s3-signurl-uploader v0.2.0

s3-signurl-uploader

🚀 Simplify file uploads to Amazon S3 with ease! This library provides a seamless interface for handling pre-signed URLs and multipart uploads.

Features

Automatic Chunking 📦

Large files are automatically segmented into multiple 10MB chunks, ensuring efficient upload processes and reducing the risk of timeouts or failures.

Parallel Uploads with Web Workers 🔄

Each upload process runs in a dedicated web worker, allowing for parallel execution. This enhances performance by leveraging the multi-threaded capabilities of web workers, enabling simultaneous uploads of different file segments.

!NOTE
As Chrome currently limits the maximum number of connections to 6 per domain, s3-signurl-uploader accommodates up to 6 concurrent workers.

WebAssembly for Performance Optimization 🚀

The library harnesses the power of WebAssembly to read and process each file slice. This ensures optimal performance, making the most of browser capabilities for efficient data handling.

Server-Side S3 API Invocation 🔒

The primary use case for this library is when S3 API needs to be invoked from the server side, but you still want to take advantage of multipart upload. By using this library, IAM credentials do not need to be passed to the browser, ensuring a secure and seamless integration.

Installing

• npm install s3-signurl-uploader
• yarn add s3-signurl-uploader
• pnpm add s3-signurl-uploader

Getting Started

Import

import {
  CompleteMultiparUploadInput, 
  CreateMultiparUploadInput, 
  GeneratePresignedUrlInput, 
  S3Uploader, 
  S3UploadStatus,
} from "s3-signurl-uploader";

Create callbacks for S3 Multipart Upload API

const completeMultiparUpload = async (input: CompleteMultiparUploadInput) => {
  // call your own backend api
  const res = await fetch("http://localhost:9402/complete_multipart_upload", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      "bucket": input.bucketName,
      "key": input.objectKey,
      "parts": input.parts.map(part => ({"part_number": part?.partNumber, "etag": part?.etag})),
      "upload_id": input.uploadId
    }),
  });
  if (!res.ok) {
    throw Error
  }
};

const createMultipartUpload = async (input: CreateMultiparUploadInput) => {
  // call your own backend api
  const res = await fetch("http://localhost:9402/create_multipart_upload", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        "bucket": input.bucketName,
        "key": input.objectKey,
        "filename": input.filename,
        "content_type": input.contentType
      }),
  });
  return await res.json();
};

const generatePresignedUrl = async (input: GeneratePresignedUrlInput) => {
  // call your own backend api
  const res = await fetch("http://localhost:9402/generate_presigned_url", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        "bucket": input.bucketName,
        "key": input.objectKey,
        "upload_id": input.uploadId,
        "part_number": input.partNumber,
        "client_method": input.clientMethod
      }),
  })
  return await res.json();
};

const abortMultipartUpload: AbortMultipartUpload = async (input) => {
  // call your own backend api
  const res = await fetch("http://localhost:9402/abort_multipart_upload", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      "bucket": input.bucketName,
      "key": input.objectKey,
      "upload_id": input.uploadId
    }),
  });
  if (!res.ok) {
    throw Error
  }
};

Create a client

const uploader = new S3Uploader(
    file, // File
    "bucket", // Bucket name
    "object", // Object Key
    // Callback functions defined above
    {
      generatePresignedUrl: generatePresignedUrl,
      completeMultipartUpload: completeMultiparUpload,
      createMultipartUpload: createMultipartUpload,
      abortMultipartUpload: abortMultipartUpload, // Optional
      onProgress: onProgress // Optional
    }
);

Upload/Resume a file to S3

// Upload
await uploader.upload();

// Resume
if (uploader.status === S3UploadStatus.Failed){
  await uploader.resume();
}

Abort Multipart Upload

if (uploader.status === S3UploadStatus.Uploading){
  await uploader.abort();
}

!IMPORTANT
This operation promptly terminates a multipart upload and halts all ongoing Web Workers. Despite this, certain parts may still manage to complete the upload process. Thus, it is strongly advised to set up a bucket lifecycle policy for deleting incomplete multipart uploads.

Quick backend setup

As s3-signurl-uploader relies on the assumption that S3 API operations (such as createMultipartUpload, generatePresignedUrl, completeMultipartUpload, etc.) are executed on the server side, you must first establish your own backend API. You can experiment with multipart upload functionality by launching a simple python REST API and MinIO.

cd backend
docker compose up --build
