Deleting Versioning Objects

Deleting a Single Versioning Object

You can call ObsClient.deleteObject to delete an object version by specifying the version ID (VersionId).

This example deletes object objectname from bucket bucketname by specifying VersionId.

The example 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.
    access_key_id: process.env.AccessKeyID,
    secret_access_key: process.env.SecretAccessKey,
    server: 'https://your-endpoint'
'
});

obsClient.deleteObject({
       Bucket : 'bucketname',
       Key : 'objectname',
       VersionId : 'versionid'
}, function (err, result) {
       if(err){
              console.log('Error-->' + err);
       }else{
              console.log('Status-->' + result.CommonMsg.Status);
       }
});

Deleting Versioning Objects in a Batch

You can call ObsClient.deleteObjects to batch delete specific versions of an object by passing the VersionId value of each version to delete.

This example deletes objects objectname1 and objectname2 from bucket bucketname in a batch by specifying their version IDs.

The example 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.
    access_key_id: process.env.AccessKeyID,
    secret_access_key: process.env.SecretAccessKey,
    server: 'https://your-endpoint'
});
 
obsClient.deleteObjects({ 
       Bucket: 'bucketname', 
       // Set the response mode to verbose.
       Quiet : false, 
       Objects : [{Key:'objectname1', VersionId : 'version1'},{Key:'objectname2', VersionId : 'version2'}, {Key : 'objectname3', VersionId : 'version3'}] 
}, function (err, result) { 
       if(err){ 
              console.log('Error-->' + err); 
       }else{ 
              console.log('Status-->' + result.CommonMsg.Status); 
              if(result.CommonMsg.Status < 300 && result.InterfaceResult){
                     // Obtain the successfully deleted objects.
                     console.log('Deleteds:'); 
                     for(var i in result.InterfaceResult.Deleteds){ 
                            console.log('Deleted[' + i + ']:'); 
                            console.log('Key-->'+result.InterfaceResult.Deleteds[i]['Key']); 
                            console.log('VersionId-->' + result.InterfaceResult.Deleteds[i]['VersionId']); 
                     } 
                     // Obtain information about objects that were not deleted.
                     console.log('Errors:'); 
                     for(var j in result.InterfaceResult.Errors){ 
                            console.log('Error[' + j + ']:'); 
                            console.log('Key-->' + result.InterfaceResult.Errors[j]['Key']); 
                            console.log('VersionId-->' + result.InterfaceResult.Errors[j]['VersionId']); 
                     }
              }
       } 
});
