Performing a File-Based Upload

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.

File-based upload uses local files as data sources. The following sample code shows how to perform a file upload:

// Import the OBS library.
// Use npm to install the client.
var ObsClient = require('esdk-obs-nodejs');
// Use source codes to install the client.
// var ObsClient = require('./lib/obs');

// Create an instance of ObsClient.
var obsClient = new ObsClient({
       //Obtain an AK/SK pair using environment variables or import the AK/SK pair in other ways. Using hard coding may result in leakage.
       //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.ACCESS_KEY_ID,
       secret_access_key: process.env.SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
       server : 'https://your-endpoint'
});

obsClient.putObject({
       Bucket : 'bucketname',
       Key : 'objectname',
         SourceFile : 'localfile'  // Path of the local file to be uploaded. The file name must be specified.
}, (err, result) => {
       if(err){
              console.error('Error-->' + err);
       }else{
              console.log('Status-->' + result.CommonMsg.Status);
       }
});
  • Use the SourceFile parameter to specify the path to the to-be-uploaded file.
  • The SourceFile parameter and the Body parameter cannot be used together.
  • The content to be uploaded cannot exceed 5 GB.
