Ruby Swift Examples¶
Create a Connection¶
This creates a connection so that you can interact with the server:
require 'cloudfiles'
username = 'account_name:user_name'
api_key = 'your_secret_key'
conn = CloudFiles::Connection.new(
:username => username,
:api_key => api_key,
:auth_url => 'http://objects.dreamhost.com/auth'
)
Create a Container¶
This creates a new container called my-new-container
container = conn.create_container('my-new-container')
Create an Object¶
This creates a file hello.txt
from the file named my_hello.txt
obj = container.create_object('hello.txt')
obj.load_from_filename('./my_hello.txt')
obj.content_type = 'text/plain'
List Owned Containers¶
This gets a list of Containers that you own, and also prints out the container name:
conn.containers.each do |container|
puts container
end
The output will look something like this:
mahbuckat1
mahbuckat2
mahbuckat3
List a Container’s Contents¶
This gets a list of objects in the container, and prints out each object’s name, the file size, and last modified date:
require 'date' # not necessary in the next version
container.objects_detail.each do |name, data|
puts "#{name}\t#{data[:bytes]}\t#{data[:last_modified]}"
end
The output will look something like this:
myphoto1.jpg 251262 2011-08-08T21:35:48.000Z
myphoto2.jpg 262518 2011-08-08T21:38:01.000Z
Retrieve an Object¶
This downloads the object hello.txt
and saves it in
./my_hello.txt
:
obj = container.object('hello.txt')
obj.save_to_filename('./my_hello.txt')
Delete a Container¶
Note
The container must be empty! Otherwise the request won’t work!
container.delete_container('my-new-container')
