Backblaze B2 Node.js Library

This library uses promises, so all actions on a B2
instance return a promise in the following pattern
b2.instanceFunction(arg1, arg2).then(
successFn(response) { ... },
errorFn(err) { ... }
);

Upgrading from 0.9.x to 1.0.x
For this update, we've switched the back end HTTP request library from request
to axios
as it has better Promise and progress support built in. However, there are a couple changes that will break your code and ruin your day. Here are the changes:
- The Promise resolution has a different data structure. Where previously, the request response data was the root object in the promise resolution (
res
), this data now resides in res.data
. - In v0.9.12, we added request progress reporting via the third parameter to
then()
. Because we are no longer using the same promise library, this functionality has been removed. However, progress reporting is still available by passing a callback function into the b2.method()
that you're calling. See the documentation below for details. - In v0.9.x,
b2.downloadFileById()
accepted a fileId
parameter as a String or Number. As of 1.0.0, the first parameter is now expected to be a plain Object of arguments.
Usage
var B2 = require('backblaze-b2');
// All functions on the b2 instance return the response from the B2 API in the success callback
// i.e. b2.foo(...).then(function(b2JsonResponse) {})
// create b2 object instance
var b2 = new B2({
accountId: 'accountId',
applicationKey: 'applicationKey'
});
// authorize with provided credentials
b2.authorize(); // returns promise
// create bucket
b2.createBucket(
bucketName,
bucketType // one of `allPublic`, `allPrivate`
); // returns promise
// delete bucket
b2.deleteBucket(bucketId); // returns promise
// list buckets
b2.listBuckets(); // returns promise
// update bucket2
b2.updateBucket(bucketId, bucketType); // returns promise
// get upload url
b2.getUploadUrl(bucketId); // returns promise
// upload file
b2.uploadFile({
uploadUrl: 'uploadUrl',
uploadAuthToken: 'uploadAuthToken',
filename: 'filename',
mime: '', // optonal mime type, will default to 'b2/x-auto' if not provided
data: 'data' // this is expecting a Buffer not an encoded string,
info: {
// optional info headers, prepended with X-Bz-Info- when sent, throws error if more than 10 keys set
// valid characters should be a-z, A-Z and '-', all other characters will cause an error to be thrown
key1: value
key2: value
},
onUploadProgress: function(event) || null // progress monitoring
}); // returns promise
// list file names
b2.listFileNames({
bucketId: 'bucketId',
startFileName: 'startFileName',
maxFileCount: 100,
delimiter: '',
prefix: ''
}); // returns promise
// list file versions
b2.listFileVersions({
bucketId: 'bucketId',
startFileName: 'startFileName',
maxFileCount: 100
}); // returns promise
// hide file
b2.hideFile({
bucketId: 'bucketId',
fileName: 'fileName'
}); // returns promise
// get file info
b2.getFileInfo(fileId); // returns promise
// download file by name
b2.downloadFileByName({
bucketName: 'bucketName',
fileName: 'fileName',
onDownloadProgress: function(event) || null // progress monitoring
}); // returns promise
// download file by fileId
b2.downloadFileById({
fileId: 'fileId',
onDownloadProgress: function(event) || null // progress monitoring
}); // returns promise
// delete file version
b2.deleteFileVersion({
fileId: 'fileId',
fileName: 'fileName'
}); // returns promise
// start large file
b2.startLargeFile({
bucketId: 'bucketId',
fileName: 'fileName'
}) // returns promise
// get upload part url
b2.getUploadPartUrl({
fileId: 'fileId'
}) // returns promise
// get upload part
b2.uploadPart({
partNumber: 'partNumber', // A number from 1 to 10000
uploadUrl: 'uploadUrl',
uploadAuthToken: 'uploadAuthToken', // comes from getUploadPartUrl();
data: Buffer // this is expecting a Buffer not an encoded string,
onUploadProgress: function(event) || null // progress monitoring
}) // returns promise
// finish large file
b2.finishLargeFile({
fileId: 'fileId',
partSha1Array: [partSha1Array] // array of sha1 for each part
}) // returns promise
// cancel large file
b2.cancelLargeFile({
fileId: 'fileId'
}) // returns promise
