gcpfileupload

gcpfileupload is a Go package that simplifies the process of uploading a file to a bucket in Google Cloud Storage.

Installation

To use this package, install it using go get:

go get github.com/awmpietro/gcpfileupload

Usage:

First, import the package:

import "github.com/awmpietro/gcpfileupload"

Create an instance of FileUploader:

/**
/* The params for NewFileUploader are:
/* r *http.Request - pointer to the current http.Request
/* formFile string - name of field in form that holds the file
/* fileName string - if you want to change the name of original file. default is original name.
/* bucketName string - the name of the bucket where file is going to be store in Google Cloud Storage
*/
fileUpload := gcpfileupload.NewFileUploader(r, "file", "my-new-name", "my-bucket")

Call the Upload function:

hasFile, err := fileUpload.Upload()

The Upload function returns:

A boolean hasFile: true if there is a file to upload. false if not.

An error: Returns nil if there is no error. Returns the error encountered during the upload process otherwise.

Configuration

Make sure to set up the GOOGLE_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME environment variable in your environment. This should point to the path of the Google user account key you've previously created:

export GOOGLE_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME=path_to_your_google_account_key.json

Replace path_to_your_google_account_key.json with the actual path to your Google user account key file.
