I am using Play 2.3 and want to store the uploaded files to S3, so I use Play-S3 module.
However, I got stuck because I need to create a BucketFile to upload to S3 with this module, and a BucketFile is created using an Array[Byte] in memory of the file. The Play! body parser gives me a temporary on disc file. How can I put this file into BucketFile?
Here is my controller Action:
def upload = Action.async(parse.multipartFormData) { implicit request =>
request.body.file("file").map{ file =>
implicit val credential = AwsCredentials.fromConfiguration
val bucket = S3("bucketName")
val result = bucket + BucketFile(file.filename, file.contentType.get, file.ref.file.toString.getBytes)
result.map{ unit =>
Ok("File uploaded")
}
}.getOrElse {
Future.successful {
Redirect(routes.Application.index).flashing(
"error" -> "Missing file"
)
}
}
}
This code does not work because file.ref.file.toString()
does not really return the string representation of a file.
