gcs-resumable-upload
Upload a file to Google Cloud Storage with built-in resumable behavior
$ npm install gcs-resumable-upload
const {upload} = require('gcs-resumable-upload');
const fs = require('fs');
fs.createReadStream('titanic.mov')
.pipe(upload({ bucket: 'legally-owned-movies', file: 'titanic.mov' }))
.on('progress', (progress) => {
console.log('Progress event:')
console.log('\t bytes: ', progress.bytesWritten);
})
.on('finish', () => {
});
Or from the command line:
$ npm install -g gcs-resumable-upload
$ cat titanic.mov | gcs-upload legally-owned-movies titanic.mov
If somewhere during the operation, you lose your connection to the internet or your tough-guy brother slammed your laptop shut when he saw what you were uploading, the next time you try to upload to that file, it will resume automatically from where you left off.
How it works
This module stores a file using ConfigStore that is written to when you first start an upload. It is aliased by the file name you are uploading to and holds the first 16kb chunk of data* as well as the unique resumable upload URI. (Resumable uploads are complicated)
If your upload was interrupted, next time you run the code, we ask the API how much data it has already, then simply dump all of the data coming through the pipe that it already has.
After the upload completes, the entry in the config file is removed. Done!
* The first 16kb chunk is stored to validate if you are sending the same data when you resume the upload. If not, a new resumable upload is started with the new data.
Authentication
Oh, right. This module uses google-auth-library and accepts all of the configuration that module does to strike up a connection as config.authConfig
. See authConfig
.
API
const {gcsResumableUpload} = require('gcs-resumable-upload')
const upload = gcsResumableUpload(config)
upload
is an instance of Duplexify
.
Methods
upload.createURI(callback)
callback(err, resumableURI)
callback.err
Invoked if the authorization failed or the request to start a resumable session failed.
callback.resumableURI
The resumable upload session URI.
upload.deleteConfig()
This will remove the config data associated with the provided file.
Configuration
config
Configuration object.
config.authClient
If you want to re-use an auth client from google-auth-library, pass an instance here.
config.authConfig
See authConfig
.
config.bucket
The name of the destination bucket.
config.configPath
Where the gcs-resumable-upload configuration file should be stored on your system. This maps to the configstore option by the same name.
config.customRequestOptions
For each API request we send, you may specify custom request options that we'll add onto the request. The request options follow the gaxios API: https://github.com/googleapis/gaxios#request-options.
For example, to set your own HTTP headers:
const stream = upload({
customRequestOptions: {
headers: {
'X-My-Header': 'My custom value',
},
},
})
config.file
The name of the destination file.
config.generation
This will cause the upload to fail if the current generation of the remote object does not match the one provided here.
config.key
- Type:
string|buffer
- Optional
A customer-supplied encryption key.
config.kmsKeyName
Resource name of the Cloud KMS key, of the form projects/my-project/locations/global/keyRings/my-kr/cryptoKeys/my-key
, that will be used to encrypt the object. Overrides the object metadata's kms_key_name
value, if any.
config.metadata
Any metadata you wish to set on the object.
config.metadata.contentLength
Set the length of the file being uploaded.
config.metadata.contentType
Set the content type of the incoming data.
config.offset
The starting byte of the upload stream, for resuming an interrupted upload.
config.origin
Set an Origin header when creating the resumable upload URI.
config.predefinedAcl
Apply a predefined set of access controls to the created file.
Acceptable values are:
authenticatedRead
- Object owner gets OWNER
access, and allAuthenticatedUsers
get READER
access.bucketOwnerFullControl
- Object owner gets OWNER
access, and project team owners get OWNER
access.bucketOwnerRead
- Object owner gets OWNER
access, and project team owners get READER
access.private
- Object owner gets OWNER
access.projectPrivate
- Object owner gets OWNER
access, and project team members get access according to their roles.publicRead
- Object owner gets OWNER
access, and allUsers
get READER
access.
config.private
Make the uploaded file private. (Alias for config.predefinedAcl = 'private'
)
config.public
Make the uploaded file public. (Alias for config.predefinedAcl = 'publicRead'
)
config.uri
If you already have a resumable URI from a previously-created resumable upload, just pass it in here and we'll use that.
config.userProject
If the bucket being accessed has requesterPays
functionality enabled, this can be set to control which project is billed for the access of this file.
config.retryOptions
Parameters used to control retrying operations.
interface RetryOptions {
retryDelayMultiplier?: number;
totalTimeout?: number;
maxRetryDelay?: number;
autoRetry?: boolean;
maxRetries?: number;
retryableErrorFn?: (err: ApiError) => boolean;
}
config.retryOptions.retryDelayMultiplier
Base number used for exponential backoff. Default 2.
config.retryOptions.totalTimeout
Upper bound on the total amount of time to attempt retrying, in seconds. Default: 600.
config.retryOptions.maxRetryDelay
The maximum time to delay between retries, in seconds. Default: 64.
config.retryOptions.autoRetry
Whether or not errors should be retried. Default: true.
config.retryOptions.maxRetries
The maximum number of retries to attempt. Default: 5.
config.retryOptions.retryableErrorFn
Custom function returning a boolean indicating whether or not to retry an error.
config.chunkSize
Enables Multiple chunk upload mode and sets each request size to this amount.
This only makes sense to use for larger files. The chunk size should be a multiple of 256 KiB (256 x 1024 bytes). Larger chunk sizes typically make uploads more efficient. We recommend using at least 8 MiB for the chunk size.
Review documentation for guidance and best practices.
Events
.on('error', function (err) {})
err
Invoked if the authorization failed, the request failed, or the file wasn't successfully uploaded.
.on('response', function (response) {})
resp
The response object from Gaxios.
metadata
The file's new metadata.
.on('progress', function (progress) {})
progress
progress.bytesWritten
progress.contentLength
Progress event provides upload stats like Transferred Bytes and content length.
.on('finish', function () {})
The file was uploaded successfully.
Static Methods
const {createURI} = require('gcs-resumable-upload')
createURI(config, callback)
callback(err, resumableURI)
callback.err
Invoked if the authorization failed or the request to start a resumable session failed.
callback.resumableURI
The resumable upload session URI.
