I am currently using S3 upload function in Node.js to upload files to an S3 bucket. The frontend of the application is built on Angular. However, my client now requires that all uploads be directed to the S3 bucket via a presigned URL. I am wondering if this requirement is due to security concerns. Below is the code snippet that I am using for uploading files to the S3 Bucket:
async function uploadFile(object){
//object param contains two properties 'image_data' and 'path'
return new Promise(async(resolve, reject) => {
var obj = object.image_data;
var imageRemoteName = object.path+'/'+Date.now()+obj.name;
AWS.config.update({
accessKeyId: ACCESS_KEY,
secretAccessKey: SECRET_KEY,
region: REGION
})
var s3 = new AWS.S3()
s3.upload({
Bucket: BUCKET,
Body: obj.data,
Key: imageRemoteName
})
.promise()
.then(response => {
console.log(`done! - `, response)
resolve(response.Location)
})
.catch(err => {
console.log('failed:', err)
})
})
}
Any assistance or insight on this matter would be highly appreciated. Thank you!
