5. Bucket Policy & Notification operations

Buckets are configured to trigger notifications on specified types of events and paths filters.

getBucketNotification(bucketName[, cb])

Fetch the notification configuration stored in the S3 provider and that belongs to the specified bucket name.

Parameters

Param Type Description
bucketName string Name of the bucket.
callback(err, bucketNotificationConfig) function Callback function is called with non null err value in case of error. bucketNotificationConfig will be the object that carries all notification configurations associated to bucketName. If no callback is passed, a Promise is returned.

Example

minioClient.getBucketNotification('mybucket', function (err, bucketNotificationConfig) {
  if (err) return console.log(err)
  console.log(bucketNotificationConfig)
})

setBucketNotification(bucketName, bucketNotificationConfig[, callback])

Upload a user-created notification configuration and associate it to the specified bucket name.

Parameters

Param Type Description
bucketName string Name of the bucket.
bucketNotificationConfig BucketNotification Javascript object that carries the notification configuration.
callback(err) function Callback function is called with non null err value in case of error. If no callback is passed, a Promise is returned.

    return console.log(e)
  }
  console.log('True')
})

listenBucketNotification(bucketName, prefix, suffix, events)

Listen for notifications on a bucket. Additionally one can provider
filters for prefix, suffix and events. There is no prior set bucket notification
needed to use this API. This is an MinIO extension API where unique identifiers
are registered and unregistered by the server automatically based on incoming requests.

Returns an EventEmitter, which will emit a notification event carrying the record.

To stop listening, call .stop() on the returned EventEmitter.

Parameters

Param Type Description
bucketName string Name of the bucket
prefix string Object key prefix to filter notifications for.
suffix string Object key suffix to filter notifications for.
events Array Enables notifications for specific event types.

See here for a full example.

const listener = minioClient.listenBucketNotification('my-bucketname', 'photos/', '.jpg', ['s3:ObjectCreated:*'])
listener.on('notification', function (record) {
  // For example: 's3:ObjectCreated:Put event occurred (2016-08-23T18:26:07.214Z)'
  console.log('%s event occurred (%s)', record.eventName, record.eventTime)
  listener.stop()
})

async getBucketPolicy(bucketName: string): Promise

Get the bucket policy associated with the specified bucket. If objectPrefix
is not empty, the bucket policy will be filtered based on object permissions
as well.

Parameters

Param Type Description
bucketName string Name of the bucket
// Retrieve bucket policy of 'my-bucketname'
const policy = await minioClient.getBucketPolicy('my-bucketname')
