Object Storage Service:Manage directories

Usage notes

• In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, see Regions and endpoints.

• In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.

Create a directory

The following code provides an example on how to create a directory named exampledir:

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
    /* Initialize information about the account that is used to access OSS. */
            
    /* Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. */
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    /* Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou. */
    std::string Region = "yourRegion";
    /* Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. */
    std::string BucketName = "examplebucket";
    /* Specify the name of the directory. The directory must end with a forward slash. Example: exampledir/. */
    std::string DirName = "exampledir/";

    /* Initialize resources such as network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    conf.signatureVersion = SignatureVersionType::V4;
    /* Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. */
    auto credentialsProvider = std::make_shared<EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider>();
    OssClient client(Endpoint, credentialsProvider, conf);
    client.SetRegion(Region);
    std::shared_ptr<std::iostream> content = std::make_shared<std::stringstream>();
    PutObjectRequest request(BucketName, DirName, content, ObjectMetaData());

    /* Create a directory. */
    auto outcome = client.PutObject(request);

    if (!outcome.isSuccess()) {
        /* Handle exceptions. */
        std::cout << "PutObject fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }

    /* Release resources such as network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}

Delete a directory

The following code provides an example on how to delete a directory named exampledir and all objects stored in the directory:

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
    /* Initialize information about the account that is used to access OSS. */
            
    /* Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. */
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    /* Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou. */
    std::string Region = "yourRegion";
    /* Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. */
    std::string BucketName = "examplebucket";    
    /* Enter the name of the directory that you want to delete. */
    std::string keyPrefix = "exampledir/";

    /* Initialize resources such as network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    conf.signatureVersion = SignatureVersionType::V4;
    /* Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. */
    auto credentialsProvider = std::make_shared<EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider>();
    OssClient client(Endpoint, credentialsProvider, conf);
    client.SetRegion(Region);

    std::string nextMarker = "";
    bool isTruncated = false;
    do {
            /* List objects. */
            ListObjectsRequest request(BucketName);           
            request.setPrefix(keyPrefix);
            request.setMarker(nextMarker);
            auto outcome = client.ListObjects(request);

            if (!outcome.isSuccess()) {
                /* Handle exceptions. */
                std::cout << "ListObjects fail" <<
                ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
                ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
                ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
                break;
            }
            for (const auto& object : outcome.result().ObjectSummarys()) {
                DeleteObjectRequest request(BucketName, object.Key());
                /* Delete the directory and all objects stored in the directory. */
                auto delResult = client.DeleteObject(request);
            }
            nextMarker = outcome.result().NextMarker();
            isTruncated = outcome.result().IsTruncated();
    } while (isTruncated);

    /* Release resources such as network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}
