Buffer implementing io.WriterAt in go

Question

I\'m using the aws-sdk to download a file from an s3 bucket. The S3 download function want\'s something that implements io.WriterAt however bytes.Buffer doesn\'t implement t

Answer 1

For cases involving the AWS SDK, use aws.WriteAtBuffer to download S3 objects into memory.

requestInput := s3.GetObjectInput{
    Bucket: aws.String(bucket),
    Key:    aws.String(key),
}

buf := aws.NewWriteAtBuffer([]byte{})
downloader.Download(buf, &requestInput)

fmt.Printf("Downloaded %v bytes", len(buf.Bytes()))
