Nodejs package to manage Google Cloud Buckets and its objects.
Google Cloud Bucket is a node.js package to manage Google Cloud Buckets and its objects. All read APIs uses an exponential backoff retry strategy in cases of errors. By default, that strategy times out after 10 seconds, but it can be configured.
npm i google-cloud-bucket --save
Before using this package, you must first:
roles/storage.objectCreatorroles/storage.objectAdmin (only if you want to update access to object or create/delete buckets)roles/storage.admin (only if you want to update access to an entire bucket)service-account.json file (make sure it is located under a path that is accessible to your app), or save the following properties to either manually set up the client or set up environment variables:

const { client } = require('google-cloud-bucket')
// This is one of the many options to create a storage client. To see all the different
// way to create a client, please refer to the '4 ways to create a client' section.
const storage = client.new({
jsonKeyFile: join(__dirname, './service-account.json')
})
// LISTING ALL THE BUCKETS IN THAT PROJECT
storage.list().then(console.log)
const someObject = {

Bucket API
The examples above demonstrate how to insert and query any storage. We've also included a variant of those APIs that are more focused on the bucket:
// THIS API:
storage.insert(someObject, 'your-bucket/a-path/filename.json')
// CAN BE REWRITTEN AS FOLLOW:
storage.bucket('your-bucket').object('a-path/filename.json').insert(someObject)
// THIS API:
storage.get('your-bucket/a-path/filename.json').then(obj => console.log(obj))
// CAN BE REWRITTEN AS FOLLOW:
storage.bucket('your-bucket').object('a-path/filename.json').get().then(obj => console.log(obj))
// THIS API:
storage.exists('your-bucket/a-path/image.jpg')
.then(fileExists => fileExists ? console.log('File exists.') : console.log('File does not exist.'))
// CAN BE REWRITTEN AS FOLLOW:
storage.bucket('your-bucket').object('a-path/image.jpg').exists()
.then(fileExists => fileExists ? console.log('File exists.') : console.log('File does not exist.'))
// THIS API:
storage.list('your-bucket/a-path/')
.then(files => console.log(files))
// CAN BE REWRITTEN AS FOLLOW:
storage.bucket('your-bucket').object('a-path/').list()
.then(files => console.log(files))
This allows to make any files publicly readable by anybody on the web. That's usefull if you want to host a website, or publish data (e.g., RSS feed).
Once your bucket is publicly readable, everyone can access it at this url: https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/some-path/index.html
WARNING: If that bucket hosts files that hsould be accessible cross domain (e.g., an RSS feed), don't forget to also set up CORS (next section Configuring CORS On a Bucket).
const bucket = storage.bucket('your-bucket')
// TEST WHETHER A BUCKET IS PUBLIC OR NOT
bucket.isPublic().then(isPublic => isPublic ? console.log(`Bucket '${bucket.name}' is public`) : console.log(`Bucket '${bucket.name}' is not public`))
// MAKING A BUCKET PUBLICLY READABLE (warning: Your service account must have the 'roles/storage.admin' role)
// Once a bucket is public, all content added to it (even when omitting the 'public' flag) is public
bucket.addPublicAccess()
.then(({ publicUri }) => console.log(`Your web page is publicly available at: ${publicUri}`))
// REMOVING THE PUBLICLY READABLE ACCESS FROM A BUCKET (warning: Your service account must have the 'roles/storage.admin' role)
bucket.removePublicAccess()
// MAKING AN EXISTING OBJECT PUBLICLY READABLE (warning: Your service account must have the 'roles/storage.objectAdmin' role)
bucket.object('a-path/private.html').addPublicAccess()
.then(({ publicUri }) => console.log(`Your web page is publicly available at: ${publicUri}`))
// REMOVING THE PUBLICLY READABLE ACCESS FROM A FILE (warning: Your service account must have the 'roles/storage.objectAdmin' role)
bucket.object('a-path/private.html').removePublicAccess()
It is also possible to make a single file publicly readable in a single command when the file is created:
storage.insert(html, 'your-bucket/a-path/index.html', { public: true })
.then(({ publicUri }) => console.log(`Your web page is publicly available at: ${publicUri}`))
Once your file is publicly readable, everyone can access it at this url: https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/a-path/index.html
WARNING: If that bucket hosts files that hsould be accessible cross domain (e.g., an RSS feed), don't forget to also set up CORS (next section Configuring CORS On a Bucket).
It is also possible to set a file's content encoding in a single command when the file is created:
storage.insert(html, 'your-bucket/a-path/index.html', { contentEncoding: 'gzip' })
.then(({ publicUri }) => console.log(`Your gzipped file is available at: ${publicUri}`))
If your files are publicly readable on the web, they might not be accessible when referenced from other websites. To enable other websites to access your files, you will have to configure CORS on your bucket:
// CONFIGURE CORS ON A BUCKET (warning: Your service account must have the 'roles/storage.admin' role)
bucket.cors.setup({
origin: ['*'],
method: ['GET', 'OPTIONS', 'HEAD', 'POST'],
responseHeader: ['Authorization', 'Origin', 'X-Requested-With', 'Content-Type', 'Accept'],
maxAgeSeconds: 3600
})
.then(() => console.log(`CORS successfully set up on your bucket.`))
If you want to check if CORS has already been set up on a bucket:
bucket.cors.exists().then(yes => yes
? console.log(`CORS already set up on bucket '${bucket.name}'.`)
: console.log(`CORS not set up yet on bucket '${bucket.name}'.`))
You can also check if a specific CORS config exists:
bucket.cors.exists({
origin: ['*'],
method: ['GET', 'OPTIONS', 'HEAD', 'POST'],
responseHeader: ['Authorization', 'Origin', 'X-Requested-With', 'Content-Type', 'Accept'],
maxAgeSeconds: 3600
}).then(yes => yes
? console.log(`CORS already set up on bucket '${bucket.name}'.`)
: console.log(`CORS not set up yet on bucket '${bucket.name}'.`))
To remove CORS from a bucket:
bucket.cors.disable().then(() => console.log(`CORS successfully disabled on bucket '${bucket.name}'.`))
To achieve this you need to setup 5 things:
You need to setup the service account that you've been using to manage your bucket (defined in your service-account.json) as a domain owner. To achieve that, the first step is to prove your ownership using https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome. When that's done, open the settings and select User and permissions. There, you'll be able to add a new owner, which will allow you to add the email of your service account.
Create a bucket with a name matching your domain (e.g., www.your-domain-name.com)
Make that bucket public. Refer to section Publicly Readable Config above.
Add a new CNAME record in your DNS similar to this:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | www | c.storage.googleapis.com |
Configure the bucket so that each index.html and the 404.html page are the default pages (otherwise, you'll have to explicitly enter http://www.your-domain-name.com/index.html to reach your website instead of simply entering http://www.your-domain-name.com):
bucket.website.setup({
mainPageSuffix: 'index.html',
notFoundPage: '404.html'
}).then(console.log)
const bucket = storage.bucket('your-bucket-name')
bucket.object('some-folder-path').zip({
to: {
local: 'some-path-on-your-local-machine',
bucket: {
name: 'another-existing-bucket-name', // Optional (default: Source bucket. In our example, that source bucket is 'your-bucket-name')
path: 'some-folder-path.zip' // Optional (default: 'archive.zip'). If specified, must have the '.zip' extension.
}
},
ignore:[/\.png$/, /\.jpg$/, /\.html$/] // Optional. Array of strings or regex
})
.then(({ count, data }) => {
console.log(`${count} files have been zipped`)
if (data)
// 'data' is null if the 'options.to' is defined
console.log(`The zip file's size is: ${data.length/1024} KB`)
})
Extra Options
You can also track the various steps of the zipping process with the optional on object:
const bucket = storage.bucket('your-bucket-name')
bucket.object('some-folder-path').zip({
to: {
local: 'some-path-on-your-local-machine',
bucket: {
name: 'another-existing-bucket-name', // Optional (default: Source bucket. In our example, that source bucket is 'your-bucket-name')
path: 'some-folder-path.zip' // Optional (default: 'archive.zip'). If specified, must have the '.zip' extension.
}
},
on:{
'files-listed': (files) => {
console.log(`Total number of files to be zipped: ${files.count}`)
console.log(`Raw size: ${(files.size/1024/1024).toFixed(1)} MB`)
// 'files.data' is an array of all the files' details
},
'file-received': ({ file, size }) => {
console.log(`File ${file} (byte size: ${size}) is being zipped`)
},
'finished': ({ size }) => {
console.log(`Zip process completed. The zip file's size is ${size} bytes`)
},
'saved': () => {
console.log('The zipped file has been saved')
},
'error': err => {
console.log(`${err.message}\n${err.stack}`)
}
}
})
.then(({ count, data }) => {
console.log(`${count} files have been zipped`)
if (data)
// 'data' is null if the 'options.to' is defined
console.log(`The zip file's size is: ${data.length/1024} KB`)
})
This library supports four different ways to create a client. The first method is the recommended way:
service-account.jsonconst storage = client.new()
In this case, the package fetches the credentials automatically. It will try three different techniques to get those data, and if none of them work, an error is thrown. Those techniques are:
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable exists, its value is supposed to be the path to a service account JSON key file on the hosting machine.~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json file exists, then the credentials it contains are used (more about setting that file up below).When developing on your local environment, use either #2 or #3. #3 is equivalent to being invited by the SysAdmin to the project and granted specific privileges. To set up ~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json, follow those steps:
GCloud CLI on your environment.gcloud auth login
gcloud config set project <YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_HERE>
gcloud auth application-default login
<YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_HERE> as your default project. Finally, the third command creates a new ~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json file with the credentials you need for the <YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_HERE> project.service-account.jsonWe assume that you have created a Service Account in your Google Cloud Account (using IAM) and that you've downloaded a service-account.json (the name of the file does not matter as long as it is a valid json file). The first way to create a client is to provide the path to that service-account.json as shown in the following example:
const storage = client.new({
jsonKeyFile: join(__dirname, './service-account.json')
})
This method is similar to the previous one. You should have dowloaded a service-account.json, but instead of providing its path, you provide some of its details explicitly:
const storage = client.new({
credentials: {
project_id: 'your-project-id',
client_email:'something-1234@your-project-id.iam.gserviceaccount.com',
private_key: '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n123456789-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n'
}
})
const storage = client.new()
The above will only work if all the following environment variables are set:
GOOGLE_CLOUD_BUCKET_PROJECT_ID or GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT_IDGOOGLE_CLOUD_BUCKET_CLIENT_EMAIL or GOOGLE_CLOUD_CLIENT_EMAILGOOGLE_CLOUD_BUCKET_PRIVATE_KEY or GOOGLE_CLOUD_PRIVATE_KEYWARNING: If you're using NPM's
dotenv, wrap your PRIVATE_KEY between double-quotes, otherwise some characters are escaped which corrupts the key.
Refer to the next section to see how to pass an OAuth2 token.
Networks errors (e.g. socket hang up, connect ECONNREFUSED) are a fact of life. To deal with those undeterministic errors, this library uses a simple exponential back off retry strategy, which will reprocess your read or write request for 10 seconds by default. You can increase that retry period as follow:
// Retry timeout for CHECKING FILE EXISTS
storage.exists('your-bucket/a-path/image.jpg', { timeout: 30000 }) // 30 seconds retry period timeout
// Retry timeout for INSERTS
storage.insert(someObject, 'your-bucket/a-path/filename.json', { timeout: 30000 }) // 30 seconds retry period timeout
// Retry timeout for QUERIES
storage.get('your-bucket/a-path/filename.json', { timeout: 30000 }) // 30 seconds retry period timeout
If you've used the 3rd method to create a client (i.e. 3. Using a ProjectId), then all the method you use require an explicit OAuth2 token:
storage.list({ token }).then(console.log)
All method accept a last optional argument object.
The Google Cloud Storage API supports partial response. This allows to only return specific fields rather than all of them, which can improve performances if you're querying a lot of objects. The only method that currently supports partial response is the the list API.
storage.bucket('your-bucket').object('a-folder/').list({ fields:['name'] })
The above example only returns the name field. The full list of supported fields is detailed under bucketObject.list([options]) section.
To create the
storageobject, please refer to the previous section 3 ways to create a client.
This object allows to perform most read/write operations. It uses a string representing the path to where the objects or folders are. If using path is the stragegy you decide to employ to manage objects, then the Storage API is the way to go. If, on the contrary, you need to reason based on a specific bucket or a specific object, then it is recommended to use the Bucket API or the BucketObject API.
<Promise<GoogleBucketObject>>storage.get('your-bucket-name/path-to-file/your-file.css').then(console.log)

To help validate if a name follows those rules, this package provides a utility method called validate.bucketName:
const { utils:{ validate } } = require('google-cloud-bucket')
const validate.bucketName('hello') // => { valid:true, reason:null }
validate.bucketName('hello.com') // => { valid:true, reason:null }
validate.bucketName('he_llo-23') // => { valid:true, reason:null }
validate.bucketName('_hello') // => { valid:false, reason:'The bucket name must start and end with a number or letter.' }
validate.bucketName('hEllo') // => { valid:false, reason:'The bucket name must contain only lowercase letters, numbers, dashes (-), underscores (_), and dots (.).' }
validate.bucketName('192.168.5.4') // => { valid:false, reason:'The bucket name cannot be represented as an IP address in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.5.4).' }
validate.bucketName('googletest') // => { valid:false, reason:'The bucket name cannot begin with the "goog" prefix or contain close misspellings, such as "g00gle".' }
Single reagions are bucket locations that indicate that your data are replicated in multiple servers in that single region. Though it is unlikely that you would loose your data because all servers fail, it is however possible that a network failure brings that region inaccessbile. At this stage, your data would not be lost, but they would be unavailable for the period of that network outage. This type of storage is the cheapest.
Use this type of location if your data:
If the above limits are too strict for your use case, then you should probably use a Multi Regions.

Multi regions are bucket locations where your data are not only replicated in multiple servers in the same regions, but also replicated across multiple locations (e.g., asia will replicate your data across Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Mumbai, Singapore, Australia). That means that your data are:
| Location | Description |
