How to upload files to aws s3 using nodejs lambda and api gateway 2022

You are looking for how to upload files to AWS s3 using nodejs lambda than you are at right place

before creating lambda function, you need to create api gateway for lambda function and then create lambda function and connect our api gateway to lambda function

you can see our api gateway in image down below

first go to lambda and create new function and write down the following code

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
AWS.config.update({ region: process.env.AWS_REGION });
const s3 = new AWS.S3();
const { v4: uuidv4 } = require('uuid');
const URL_EXPIRATION_SECONDS = 300;

 //Main Lambda entry point
exports.handler = async (event) => {
  return await getUploadURL(event);
};

const getUploadURL = async function(event) {
  console.log('event : ',event);
  const Key = uuidv4(); 

  //Get signed URL from S3
  const s3Params = {
    Bucket: 'bucketname',
    Key:`url-name/{Key}`,
    Expires: URL_EXPIRATION_SECONDS,
    ACL:'public-read'
  };
  const uploadURL = await s3.getSignedUrlPromise('putObject', s3Params);

  const response = {
        statusCode: 200,
        "headers": {
        "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
        "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "GET, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, PATCH, DELETE",
        "Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "x-access-token, Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept"
    },
        body: JSON.stringify({
          uploadURL: uploadURL,
          Key : `https://name.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/${Key}`
        })
    };

    return response

};

postman response
