Discover more about the Google Storage component and how to use it on the Digibee Integration Platform.

Google Storage allows a connection with the Google Storage service to be established and enables the following operations with files: List, Download, Upload and Delete.

Parameters

Take a look at the configuration parameters of the component. Parameters supported by Double Braces expressions are marked with (DB).

Parameter

Operation to be executed, which can be List, Download, Upload, or Delete.

Upload

String

Project ID

ID of the project where the operation with the file will be made.

projectId

Bucket Name

This resource represents a bucket in the Google Cloud Storage - there's only one namespace shared by all the buckets.

bucketName

String

Page Size

This parameter is only available when the List operation is selected and informs the amount of items to be returned when the List operation is used.

If the value isn’t specified, all the items will be returned. If there’re more items than the amount determined in this parameter, it’s possible to request a second page (check Page Token), which returns the rest of the items.

Integer

Page Token

This parameter is only available when the List operation is selected and sets the token used to request the next page when the List operation is used. In this next page, the amount of items defined in the Page Size parameter is returned.

String

Remote File Name (DB)

Name of the remote file or relative path (e.g., tmp/file.txt) for the remote file. This parameter is displayed in the Download, Upload, and Delete operations.

pdf-test.pdf

String

Remote Directory

Base remote directory, which can be relative (e.g., pub/tmp) or absolute (e.g., /root/pub), where the selected operation will be made. This parameter is displayed in the List, Download, Upload, and Delete operations.

Fail On Error

If the option is enabled, the execution of the pipeline with an error will be interrupted; otherwise, the pipeline execution proceeds, but the result will show a false value for the “success” property.

False

Boolean

Messages flow

Input

No specific input message is expected, but the filling of the mandatory parameters that vary according to the selected operation. See below the mandatory parameters for each operation:

  • List: Account, Project ID, Bucket Name

  • Download: Account, Project ID, Bucket Name, File Name, and Remote File Name

  • Upload: Account, Project ID, Bucket Name, File Name, and Remote File Name

  • Delete: Account, Project ID, Bucket Name, and Remote File Name

For the Update operation, there must be a file in the pipeline local directory.

Output

When executing the component with the List operation, the following JSON structure will be generated:

{
  "content": [
    {
      "name": "temp//tmp/processed/file-3.txt",
      "contentType": "application/octet-stream",
      "contentEncoding": null,
      "createTime": 1581689153448,
      "bucket": "test-bucket",
      "size": 10
    },
    { ... }
  ],
  "pageToken": "XXXXXXXXXXXXL3RtcC9wcm9jZXNzZWQvZmlsZS0zLnR4dA==",
  "fileName": null,
  "remoteFileName": null,
  "remoteDirectory": "",
  "success": true
}

  • content: an array of objects for each file found.

  • name: name of the remote file.

  • contentType: MIME type of the file.

  • contentEncoding: encoding of the file, if it exists.

  • createTime: timestamp of the file creation date.

  • bucket: bucket where the file is found.

  • size: size of the file in bytes.

  • pageToken: token to recover the next page.

  • fileName: name of the local file.

  • remoteFileName: name of the remote file.

  • remoteDirectory: name of the base remote folder.

  • success: "true" if the last operation has been successful.

  • error: is displayed if there’s been an error and Fail on Error is "false".

When executing the component with the Download, Upload and Delete operations, the following JSON structure is generated:

{
  "fileName": "file.txt",
  "remoteFileName": "tmp/iso-8859-1-test.txt",
  "remoteDirectory": "",
  "success": true
}

  • fileName: name of the local file.

  • remoteFileName: name of the remote file.

  • remoteDirectory: name of the base remote folder.

  • success: "true" if the last operation has been successful.

The files manipulation inside a pipeline occurs in a protected way. All the files can be accessed with a temporary directory only, where each pipeline key gives access to its own files set.

Google Storage in Action

List of files

Input

Parameters

  • Account: google-storage-test

  • Operation: List

  • Project ID: digibee-test

  • Bucket Name: digibee-test-digibee-test-bucket

  • Remote Directory: DGB-413

  • Page Size: 2

Output

{
  "content": [
    {
      "name": "DGB-413/",
      "contentType": "text/plain",
      "contentEncoding": null,
      "createTime": 1552394033410,
      "bucket": "digibee-test-digibee-test-bucket",
      "size": 11
    },
    {
      "name": "DGB-413/iso8859-2.txt",
      "contentType": "text/plain",
      "contentEncoding": null,
      "createTime": 1552395963553,
      "bucket": "digibee-test-digibee-test-bucket",
      "size": 55
    }
  ],
  "pageToken": "ChVER0ItNDEzL2lzbzg4NTktMi50eHQ=",
  "fileName": null,
  "remoteFileName": null,
  "remoteDirectory": "DGB-413",
  "success": true
}

As it can be seen, the result above returns the "pageToken" property with a value of reference for the next page. This property will be returned when the Page Size parameter is configured (in the example it’s defined with the value 2) and also when there’re more files to be listed.
