 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 and here.

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], and the specified key must be in the same AWS region as the S3 bucket used.

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

Testing

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