This topic describes how to delete single or multiple objects using OSS SDK for Harmony.

Usage notes

Sample code

Delete a single object

import Client, { RequestError } from '@aliyun/oss';

// Create an OSS client instance.
const client = new Client({
  // Specify the AccessKey ID obtained from STS.
  accessKeyId: 'yourAccessKeyId',
  // Specify the AccessKey secret obtained from STS.
  accessKeySecret: 'yourAccessKeySecret',
  // Specify the STS token obtained from STS.
  securityToken: 'yourSecurityToken',
  // 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 oss-cn-hangzhou.
  region: 'oss-cn-hangzhou',
});

// Specify the name of the bucket.
const bucket = 'yourBucketName';
// Specify the name of the object that you want to delete.
const key = 'yourObjectName';

/**
 * Delete the specified object. 
 * Use the deleteObject method. 
 */
const deleteObject = async () => {
  try {
    // Use the deleteObject method to delete the object from the bucket.
    const res = await client.deleteObject({
      bucket, // Specify the name of the bucket.
      key, // Specify the name of the object.
    });

    // Display the result of the deletion.
    console.log(JSON.stringify(res));
  } catch (err) {
    // Capture exceptions.
    if (err instanceof RequestError) {
      // If known types of errors exist, display information, such as the error code, error message, request ID, HTTP status code, and EC.
      console.log('code: ', err.code); // The error code.
      console.log('message: ', err.message); // The error message.
      console.log('requestId: ', err.requestId); // The request ID.
      console.log('status: ', err.status); // The HTTP status code.
      console.log('ec: ', err.ec); // The EC.
    } else {
      // Display other unknown types of errors.
      console.log('unknown error: ', err);
    }
  }
};

// Call the deleteObject function to delete the object.
deleteObject();

Delete multiple objects

import Client, { RequestError } from '@aliyun/oss';

// Create an OSS client instance.
const client = new Client({
  // Specify the AccessKey ID obtained from STS.
  accessKeyId: 'yourAccessKeyId',
  // Specify the AccessKey secret obtained from STS.
  accessKeySecret: 'yourAccessKeySecret',
  // Specify the STS token obtained from STS.
  securityToken: 'yourSecurityToken',
  // 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 oss-cn-hangzhou.
  region: 'oss-cn-hangzhou',
});

// Specify the name of the bucket.
const bucket = 'yourBucketName';

/**
 * Delete multiple objects at a time. 
 * Use the deleteMultipleObjects method to delete multiple objects from the bucket. 
 */
const deleteMultipleObjects = async () => {
  try { 
    // Call the deleteMultipleObjects method to delete multiple objects.
    const res = await client.deleteMultipleObjects({
      bucket, // Specify the name of the bucket.
      delete: {
        // Specify the names of the objects to be deleted.
        object: [
          { key: 'yourObjectName1' }, // The first object name.
          { key: 'yourObjectName2' }, // The second object name.
          { key: 'yourObjectName3' }, // The third object name.
        ],
      },
    });

    // Display the result of the deletion.
    console.log(JSON.stringify(res));
  } catch (err) {
    // Capture exceptions.
    if (err instanceof RequestError) {
      // If known types of errors exist, display information, such as the error code, error message, request ID, HTTP status code, and EC.
      console.log('code: ', err.code); // The error code.
      console.log('message: ', err.message); // The error message.
      console.log('requestId: ', err.requestId); // The request ID.
      console.log('status: ', err.status); // The HTTP status code.
      console.log('ec: ', err.ec); // The EC.
    } else {
      // Display other unknown types of errors.
      console.log('unknown error: ', err);
    }
  }
};

// Call the deleteMultipleObjects function to perform the deletion.
deleteMultipleObjects();
