• Use the aws-sdk to assist with uploading
• Use multer to parse the file upload request

Server Endpoint

• POST - /api/resource/:resourceID/new-resource
• DELETE route - /api/resource/:resourceID/new-resource/:new-resourceID
• Test: DELETE - 204 - test to ensure the object was deleted from s3

Tests

• POST - 200 - test that the upload worked and a resource object is returned

DELETE Route Hints

• Try using the deleteObject method provided by the aws-sdk to delete an object (file) from S3
  • you will need to pass in a params object that contains the associated Bucket and AWS object key in order to delete the object from s3
  • ex:

  var params = {
    Bucket: 's3-bucket-name',
    Key: 'object-filename'
  }
  s3.deleteObject(params)

• Don't forget to remove the resource from the DB
