S3 Bucket manager for Node.js applications with Express integration.

Install the package via npm:

npm install mbkbucket

import { uploadFile, downloadFile, listfiles, getBucketConfig, packageJson, bucket } from 'mbkbucket';

This imports the configured Express server instance:

import mbkbucket from 'mbkbucket';
// Access bucket router via: mbkbucket.bucket

For more granular control, import directly from submodules:

import { uploadFile } from 'mbkbucket/lib/s3';
import { packageJson } from 'mbkbucket/lib/config/index';
import bucketRouter from 'mbkbucket/lib/bucket';

• All functions, objects, and variables exported from lib/ are re-exported at the package root for convenience.
• TypeScript support with full type declarations (index.d.ts) for IDE intellisense and type safety.
• The default export is the configured Express server instance; access the bucket router as a named export.
• Supports Node.js 14.0.0 and higher with ES Modules.

• uploadFile() - Upload files to S3 bucket
• downloadFile() - Retrieve files from S3 bucket
• listfiles() - List contents of S3 bucket
• getBucketConfig() - Get current bucket configuration
• bucket - Express router with bucket management endpoints

For complete API documentation, refer to the TypeScript declarations in index.d.ts.

• Node.js >= 14.0.0
• AWS S3 credentials configured
• AWS SDK v3 compatible environment

The package validates both mbkbucketVar and BucketConnection at startup.

mbkautheVar.bucket is used as the default bucket.

Example:

mbkautheVar={"APP_NAME":"portal","loginRedirectURL":"/dashboard","bucket":"R2_Bucket"}

Notes:

• If APP_NAME is portal, mbkbucket works from bucket root (no portal/ folder prefix).
• If bucket is missing, mbkbucket falls back to the first bucket key in BucketConnection.

Use a JSON object where each key is a selectable connection name.

Example:

BucketConnection={"R2_Bucket":{"BUCKET_NAME":"my-r2-bucket","ACCESS_KEY_ID":"...","SECRET_ACCESS_KEY":"...","ENDPOINT":"https://<account-id>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com"},"S3_Bucket":{"BUCKET_NAME":"my-s3-bucket","ACCESS_KEY_ID":"...","SECRET_ACCESS_KEY":"...","ENDPOINT":"https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com"}}

Required fields per bucket:

• BUCKET_NAME
• ACCESS_KEY_ID
• SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• ENDPOINT

1. Quoted inner object (invalid)

BucketConnection={"R2_Bucket":"{\"BUCKET_NAME\":\"...\"}"}

2. Correct inner object (valid)

BucketConnection={"R2_Bucket":{"BUCKET_NAME":"...","ACCESS_KEY_ID":"...","SECRET_ACCESS_KEY":"...","ENDPOINT":"https://..."}}

• Admin page bucket selection: /mbkbucket?bucket=R2_Bucket
• Public view route /mbkbucket/p_view/:key(*) always uses the default bucket from mbkautheVar.bucket.

Run tests:

npm test

Current tests cover:

• mbkbucketVar parsing/defaults/boolean normalization
• BucketConnection shape validation and required fields
