GET list of objects located under a specific S3 folder

Question

I am trying to GET a list of objects located under a specific folder in an S3 bucket using a query-string which takes the foldername as the parameter and list all objects which match that specific folder using Node JS aws-sdk

For example: http://localhost:3000/listobjects?foldername=xxx

Please suggest how to implement this functionality.

Answer 1

You can specify the prefix while calling the getObject or listObjectsV2 in aws-sdk

var params = {   Bucket: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */   Prefix: 'STRING_VALUE'  // Can be your folder name }; s3.listObjectsV2(params, function(err, data) {   if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred   else     console.log(data);           // successful response }); 

By the way, S3 doesn't have folders. It is just a prefix. It shows you the folder structure to make it easy for you too navigate and see files.

You forget to mention folder into s3 bucket, anyways this code works for me

var params = { Bucket:Bucket_Name, Delimiter: '/', Prefix: 'foldername/' };  s3Bucket.listObjects(params, function(err, data) {             if (err) {                 return 'There was an error viewing your album: ' + err.message             }else{                 console.log(data.Contents,"<<<all content");                  data.Contents.forEach(function(obj,index){                     console.log(obj.Key,"<<<file path")                 })             }         })
