Using External Storage

Section titled “Using External Storage”

By default, File Processor apps use the filesFolder as a temporary folder to store large responses. For better scalability and serverless deployments, use the global fileStore configuration:

index.js
configuration.fileStore = {
  async storeFile(content) {
    // Store file and return reference
    return fileReference;
  },
  async getFile(fileRef) {
    // Retrieve file by reference
    return fileBuffer;
  },
  async deleteFile(fileRef) {
    // Delete file by reference
  }
};

See External File Storage for detailed configuration.

Per-Module Configuration

Section titled “Per-Module Configuration”

You can also override storage per file processor module:

index.js
configuration.{file-process-type}.storeFile = (content) => {
  // logic to store file, e.g. put it to AWS S3
  return '<url-to-download>';
};

For AWS Lambda, set AWS_REGION and AWS_TMP_BUCKET_NAME environment variables, or configure:

index.js
configuration.awsConfig = {
  tmpBucketName: 'tmpBucketName',
  region: 'region'
};
