Storj File Operations

This tiny PHP library provides some functions to interact with a Storj bucket, using S3Client from AWS.

I made it keeping the functional style in mind (with obvious exception for AWS S3 Client class)

Installation

A way to install, is by composer. I wrote a simple json config, so to get dependencies you just need to run the following command:

composer install

Usage

To use functions provided by this library, follow these steps:

• Set a path for and include the storjfunctions.php file in your PHP script:

require_once 'path/to/storjfunctions.php';

• In storjfunctions.php, set a path for storjaccess.php file, which contains necessary credentials:

define('STORJS3ACCESS', 'path/to/storjaccess.php');

• Use storjFile() function to interact with specific file in Storj bucket:

$fileOperations = storjFile(
    $s3client
  , 'your-bucket-name'
  , 'file-key'
);

// Check if file exists in bucket
$fileExists = $fileOperations['exists']();

// Check if local file is older than file in bucket
$fileIsUpdated = $fileOperations['isUpdated']('/path/to/local/file');

// Copy file from bucket to local path
$fileCopied = $fileOperations['copy']('/path/to/local/file');

// Generate pre-signed download URL for file
$downloadUrl = $fileOperations['download'](3600);
// 3600 is optional expire time, default is set to 600 (10 minutes)

• Use updateFromStorj() function to check and update local file from Storj bucket:

$updateResult = updateFromStorj(
    'your-bucket-name'
  , '/path/to/local/file'
  , 'file-key'
);

// Check results
$fileExists = $updateResult['fileExists'];
$fileUpdated = $updateResult['fileUpdated'];
$fileCopied = $updateResult['fileCopied'];

• To retrieve download URL for file stored in Storj bucket, use getStorjDownload() function:

$downloadUrl = getStorjDownload(
    'file-key'
  , 'your-bucket-name'
  , 3600  // Optional (default is 600)
);

storjaccess.php

storjaccess.php file should contain necessary credentials for connecting to Storj. It should return an associative array with following keys:

return [
    'region'      => 'your-region',
    'version'     => 'latest',
    'credentials' => [
                      'key'    => 'your-access-key',
                      'secret' => 'your-secret-key',
                     ],
];

Replace 'your-region', 'your-access-key', and 'your-secret-key' with your actual Storj credentials.

Security

To ensure security of Storj credentials, consider following these practices:

• Keep storjaccess.php file secure and out of project public dir.
• Avoid committing storjaccess.php file to version control systems.

TODO:

evaluate a more secure way to access Storj credentials, keeping functional paradigm as possible
