s3-bucket-listing: A JavaScript repository from vlad-ro

Create nice directory listings for s3 buckets using only javascript and HTML.

The listing can be deployed on any site and can also be deployed into a bucket.

Inspiration from http://aws.amazon.com/code/Amazon-S3/1713

Live Demo

If you want to see an example of this script in action check out:

http://data.openspending.org/

Usage

Copy these 4 lines into the HTML file where you want the listing to show up:

<div id="navigation"></div>
<div id="listing"></div>

<!-- add jQuery - if you already have it just ignore this line -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<!-- the JS variables for the listing -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  // var S3BL_IGNORE_PATH = true;
  // var BUCKET_NAME = 'BUCKET';
  // var BUCKET_URL = 'https://BUCKET.s3-REGION.amazonaws.com';
  // var S3B_ROOT_DIR = 'SUBDIR_L1/SUBDIR_L2/';
  // var S3B_SORT = 'DEFAULT';
  // var EXCLUDE_FILE = 'index.html';  // change to array to exclude multiple files
  // var AUTO_TITLE = true;
  // var S3_REGION = 's3'; // for us-east-1
</script>

<!-- the JS to the do the listing -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://rufuspollock.github.io/s3-bucket-listing/list.js"></script>

We've provided an example index.html file you can just copy if you want.

How it works

The script downloads your XML bucket listing, parses it and simulates a webserver's text-based directory browsing mode.

`S3BL_IGNORE_PATH` variable

Valid options = false (default) or true

Setting this to false will cause URL navigation to be in this form:

http://data.openspending.org/worldbank/cameroon/

You will have to put the html code in your page html AND your error 404 document.

Setting this to true will cause URL navigation to be in this form:

http://data.openspending.org/index.html?prefix=worldbank/cameroon/

`BUCKET_URL` variable

Valid options = '' (default) or your bucket URL, e.g.

https://BUCKET.s3-REGION.amazonaws.com (both http & https are valid)

Do NOT put a trailing '/', e.g. https://BUCKET.s3-REGION.amazonaws.com/
Do NOT put S3 website URL, e.g. https://BUCKET.s3-website-REGION.amazonaws.com

This variable tells the script where your bucket XML listing is, and where the files are. If the variable is left empty, the script will use the same hostname as the index.html.

`BUCKET_NAME` variable

Valid options = '' (default) or your bucket name, e.g.

BUCKET

This option is designed to support access to S3 buckets in non-website mode, via both path-style and virtualhost-style access urls simultaneously, from the same index.html file.

NOTE: It is not recommended to use both BUCKET_URL and BUCKET_NAME in the same index.html file.

See the Amazon Documentation for details on the different url access formats.

The tables below attempt to highlight how BUCKET_NAME affects configuration and use cases.

Without using BUCKET_NAME:

Configuration	Result	Link
bucket_url is `undefined`; access url is virtualhost-based	Success	link
bucket_url is `undefined`; access url is path-based	Error (Ok, expected)	link
bucket_url is virtualhost-based; access url is virtualhost-based	Success	link
bucket_url is virtualhost-based; access url is path-based	Error (Fail)	link
bucket_url is path-based; access url is virtualhost-based	Error (Fail)	link
bucket_url is path-based; access url is path-based	Success	link

Using BUCKET_NAME to address the two failing configurations from above:

Configuration	Result	Link
bucket_name is set; access url is virtualhost-based	Success	link
bucket_name is set; access url is path-based	Success	link

`S3B_ROOT_DIR` variable

Valid options = '' (default) or 'SUBDIR_L1/' or 'SUBDIR_L1/SUBDIR_L2/' or etc.

Do NOT put a leading '/', e.g. '/SUBDIR_L1/'
Do NOT omit the trailing '/', e.g. 'SUBDIR_L1'

This will disallow navigation shallower than your set directory.

Note that this only disallows navigation to shallower directories, but NOT access. Any person with knowledge of the existence of bucket XML listings will be able to manually access those files.

Use Amazon S3 permissions to set granular file permissions.

`BUCKET_WEBSITE_URL` variable

This variable is optional. It allows you to modify the host used for link hrefs. You may want to use this if you have a custom domain name for your S3 bucket, or if you want to leverage things like "virtual files" (like 301 redirects).

Normally your links will point to <BUCKET_URL>/<KEY>. If specified, your links will point to <BUCKET_WEBSITE_URL>/<KEY> (but the list API calls will still use the configured BUCKET_URL);

`S3B_SORT` variable

This will sort your bucket listing. Variable options should be self-explanatory.

Valid options:

OLD2NEW
NEW2OLD
A2Z
Z2A
BIG2SMALL
SMALL2BIG

`EXCLUDE_FILE` variable

This variable is optional. It allows you to exclude a file (e.g. index.html) or a list of files from the file listings.

`AUTO_TITLE` variable

This variable is optional. It allows you to automatically set the title.

`S3_REGION` variable

This variable is optional. It allows you specify the S3 region that the bucket is in so that the BUCKET_URL and BUCKET_WEBSITE_URL variables will be configured automatcially.

The 'us-east-1' region is unique and would require this variable be set to 's3' for a bucket in that region, buckets in other regions would just have this set to 's3-' + their region name (e.g. 's3-eu-west-1').

E.g. setting S3_REGION to 's3' for a bucket named 'www.example.com' in the us-east-1 region would automatically set:

BUCKET_URL = 'http://www.example.com.s3.amazonaws.com' BUCKET_WEBSITE_URL = 'http://www.example.com'

Four Valid Configurations

Embed into your website
Use Amazon S3 in website mode with URL navigation
Use Amazon S3 in website mode with prefix mode (ignore_path mode)
Use Amazon S3 in non-website mode

1. Embed into your website

Mandatory settings:

      var S3BL_IGNORE_PATH = true;
      var BUCKET_URL = 'https://BUCKET.s3-REGION.amazonaws.com';

Copy the code into whatever file you want to act as your listing page.

2. Use Amazon S3 in website mode with URL navigation

Mandatory settings:

      var S3BL_IGNORE_PATH = false;
      var BUCKET_URL = 'https://BUCKET.s3-REGION.amazonaws.com';

Enable website hosting under Static website hosting in your S3 bucket settings.
Under Permissions grant Everyone the List and View permissions.
Under Permissions go to Edit CORS Configuration and add the configuration listed in the following section 'S3 website bucket permissions'
Enter index.html as your Index Document and Error Document.
Put index.html in your bucket.
Navigate to http://BUCKET.s3-website-REGION.amazonaws.com to access the script.

The -website- in the URL is important, as the non-website URL is what serves your XML Bucket List.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/WebsiteEndpoints.html#WebsiteRestEndpointDiff

A specific example for the EU west region:

Website endpoint: http://example-bucket.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/
S3 bucket endpoint (for RESTful calls): http://example-bucket.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/

Note that US east region is different in that the S3 bucket endpoint does not include a location spec but the website version does:

Website endpoint: http://example-bucket.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/
S3 bucket endpoint (for RESTful calls): http://example-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/

3. Use Amazon S3 in website mode with prefix mode (ignore_path mode)

Mandatory settings:

      var S3BL_IGNORE_PATH = true;
      var BUCKET_URL = 'https://BUCKET.s3-REGION.amazonaws.com';

Enable website hosting under Static website hosting in your S3 bucket settings.
Enter index.html as your Index Document (Error Document is not required).
Put index.html in your bucket.
Navigate to http://BUCKET.s3-website-REGION.amazonaws.com to access the script.

4. Use Amazon S3 in non-website mode

Mandatory settings:

      var S3BL_IGNORE_PATH = true;
      var BUCKET_NAME = 'BUCKET';

Put index.html in your bucket.
Access the bucket via either the virtualhost- or path-style url:
- https://BUCKET.s3-REGION.amazonaws.com
- https://s3-REGION.amazonaws.com/BUCKET

S3 website bucket permissions

You must setup the S3 website bucket to allow public read access.

Grant Everyone the List and View permissions:
Alternatively you can assign the following bucket policy if policies are your thing:

{
    "Version": "2008-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "AllowPublicRead",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "AWS": "*"
            },
            "Action": "s3:GetObject",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::{your-bucket-name}/*"
        }
    ]
}

Assign the following CORS policy

[
    {
        "AllowedHeaders": [
            "*"
        ],
        "AllowedMethods": [
            "GET"
        ],
        "AllowedOrigins": [
            "*"
        ],
        "ExposeHeaders": []
    }
]

Enabling HTTPS

You MUST use config 1 or 4. Amazon S3 doesn't support HTTPS in website mode.

Use https for your BUCKET_URL.

For config 4, navigate to your index.html's full path using https, e.g. https://BUCKET.s3-REGION.amazonaws.com/index.html

To stop browser warnings about displaying insecure content in secure mode:

Host the following 3 files in your website/bucket:
Edit index.html to point to your bucket's jquery.min.js & list.js file (using relative paths)
Edit list.js to point to your bucket's ajaxload-circle.gif

With config 4, you will then be utilising AmazonAWS' wildcard SSL (unfortunately it is SHA1 only).

S3 Bucket https only permissions (ie. deny http access)

This is only possible for config 1 or 4.

Set the following bucket policy

{
	"Version": "2012-10-17",
	"Statement": [
		{
			"Sid": "HTTPSOnly",
			"Effect": "Deny",
			"Principal": "*",
			"Action": "s3:*",
			"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::{your-bucket-name}/*",
			"Condition": {
				"Bool": {
					"aws:SecureTransport": false
				}
			}
		},
		{
			"Sid": "AllowPublicRead",
			"Effect": "Allow",
			"Principal": "*",
			"Action": "s3:GetObject",
			"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::{your-bucket-name}/*"
		},
		{
			"Sid": "AllowPublicList",
			"Effect": "Allow",
			"Principal": "*",
			"Action": "s3:ListBucket",
			"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::{your-bucket-name}"
		}
	]
}
