block-storage

This module connects to the Digital Ocean's API and allow you to operate over volumes.

Block Storage is currently in Beta. Some things may not be as you spect. See documentation before using this module.

See Digital Ocean Volumes API Documentation

Installation

To download the Block Storage API Client that I've made simply download it via NPM. NPM is always going to have the latest stable version of it. Be free to add any flag after the command such as --save or --save-dev

 
$ npm install block-storage
 

Authentication: Bearer Token

To use the module you have to give it a token. This token allows you to use the entire Digital Ocean API. Click here to generate a Digital Ocean token using your account

 
const Volumes = require('block-storage')
const volumes = new Volumes({
  token: '0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X'
})
 

Available resources and methods(API)

volumes means the variable that has the client to connect to the Digital Ocean Volumes API correctly configured. See authentication again to see more about that variable.

volumes.get()

Brings a single volume using its id.

 
volumes.get(volumeId, (err, volume) => {
  if (err) console.log(err)
  console.log(volume)
})
 

volumes.list()

Brings a list of all volumes on your Digital Ocean's account.

 
volumes.list( (err, volumes) => {
  if (err) console.log(err)
  console.log(volumes)
})
 

volumes.create()

Creates a volume.

 
volumes.create({
    "size_gigabytes": 10,
    "name": "example",
    "description": "An awesome Block Storage unit",
    "region": "nyc1"
}, (err, volume) => {
    if (err) console.log(err)
    console.log(volume)
})
 

volumes.actions()

Retrieves all actions that have been executed on a volume.

 
volumes.actions(volumeId, (err, actions) => {
  if (err) console.log(err)
  console.log(actions)
})
 

volumes.attach()

Attaches a volume into a droplet.

 
volumes.attach(volumeId, dropletId, (err, res) => {
  if (err) console.log(err)
  console.log(res)
})
 

volumes.detach()

Detaches a volume out of a droplet.

 
volumes.detach(volumeId, dropletId, (err, res) => {
  if (err) console.log(err)
  console.log(res)
})
 

volumes.delete()

Deletes a single volume.

 
volumes.delete(volumeId)
 

volumes.resize()

Resizes a single volume.

 
volumes.resize(volumeId, gigabytes, (err, obj) => {
  if (err) console.log(err)
  console.log(obj)
})
 

Ussage

Using callbacks

 
volumes.get(volumeId, (err, volume) => {
  if (err) console.log(err)
  console.log(volume)
})
 

Using async functions(ES7/ES2016)

 
async function getVolume() {
  try {
    let volume = await volumes.get(volumeId)
    console.log(volume)
  }
  catch (e) {
    console.log(e)
  }
}
