A bucket is a namespace on OSS and a management entity for billing, access control, logging, and other advanced features.

View all buckets

You can use the listBuckets interface to list all the buckets belonging to the current user. You can specify the prefix parameter to list all buckets whose names contain the specified prefix. 

let OSS = require('ali-oss');

let client = new OSS({
  region: '<Your region>',
  accessKeyId: '<Your AccessKeyId>',
  accessKeySecret: '<Your AccessKeySecret>'
});

async function listBuckets() {
  try {
    const result = await client.listBuckets();
    console.log(result);
    const result2 = await client.listBuckets({
      prefix: 'prefix',
    });
    console.log(result);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
}

listBuckets();

Create a bucket

You can create a bucket using the putBucket interface. You require to specify the bucket name: 

let OSS = require('ali-oss');

let client = new OSS({
  region: '<Your region>',
  accessKeyId: '<Your AccessKeyId>',
  accessKeySecret: '<Your AccessKeySecret>'
});

// putBucket
async function putBucket() {
  try {
    const result = await client.putBucket('your bucket name');
    console.log(result);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
}

putBucket();
Notice
  • For bucket naming conventions, see OSS Basic Concepts.
  • This is because the name of a bucket is globally unique, make sure your bucket name does not match with the other users’.

Delete a bucket

You can use the deleteBucket interface to delete a bucket. You require to specify the bucket name: 

let OSS = require('ali-oss');

let client = new OSS({
  region: '<Your region>',
  accessKeyId: '<Your AccessKeyId>',
  accessKeySecret: '<Your AccessKeySecret>'
});

async function deleteBucket() {
  try {
    const result = await client.deleteBucket('your bucket name');
    console.log(result);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
}

deleteBucket();
Notice
  • If the bucket to be deleted has objects in it, you must delete the objects first.
  • If the bucket to be deleted has unfinished upload requests, you must cancel the requests first using the listUploads and abortMultipartUpload interfaces.

Bucket access permissions

You can set the ACL policy of a bucket to allow or prohibit anonymous reads/writes to the bucket. For more information on ACL, see ACL.

  • Obtain the ACL of a bucket

    You can use getBucketACL to view the ACL policy of a bucket: 

    let OSS = require('ali-oss');

let client = new OSS({
  region: '<Your region>',
  accessKeyId: '<Your AccessKeyId>',
  accessKeySecret: '<Your AccessKeySecret>'
});

async function getBucketACL() {
  try {
    const result = await client.getBucketACL('luozhang002');
    console.log(result);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
}

getBucketACL();
  • Set the ACL policy of a bucket

    You can use putBucketACL to configure the ACL policy of a bucket: 

    let OSS = require('ali-oss');

let client = new OSS({
  region: '<Your region>',
  accessKeyId: '<Your AccessKeyId>',
  accessKeySecret: '<Your AccessKeySecret>'
});

async function putBucketACL() {
  try {
    const result = await client.putBucketACL('bucket name', 'public-read');
    console.log(result);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
}

putBucketACL();
