Ruby AWS::SDK Examples (aws-sdk gem ~>2)¶

Settings¶

You can setup the connection on global way:

Aws.config.update(
        endpoint: 'https://objects.dreamhost.com.',
        access_key_id: 'my-access-key',
        secret_access_key: 'my-secret-key',
        force_path_style: true,
        region: 'us-east-1'
)

and instantiate a client object:

s3_client = Aws::S3::Client.new

Listing Owned Buckets¶

This gets a list of buckets that you own. This also prints out the bucket name and creation date of each bucket.

s3_client.list_buckets.buckets.each do |bucket|
        puts "#{bucket.name}\t#{bucket.creation_date}"
end

The output will look something like this:

mahbuckat1   2011-04-21T18:05:39.000Z
mahbuckat2   2011-04-21T18:05:48.000Z
mahbuckat3   2011-04-21T18:07:18.000Z

Creating a Bucket¶

This creates a new bucket called my-new-bucket

s3_client.create_bucket(bucket: 'my-new-bucket')

If you want a private bucket:

acl option accepts: # private, public-read, public-read-write, authenticated-read

s3_client.create_bucket(bucket: 'my-new-bucket', acl: 'private')

Listing a Bucket’s Content¶

This gets a list of hashes with the contents of each object This also prints out each object’s name, the file size, and last modified date.

s3_client.get_objects(bucket: 'my-new-bucket').contents.each do |object|
        puts "#{object.key}\t#{object.size}\t#{object.last-modified}"
end

The output will look something like this if the bucket has some files:

myphoto1.jpg 251262  2011-08-08T21:35:48.000Z
myphoto2.jpg 262518  2011-08-08T21:38:01.000Z

Deleting a Bucket¶

Note

The Bucket must be empty! Otherwise it won’t work!

s3_client.delete_bucket(bucket: 'my-new-bucket')

Forced Delete for Non-empty Buckets¶

First, you need to clear the bucket:

Aws::S3::Bucket.new('my-new-bucket', client: s3_client).clear!

after, you can destroy the bucket

s3_client.delete_bucket(bucket: 'my-new-bucket')

Creating an Object¶

This creates a file hello.txt with the string "Hello World!"

s3_client.put_object(
        key: 'hello.txt',
        body: 'Hello World!',
        bucket: 'my-new-bucket',
        content_type: 'text/plain'
)

Change an Object’s ACL¶

This makes the object hello.txt to be publicly readable, and secret_plans.txt to be private.

s3_client.put_object_acl(bucket: 'my-new-bucket', key: 'hello.txt', acl: 'public-read')

s3_client.put_object_acl(bucket: 'my-new-bucket', key: 'private.txt', acl: 'private')

Download an Object (to a file)¶

This downloads the object poetry.pdf and saves it in /home/larry/documents/

s3_client.get_object(bucket: 'my-new-bucket', key: 'poetry.pdf', response_target: '/home/larry/documents/poetry.pdf')

Delete an Object¶

This deletes the object goodbye.txt

s3_client.delete_object(key: 'goodbye.txt', bucket: 'my-new-bucket')

Generate Object Download URLs (signed and unsigned)¶

This generates an unsigned download URL for hello.txt. This works because we made hello.txt public by setting the ACL above. This then generates a signed download URL for secret_plans.txt that will work for 1 hour. Signed download URLs will work for the time period even if the object is private (when the time period is up, the URL will stop working).

puts Aws::S3::Object.new(
        key: 'hello.txt',
        bucket_name: 'my-new-bucket',
        client: s3_client
).public_url

puts Aws::S3::Object.new(
        key: 'secret_plans.txt',
        bucket_name: 'hermes_ceph_gem',
        client: s3_client
).presigned_url(:get, expires_in: 60 * 60)

The output of this will look something like:

http://objects.dreamhost.com/my-bucket-name/hello.txt
http://objects.dreamhost.com/my-bucket-name/secret_plans.txt?Signature=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&Expires=1316027075&AWSAccessKeyId=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ruby AWS::S3 Examples (aws-s3 gem)¶

Creating a Connection¶

This creates a connection so that you can interact with the server.

AWS::S3::Base.establish_connection!(
        :server            => 'objects.dreamhost.com',
        :use_ssl           => true,
        :access_key_id     => 'my-access-key',
        :secret_access_key => 'my-secret-key'
)
