✨ Features

• ✅ Basic S3 operations (create/delete buckets, upload/download objects)
• 🔐 AWS Signature V4 authentication
• 🔌 Support for custom endpoints (MinIO, LocalStack, etc.)
• 📝 Pagination support for listing objects
• 📦 Convenient upload helpers for different content types:
  • String content upload
  • JSON serialization and upload
  • File system file upload
• 🛡️ Memory-safe implementation using Zig's standard library
• 🧪 Comprehensive test suite:
  • Unit tests for all components
  • Integration tests with MinIO
  • Test assets for real-world scenarios

🔧 Prerequisites

• Zig 0.13.0 or newer
• For integration testing: Docker (optional, for running MinIO)

📥 Installation

Add the package to your build.zig.zon:

.{
    .name = "your-project",
    .version = "0.1.0",
    .dependencies = .{
        .s3 = .{
            .url = "https://github.com/algoflows/zig-s3/archive/v0.2.0.tar.gz",
            // Don't forget to update hash after publishing
            .hash = "...",
        },
    },
}

Then in your build.zig:

const s3_dep = b.dependency("s3", .{
    .target = target,
    .optimize = optimize,
});
exe.addModule("s3", s3_dep.module("s3"));

🚀 Quick Start

const std = @import("std");
const s3 = @import("s3");

pub fn main() !void {
    var gpa = std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator(.{}){};
    defer _ = gpa.deinit();
    const allocator = gpa.allocator();

    // Initialize client
    var client = try s3.S3Client.init(allocator, .{
        .access_key_id = "your-key",
        .secret_access_key = "your-secret",
        .region = "us-east-1",
        // Optional: Use with MinIO or other S3-compatible services
        // .endpoint = "http://localhost:9000",
    });
    defer client.deinit();

    // Create bucket
    try client.createBucket("my-bucket");

    // Upload string content
    var uploader = client.uploader();
    try uploader.uploadString("my-bucket", "hello.txt", "Hello, S3!");
}

📚 API Reference

S3Client

The main client interface for S3 operations.

const client = try s3.S3Client.init(allocator, .{
    .access_key_id = "your-key",
    .secret_access_key = "your-secret",
    .region = "us-east-1",
    .endpoint = "http://localhost:9000", // Optional, for S3-compatible services
});

🪣 Bucket Operations

• createBucket(bucket_name: []const u8) !void
• deleteBucket(bucket_name: []const u8) !void
• listBuckets() ![]BucketInfo

📦 Object Operations

• putObject(bucket_name: []const u8, key: []const u8, data: []const u8) !void
• getObject(bucket_name: []const u8, key: []const u8) ![]const u8
• deleteObject(bucket_name: []const u8, key: []const u8) !void
• listObjects(bucket_name: []const u8, options: ListObjectsOptions) ![]ObjectInfo

📤 ObjectUploader

A helper for uploading different types of content:

var uploader = client.uploader();

// Upload string content
try uploader.uploadString("my-bucket", "hello.txt", "Hello, World!");

// Upload JSON data
const data = .{ .name = "example", .value = 42 };
try uploader.uploadJson("my-bucket", "data.json", data);

// Upload file from filesystem
try uploader.uploadFile("my-bucket", "image.jpg", "path/to/local/image.jpg");

⚠️ Error Handling

The library uses Zig's error union type for robust error handling:

Error Type	Description
S3Error.InvalidCredentials	Invalid AWS credentials
S3Error.BucketNotFound	Requested bucket doesn't exist
S3Error.ObjectNotFound	Requested object doesn't exist
S3Error.ConnectionFailed	Network or connection issues
S3Error.InvalidResponse	Unexpected response from S3 service

🧪 Testing

Unit Tests

Run the unit test suite:

zig build test

Integration Tests

Integration tests require a running MinIO instance:

1. Start MinIO:

docker run -p 9000:9000 minio/minio server /data

1. Run integration tests:

zig build integration-test

See tests/integration/README.md for detailed information about the integration tests.

🛠️ Development

• Written in Zig 0.13.0
• Uses only standard library (no external dependencies)
• Memory safe with proper allocation and cleanup
• Follows Zig style guide and best practices
