react-s3-uploader

Provides a React component that automatically uploads to an S3 Bucket.

Install

$ npm install react-s3-uploader

From Browser

var ReactS3Uploader = require('react-s3-uploader');

...

<ReactS3Uploader
    signingUrl="/s3/sign"
    accept="image/*"
    onProgress={this.onUploadProgress}
    onError={this.onUploadError}
    onFinish={this.onUploadFinish}
    signingUrlHeaders={{ additional: headers }}
    signingUrlQueryParams={{ additional: query-params }}
    uploadRequestHeaders={{ 'x-amz-acl': 'public-read' }}
    contentDisposition="auto"
    server="http://cross-origin-server.com" />

The above example shows all supported props. For uploadRequestHeaders, the default ACL is shown.

This expects a request to /s3/sign to return JSON with a signedUrl property that can be used to PUT the file in S3.

contentDisposition is optional and can be one of inline, attachment or auto. If given, the Content-Disposition header will be set accordingly with the file's original filename. If it is auto, the disposition type will be set to inline for images and attachment for all other files.

server is optional and can be used to specify the location of the server which is running the ReactS3Uploader server component if it is not the same as the one from which the client is served.

The resulting DOM is essentially:

<input type="file" onChange={this.uploadFile} />

When a file is chosen, it will immediately be uploaded to S3. You can listen for progress (and create a status bar, for example) by providing an onProgress function to the component.

Using custom function to get signedUrl

If can use custom function to get provide signedUrl directly to s3uploader by adding getSignedUrl prop. The function you provide should take file and callback arguments. Callback should be called with an object containing signedUrl key.

import ApiClient from './ApiClient';

function getSignedUrl(file, callback) {
  const client = new ApiClient();
  const params = {
    objectName: file.name,
    contentType: file.type
  };

  client.get('/my/signing/server', { params })
  .then(data => {
    callback(data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });
}


<ReactS3Uploader
  className={uploaderClassName}
  getSignedUrl={getSignedUrl}
  accept="image/*"
  onProgress={onProgress}
  onError={onError}
  onFinish={onFinish}
  uploadRequestHeaders={{
    'x-amz-acl': 'public-read'
  }}
  contentDisposition="auto"
/>

Server-Side

Bundled router

You can use the Express router that is bundled with this module to answer calls to /s3/sign

app.use('/s3', require('react-s3-uploader/s3router')({
    bucket: "MyS3Bucket",
    region: 'us-east-1', //optional
    signatureVersion: 'v4', //optional (use for some amazon regions: frankfurt and others)
    headers: {'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*'}, // optional
    ACL: 'private' // this is default
}));

This also provides another endpoint: GET /s3/img/(.*) and GET /s3/uploads/(.*). This will create a temporary URL that provides access to the uploaded file (which are uploaded privately by default). The request is then redirected to the URL, so that the image is served to the client.

To use this you will need to include the express module in your package.json dependencies.

Access/Secret Keys

The aws-sdk must be configured with your account's Access Key and Secret Access Key. There are a number of ways to provide these, but setting up environment variables is the quickest. You just have to configure environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, and AWS automatically picks them up.

Other Types of Servers

Boto for Python, in a Django project
import boto
import mimetypes
import json

...

conn = boto.connect_s3('AWS_KEY', 'AWS_SECRET')

def sign_s3_upload(request):
    object_name = request.GET['objectName']
    content_type = mimetypes.guess_type(object_name)[0]

    signed_url = conn.generate_url(
        300,
        "PUT",
        'BUCKET_NAME',
        'FOLDER_NAME' + object_name,
        headers = {'Content-Type': content_type, 'x-amz-acl':'public-read'})

    return HttpResponse(json.dumps({'signedUrl': signed_url}))

Ruby on Rails, assuming FOG usage

# Usual fog config, set as an initializer
storage = Fog::Storage.new(
  provider: 'AWS',
  aws_access_key_id: ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
  aws_secret_access_key: ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
)

# In the controller
options = {path_style: true}
headers = {"Content-Type" => params[:contentType], "x-amz-acl" => "public-read"}

@url = storage.put_object_url(ENV['S3_BUCKET_NAME'], "user_uploads/#{params[:objectName]}", 15.minutes.from_now.to_time.to_i, headers, options)

respond_to do |format|
  format.json { render json: {signedUrl: @url} }
end
