pomartel/middleman-s3_redirect

Simplifies setting up redirects on S3 via Middleman.

Middleman::S3Redirect

AWS S3 allows redirects to occur directly from an S3 object. This gem automates configuring AWS S3 to redirect from one path to another.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'middleman-s3_redirect'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install middleman-s3_redirect

Usage

You need to add the following code to your config.rb file:

activate :s3_redirect do |config|
  config.bucket                = 'my.bucket.com' # The name of the S3 bucket you are targetting. This is globally unique.
  config.region                = 'us-west-1'     # The AWS region for your bucket.
  config.aws_access_key_id     = 'AWS KEY ID'
  config.aws_secret_access_key = 'AWS SECRET KEY'
  config.after_build           = false # We chain after the build step by default. This may not be your desired behavior...
end

The redirect method register a redirect:

redirect '/old/path', '/new/path'

You can then configure S3 to redirect these path by running middleman s3_redirect.

Providing AWS Credentials

There are a few ways to provide the AWS credentials for s3_redirect:

Through config.rb

You can set the aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key in the block that is passed to the activate method.

Through .s3_sync File

You can create a .s3_sync at the root of your middleman project. The credentials are passed in the YAML format. The keys match the options keys.

The .s3_sync file takes precedence to the configuration passed in the activate method.

A sample .s3_sync file is included at the root of this repo.

Through Environment

You can also pass the credentials through environment variables. They map to the following values:

Setting	Environment Variable
aws_access_key_id	ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID']
aws_secret_access_key	ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']

The environment is used when the credentials are not set in the activate method or passed through the .s3_sync configuration file.

A Debt of Gratitude

I used Middleman Sync as a template for building a Middleman extension. The code is well structured and easy to understand and it was easy to extend it to add my synchronization code. My gratitude goes to @karlfreeman and is work on Middleman sync.

Many thanks to Junya Ogura for multiple pull requests improving this gem.
