Node.js & Amazon S3: How to iterate through all files in a bucket?

Question

Is there any Amazon S3 client library for Node.js that allows listing of all files in S3 bucket?

The most known aws2js and knox don\'t seem to have this functionalit

Answer 1

The cleanest way to do it for me was through execution of s3cmd from my node script like this (The example here is to delete files recursively):

var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var child;
var bucket = "myBucket";
var prefix = "myPrefix"; // this parameter is optional
var command = "s3cmd del -r s3://" + bucket + "/" + prefix;
child = exec(command, {maxBuffer: 5000 * 1024}, function (error, stdout, stderr) { // the maxBuffer is here to avoid the maxBuffer node process error
            console.log('stdout: ' + stdout);
            if (error !== null) {
                console.log('exec error: ' + error);
            }
        });
