Uploading to google cloud storage with Node.js

Question

Struggling with Node.js and Google cloud. I am trying to upload a file to a bucket in Google Cloud Storage. Basically I am using the code in this answer: https://stackoverflow.c

Answer 1

The authentication of the storage should look like this:

const storage = new Storage({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    authDomain: "YOUR_AUTH_DOMAIN",
    databaseURL: "YOUR_DATABASE_URL",
    projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
    storageBucket: "YOUR_STORAGE_BUCKET",
    messagingSenderId: "YOUR_MESSAGE_SENDER_ID"
});

Also working with multipart looks different than with local files. So the code for uploading would be:

            const fileName = 'file_name.extension";

            const fileUpload = bucket.file(fileName);

            const uploadStream = fileUpload.createWriteStream({
                metadata: {
                    contentType: file.mimetype
                }
            });


            uploadStream.on('error', (err) => {
                console.log(err);
                return;
            });

            uploadStream.on('finish', () => {
                console.log('Upload success');
            });

            uploadStream.end(file.buffer);

Lastly, bucketName shouldn't contain gs:// - it should look like this: project_id.appspot.com.

Ps. Uploading mimetype was handled with busboy in the code above.
