Using lib-storage upload, with Presigned URL from backend

[shanlalit]

Describe the feature

Is it possible to use a backend service(Rails/Laravel etc.) to generate a presigned-urls to be used in the S3Client (lib-storage upload) on browser side for uploading? I couldn't find any example code showing a PreSigned URL being using to upload a file using lib-storage upload.

Use Case

I don't want to create a S3Client(browser) with secret key(or using any credentials providers).

Tried to find an example which gets the preSignedURL from the server (express/rails/laravel) for upload and then pass that to lib-storage for the upload functionality, assuming it will take care of all uploads related things (multipart etc.) and we can listen to the upload progress.

Somethings similar was inquired by @timodwhit in : Ticket: #2086

Hi @shanlalit ,

I converted your question into a discussion because it was more a request for guidance than a feature request.

Currently there is no way to use lib-storage with a presigned URL. You might be able to do so with a 3rd party library or with some custom code.

Thank you @RanVaknin,

I didn't tried to explore the discussion group, I will keep that in mind.

In future do we have a roadmap for such support in the lib-storage? Is it better to use client side credentials (with recommended providers), instead of presigned URL?

Any updates about this?

Hi @RanVaknin

Would you pleases suggest a 3rd party lib which might help us use presigned URLs, or a pseudo code example for custom solution.

Thank you.
