Answer 1

Complete and working Node Cheat | Upload to s3 using multer-s3 available.

Code:

var express = require('express'),
    aws = require('aws-sdk'),
    bodyParser = require('body-parser'),
    multer = require('multer'),
    multerS3 = require('multer-s3');

aws.config.update({
    secretAccessKey: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
    accessKeyId: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
    region: 'us-east-1'
});

var app = express(),
    s3 = new aws.S3();

app.use(bodyParser.json());

var upload = multer({
    storage: multerS3({
        s3: s3,
        bucket: 'bucket-name',
        key: function (req, file, cb) {
            console.log(file);
            cb(null, file.originalname); //use Date.now() for unique file keys
        }
    })
});

//open in browser to see upload form
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
    res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');//index.html is inside node-cheat
});

//use by upload form
app.post('/upload', upload.array('upl',1), function (req, res, next) {
    res.send("Uploaded!");
});

app.listen(3000, function () {
    console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!');
});
