Node.js File Upload to Amazon S3

This Node.js application provides a simple API endpoint for uploading files to Amazon S3 using the AWS SDK v3. It utilizes Express.js for handling HTTP requests, Multer for handling file uploads, and the aws-sdk library for interacting with Amazon S3.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Node.js
• npm (Node Package Manager)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/abdoil/s3-upload-API.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd your-repo
   

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

4. Create a .env file in the project root and add your AWS credentials:

   AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-access-key
   AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret-key
   AWS_BUCKET_NAME=your-s3-bucket-name 
   
   

Usage

1. Start the server:

   node index.js
   

2. Make a POST request to http://localhost:3000/upload with one or more files attached.

   Example using curl:

   curl -X POST -F "file=@/path/to/your/file.txt" http://localhost:3000/upload
   

3. The server will upload the file(s) to Amazon S3, and the response will be a JSON object containing the status and the modified keys:

   {
     "status": "success",
     "modifiedKeys": [
       "https://your-s3-bucket-url/uploads/your-uuid-filename.txt"
     ]
   } 
   
   

Configuration

Adjust the AWS configuration and other settings in the .env file.
