How to get an object (image) from S3 using s3fs in NodeJs?

Question

I was able to put objects into my S3 bucket using the s3fs module , but I can't find a way to retrieve those objects. Specifically, I want to retrieve an object by it's key, and I want to get a URL of that object which I would send back to the client to be rendered in an img tag. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

When your bucket is mounted via S3FS, you could use shell command to retrieve files(objects) in the mountpoint, eg /mnt/bucket-name , and use system call to operate files include retrieving.
