How to determine if object exists AWS S3 Node.JS s

Question

I need to check if a file exists using AWS SDK. Here is what I'm doing:

var params = {
    Bucket: config.get('s3bucket'),
    Key: path
};

s3.getSignedUrl('getObject', params, callback);

It works but the problem is that when the object doesn't exists, the callback (with arguments err and url) returns no error, and when I try to access the URL, it says "NoSuchObject".

Shouldn't this getSignedUrl method return an error object when the object doesn't exists? How do I determine if the object exists? Do I really need to make a call on the returned URL?

Answer 1

The simplest solution without try/catch block.

const exists = await s3
  .headObject({
    Bucket: S3_BUCKET_NAME,
    Key: s3Key,
  })
  .promise()
  .then(
    () => true,
    err => {
      if (err.code === 'NotFound') {
        return false;
      }
      throw err;
    }
  );

Promise.All without failure Synchronous Operation

var request = require("request");
var AWS = require("aws-sdk");

AWS.config.update({
    accessKeyId: "*******",
    secretAccessKey: "***********"
});


const s3 = new AWS.S3();


var response;

function initialize(bucket,key) {
    // Setting URL and headers for request
    const params = {
        Bucket: bucket,
        Key: key
    };
    // Return new promise 
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        s3.headObject(params, function(err, resp, body) {  
            if (err) {  
                resolve(key+"/notfound");
            } else{
                resolve(key+"/found");
            }
          })
    })
}

function main() {

    var foundArray = new Array();
    var notFoundArray = new Array();
    var prefix = 'abc/test/';
    var promiseArray = [];
    try{
    for(var i=0;i<10;i++)
    {
        var key = prefix +'1234' + i;
        console.log("Key : "+ key);
        promiseArray[i] = initialize('bucket',key);
        promiseArray[i].then(function(result) {
            console.log("Result : " + result);
            var temp = result.split("/");
            console.log("Temp :"+ temp);
            if (temp[3] === "notfound")
            {
                console.log("NOT FOUND");
            }else{
                console.log("FOUND");
            }

        }, function(err) {
            console.log (" Error ");
        });
    }

    Promise.all(promiseArray).then(function(values) {
        console.log("^^^^^^^^^^^^TESTING****");
      }).catch(function(error) {
          console.error(" Errro : "+ error);
      });




}catch(err){
    console.log(err);
}


}

main();
