Uploading to Amazon S3
Please note that your Amazon S3 bucket must be created in the 'US Standard' region - recently renamed by AWS to US East (N. Virginia). If you fail to do so, you will get a 'TypeError('Uncaught, unspecified "error" event.').
With Sails, you can stream file uploads to Amazon S3 with very little additional configuration.
First install the S3 Skipper adapter:
$ npm install skipper-s3 --save
Then use it in one of your controllers:
uploadFile: function (req, res) {
req.file('avatar').upload({
adapter: require('skipper-s3'),
key: 'S3 Key',
secret: 'S3 Secret',
bucket: 'Bucket Name'
}, function (err, filesUploaded) {
if (err) return res.negotiate(err);
return res.ok({
files: filesUploaded,
textParams: req.params.all()
});
});
}
