Configuring Lifecycle Management

When uploading an object, you can specify when it expires after being created.

Sample code is as follows:

static OBSClient *client;
NSString *endPoint = @"your-endpoint";
// Hard-coded or plaintext AK/SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK/SK and store them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK/SK are stored in environment variables for identity authentication. Before running this example, configure environment variables AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey.
// Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/eu/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
char* ak_env = getenv("AccessKeyID");
char* sk_env = getenv("SecretAccessKey");
NSString *AK = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:ak_env];
NSString *SK = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:sk_env];
    
// Initialize identity authentication.
OBSStaticCredentialProvider *credentialProvider = [[OBSStaticCredentialProvider alloc] initWithAccessKey:AK secretKey:SK];
    
//Initialize service configuration.
OBSServiceConfiguration *conf = [[OBSServiceConfiguration alloc] initWithURLString:endPoint credentialProvider:credentialProvider];
    
// Initialize an instance of OBSClient.
client = [[OBSClient alloc] initWithConfiguration:conf];
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"fileName" ofType:@"Type"];
// Upload a file.
OBSPutObjectWithFileRequest *request = [[OBSPutObjectWithFileRequest alloc]initWithBucketName:@"bucketname" objectKey:@"objectname" uploadFilePath:filePath];
    
// Specify that the file will expire 30 days after creation.
request.expires = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:30];
    
[client putObject:request completionHandler:^(OBSPutObjectResponse *response, NSError *error){
   NSLog(@"%@",response.etag);
}];

• The previous mode specifies the time duration in days after which an object will expire. The OBS server automatically clears expired objects.
• The object expiration time set in the preceding method takes precedence over the bucket lifecycle rule.
