npm install lambda-s3-archiver --save

Introduction

This nodejs module will read and archive files in AWS S3 bucket using stream, and store the archive file in S3 as well. It works very well archiving any files in S3 bucket. Since it is using stream in both reading the source files and writing the archive file, it can safely process large files without too much memory needed in the lambda.

Description

/*
 * This nodejs module will read and archive files in AWS S3 bucket using stream, and store the archived file in S3 as well..
 * @param {sourceBucket} - the S3 bucket containing the files to archive
 * @param {sourcePath} - the S3 prefix/path containing the files to archive
 * @param {sourceFiles} - (OPTIONAL) the list of filenames in the sourcePath to archive
 *                      - If not specified, all the files in sourcePath will be included in the archive
 * @param {outputFilename} - the filename of the archive file. Default to 'archive'.
 * @param {outputFormat} - the format of the archive file (zip | tar). Default to 'zip'.
 * @param {uploadOptions} - additional options passed to s3.upload https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#upload-property
 * @return {object} - a JSON object containing the details of the archive file.
    {
        s3Bucket: 's3-bucket-name',
        fileKey: 's3-prefix-path/archive.zip',
        fileSize: 1024
    }
 */

Usage

1. Archive ALL files in the specified s3 sourcePath prefix.

const s3Archiver = require('lambda-s3-archiver');

const result = await s3Archiver.archive('s3-bucket-name', 's3-prefix-path');
console.log(result);

2. Archive ALL files in the specified s3 sourcePath prefix by passing outputFilename and outputFormat as parameters.

const s3Archiver = require('lambda-s3-archiver');

const result = await s3Archiver.archive('s3-bucket-name', 's3-prefix-path', [], 'outputFile', 'zip');
console.log(result);

3. Archive specified list of files in the specified s3 sourcePath prefix.

const s3Archiver = require('lambda-s3-archiver');

const result = await s3Archiver.archive('s3-bucket-name', 's3-prefix-path', ['files1', 'files2'], 'outputFile', 'tar');
console.log(result);

Important

Please make sure the lambda has read and write access to the source S3 Bucket.
