Storage Class

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub. For details about parameters and usage of each API, see the API Reference.

OBS allows you to set storage classes for buckets. The storage class of an object defaults to be that of its residing bucket. Different storage classes meet different needs for storage performance and costs. There are three types of storage class for buckets, as described in the following table:

Storage Class

Description

Value in OBS BrowserJS SDK

OBS Standard

Features low access latency and high throughput and is applicable to storing frequently-accessed (multiple times per month) hotspot or small objects (< 1 MB) requiring quick response.

ObsClient.enums.StorageClassStandard

OBS Infrequent Access

Is applicable to storing semi-frequently accessed (less than 12 times a year) data requiring quick response.

ObsClient.enums.StorageClassWarm

OBS Archive

Is applicable to archiving rarely-accessed (once a year) data.

ObsClient.enums.StorageClassCold

For more information, see Bucket Storage Classes.

Setting the Storage Class for a Bucket

You can call ObsClient.setBucketStoragePolicy to set the storage class for a bucket. Sample code is as follows:

// Create an instance of ObsClient.
var obsClient = new ObsClient({
    // 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.
    // The front-end code does not have the process environment variable, so you need to use a module bundler like webpack to define the process variable.
    // Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
    access_key_id: process.env.AccessKeyID,
    secret_access_key: process.env.SecretAccessKey,
    // Replace the example endpoint with the actual one in your case.
    server: 'https://obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com'
});

obsClient.setBucketStoragePolicy({
       Bucket: 'bucketname',
       StorageClass: obsClient.enums.StorageClassWarm
}, function (err, result) {
       if(err){
              console.error('Error-->' + err);
       }else{
              console.log('Status-->' + result.CommonMsg.Status);
       }
});

Use the StorageClass parameter to set the storage class for a bucket.

Obtaining the Storage Class of a Bucket

You can call ObsClient.getBucketStoragePolicy to obtain the storage class of a bucket. Sample code is as follows:

// Create an instance of ObsClient.
var obsClient = new ObsClient({
    // 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.
    // The front-end code does not have the process environment variable, so you need to use a module bundler like webpack to define the process variable.
    // Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
    access_key_id: process.env.AccessKeyID,
    secret_access_key: process.env.SecretAccessKey,
    // Replace the example endpoint with the actual one in your case.
    server: 'https://obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com'
});

obsClient.getBucketStoragePolicy({
       Bucket: 'bucketname'
}, function (err, result) {
       if(err){
              console.error('Error-->' + err);
       }else{
              console.log('Status-->' + result.CommonMsg.Status);
              if(result.CommonMsg.Status < 300 && result.InterfaceResult){
                     console.log('StorageClass-->' + result.InterfaceResult.StorageClass);
              }
       }
});
