gcs-resumable-upload

Upload a file to Google Cloud Storage with built-in resumable behavior

$ npm install --save gcs-resumable-upload

var upload = require('gcs-resumable-upload');
var fs = require('fs');

fs.createReadStream('titanic.mov')
  .pipe(upload({ bucket: 'legally-owned-movies', file: 'titanic.mov' }))
  .on('finish', function () {
    // Uploaded!
  });

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-auto-auth and accepts all of the configuration that module does to strike up a connection as config.authConfig. See authConfig.
