See more Amazon S3 (new) Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a pre-signed URL to download a file from the Amazon S3 service. React Native

import { Http } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const http = new Http();

  http.awsAccessKey = 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY';
  http.awsSecretKey = 'AWS_SECRET_KEY';

  // Make sure to set your AWS region correctly
  http.awsRegion = 'us-east-1';

  const bucketName = 'chilkat100';
  const objectName = 'starfish/starfish.jpg';
  const localFilePath = 'qa_output/starfish.jpg';
  const awsService = 's3';

  // The signed URL will be valid for this number of seconds:
  const numSecondsValid = 86400;

  // Choose between a URL beginning with "http://" or "https://"...
  const bUseHttps = false;

  // Generate the pre-signed URL
  let preSignedUrl: string;
  try {
    preSignedUrl = http.s3GenPresignedUrl('GET', bUseHttps, bucketName, objectName, numSecondsValid, awsService);
  } catch {
    console.log(http.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // The following URL can be copy-and-pasted into a browser..
  console.log(`Pre-Signed AWS S3 URL: ${preSignedUrl}`);

  // Here's an example of a pre-signed URL. 
  // This URL will only work within 1 day (86400 seconds) after the time this example was published.
  // 
  //     http://chilkat100.s3.amazonaws.com/starfish/starfish.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=16QXXDGY83AJJR6RVQ02%2F20170111%2Fus-west-2%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20170111T161959Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=72bf4fd9a15d7bbcdd313a3318d937a778905f62a3fbff9b789d8dc28acd9232

  // Now try to do an HTTP Download using the signed URL.
  try {
    await http.downloadAsync(preSignedUrl, 'c:/temp/qa_output/starfish.jpg');
  } catch {
    console.log(http.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log('Success.');
