Uploading from client to S3 without importing the whole AWS-SDK library

help

Hi,

Doing : import AWS from ‘aws-sdk’; works but it adds 7 mb to the JS bundle file.
So we’re trying to import only required modules :
import {Config,CognitoIdentityCredentials, S3} from “aws-sdk”;

But doing that, we don’t understand how to setup credentials so the upload fails because we cannot do this since the AWS object does not exist:
AWS.config.update({
region: client_region,
credentials: new CognitoIdentityCredentials({
IdentityPoolId: POOL_ID })
});

And we get this error when trying to upload:
AttachDocument.jsx:646 attachment: finished uploading to s3 from client err= CredentialsError: Missing credentials in config, if using AWS_CONFIG_FILE, set AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1

Even if we try to setup the config in the S3 object this way, we get the same error:

let confTmp = new Config({
region: client_region,
apiVersion: “2006-03-01”,
credentials: new CognitoIdentityCredentials({
IdentityPoolId: POOL_ID
})
});

var s3 = new S3(confTmp ) ;
s3.upload(params, function (err, data) {
console.log(“attachment: finished uploading to s3 from client err=”,err, " data=",data);

} );

Any idea what to do ?

Just use edgee:slingshot. It works like a charm.

There is also this somewhat newer fork:

I heard it would fix an issue with the latest Meteor versions. I am still on Meteor 2.1, where the original works just fine.
