File-storage

This module provide a unified API to store files in different storage providers.

Supoorted backends:

• Node FileSystem
• AWS S3
• Google Cloud Storage

Installation

npm install --save @getlarge/nestjs-tools-file-storage

Example

// module.ts
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { ConfigModule, ConfigService } from '@nestjs/config';
import { FileStorageLocal, FileStorageModule, FileStorageS3 } from '@getlarge/nestjs-tools-file-storage';

import { AppService } from './env';

@Module({
  imports: [
    ConfigModule.forRoot({
      isGlobal: true,
    }),
    FileStorageModule.forRootAsync({
      inject: [ConfigService],
      useFactory: (configService: ConfigService) => {
        const environment = configService.get('NODE_ENV', { infer: true });
        if (environment === 'development') {
          const setup = {
            storagePath: configService.get('STORAGE_PATH'),
            maxPayloadSize: configService.get('MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE'),
          };
          return new FileStorageLocal(setup);
        }
        const setup = {
          maxPayloadSize: configService.get('MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE'),
          bucket: configService.get('AWS_S3_BUCKET'),
          region: configService.get('AWS_S3_REGION'),
          credentials: {
            accessKeyId: configService.get('AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
            secretAccessKey: configService.get('AWS_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
          },
        };
        return new FileStorageS3(setup);
      },
    }),
  ],
  providers: [AppService],
})
export class AppModule {}

// service.ts
import { FileStorageService } from '@getlarge/nestjs-tools-file-storage';
import { Inject, Injectable, Logger } from '@nestjs/common';
import { ConfigService } from '@nestjs/config';

@Injectable()
export class AppService {
  constructor(
    @Inject(ConfigService) private readonly configService: ConfigService,
    @Inject(FileStorageService)
    private readonly fileStorageService: FileStorageService,
  ) {}

  getFile(filePath: string): Promise<Buffer> {
    return this.fileStorage.downloadFile({ filePath });
  }

  setFile(filePath: string, content: string): Promise<void> {
    return this.fileStorage.uploadFile({
      filePath,
      content,
    });
  }

  deleteFile(filePath: string): Promise<void> {
    return this.fileStorage.deleteFile({ filePath });
  }
}

Testing

To run the tests, you need to have a .env.test file in the root of the project following the structure of the .env.test.sample file. You should also authenticate to external services.

AWS

I highly recommend configuring the AWS Identity Center to manage your AWS credentials for development.

Note: You can use the aws CLI to authenticate, find more information here.

Once authenticated:

• set the AWS_PROFILE environment variable to the profile you want to use
• or set the AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables.

Google Cloud

The recommended approach is to setup Application Default Credentials.

Note: You can use the gcloud CLI to authenticate, more information here.

Troubleshooting

If, after upgrading, you get the following error:

/usr/local/bin/node[57897]: ../src/node_http_parser.cc:517:static void node::(anonymous namespace)::Parser::Execute(const FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value> &): Assertion `parser->current_buffer_.IsEmpty()' failed.

You need to update to node v18.6 or higher. This is due to an issue with the node http module. More information can be found here and here.
