Masa is inspired by the bucket storage gem by Gocardless

An abstraction layer on the top of file cloud storage systems such as Google Cloud Storage or S3. This module exposes a generic interface that allows interoperability between different storage options. Callers don't need to worry about the specifics of where and how a file is stored and retrieved as long as the given key is valid.

Keys within Masa are URI strings that can universally locate an object in the given provider. A valid key example would be gcs://a-gcs-bucket/file/path.json.

This library is distributed as a Go package, and we recommend adding it to your Go mod:

go get "github.com/ogwurujohnson/masa"

The main principle behind Masa is that each resource or group of resources must be unequivocally identifiable by a URI. The URI is always composed of three parts:

• the "adapter" used to fetch the resource (see "adapters" below)
• the "bucket" where the resource lives
• the path to the resource(s)

As an example, all the following are valid URIs:

• gcs://gcs-bucket/path/to/file.xml
• s3://bucket/separator/file.xml

Even though Masa's main goal is to be an abstraction layer on top of systems such as S3 or Google Cloud Storage where the "path" to a resource is in practice a unique identifier as a whole (i.e. the / is not a directory separator but rather part of the key's name), we assume that clients will actually want some sort of hierarchical separation of resources and assume that such separation is achieved by defining each part of the hierarchy via /.

This means that the following are also valid URIs in Masa but they refer to all the resources under that specific hierarchy:

• gcs://gcs-bucket/path/subpath/
• s3://bucket/separator/

Masa comes with 2 built-in adapters:

• gcs: the Google Cloud Storage adapter
• s3: the S3 adapter

This is the adapter for Google Cloud Storage. Masa assumes that the authorization for accessing the resources has been set up outside of the gem.

This is the adapter for S3. Masa assumes that the authorization for accessing the resources has been set up outside of the gem (see also https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-ruby/v3/api/index.html#Configuration).

bucket.For("gcs://bucket/path/file.xml").Upload(context.Background(), "hello world")
=> "gcs://bucket/path/file.xml"

bucket.For("gcs://bucket/path/file.xml").Download(context.Background())
=> {bucket: "bucket", key: "path/file.xml", content: "hello world"}

bucket.For("gcs://bucket/path/").List(context.Background(), 3000)
=> ["gcs://bucket/path/file.xml"]

bucket.For("gcs://bucket/path/file.xml").Delete(context.Background())
=> true
