S3 for Node.js

node-s3 is a (thus far) minimilist library for Amazon's S3 storage system.

Usage

The first thing you'll need is a request manager:

 var s3 = new S3('your_aws_key', 'your_aws_secret_key')

Commands

At the moment, the only supported commands are put and get, and are used thusly:

Put: var data_to_upload = {a:'b', c:'d'} s3.put({bucket:'my_bucket', key:'some_directory/key', data:data_to_upload}, function(err, result) { if (!err) do_stuff() }) You can also pass your own headers to put: var data_to_upload = {a:'b', c:'d'}, headers = { 'x-amz-storage-class': 'REDUCED_REDUNDANCY' }

s3.put({bucket:'my_bucket', key:'some_directory/key', data:data_to_upload, headers:headers}, function(err, result) {
  if (!err)
    do_stuff()
})

Get: s3.get('my_bucket', 'some_directory/key', function(err, result) { if (!err) do_stuff(result) })

Connection Pooling

node-s3 uses host (bucket) scoped connection pooling, via HTTP's keep-alive goodness. By default, ten possible connections per host are created, but not all of them connect immediately. The pool attempts to re-use the most recently freed http client, so as to minimize the number of actual connections made.
