ibm-cos-sdk

IBM Cloud Object Storage - Node.js SDK

This package allows Node.js developers to write software that interacts with IBM Cloud Object Storage. It is a fork of the AWS SDK for Javascript library.

Documentation

• Core documentation for IBM COS
• Node.js API reference documentation
• REST API reference documentation

For release notes, see the CHANGELOG.

• Example code
• Getting help

Quick start

You'll need:

• An instance of COS.
• An API key from IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management with at least Writer permissions.
• The ID of the instance of COS that you are working with.
• Token acquisition endpoint
• Service endpoint
• Node 4.0++.

These values can be found in the Bluemix UI by generating a 'service credential'.

Getting the SDK

The preferred way to install the IBM COS SDK for Node.js is to use the npm package manager for Node.js. Simply type the following into a terminal window:

npm install ibm-cos-sdk

Example code

var AWS = require('ibm-cos-sdk');
var util = require('util');

var config = {
    endpoint: '<endpoint>',
    apiKeyId: '<api-key>',
    ibmAuthEndpoint: 'https://iam.ng.bluemix.net/oidc/token',
    serviceInstanceId: '<resource-instance-id>',
};

var cos = new AWS.S3(config);

function doCreateBucket() {
    console.log('Creating bucket');
    return cos.createBucket({
        Bucket: 'my-bucket',
        CreateBucketConfiguration: {
          LocationConstraint: 'us-standard'
        },
    }).promise();
}

function doCreateObject() {
    console.log('Creating object');
    return cos.putObject({
        Bucket: 'my-bucket',
        Key: 'foo',
        Body: 'bar'
    }).promise();
}

function doDeleteObject() {
    console.log('Deleting object');
    return cos.deleteObject({
        Bucket: 'my-bucket',
        Key: 'foo'
    }).promise();
}

function doDeleteBucket() {
    console.log('Deleting bucket');
    return cos.deleteBucket({
        Bucket: 'my-bucket'
    }).promise();
}

doCreateBucket()
    .then(doCreateObject)
    .then(doDeleteObject)
    .then(doDeleteBucket)
    .then(function() {
        console.log('Finished!');
    })
    .catch(function(err) {
        console.error('An error occurred:');
        console.error(util.inspect(err));
    });
