Introduction

In the previous tutorial, you learned how to set up your environment to use Serverless Functions with triggers to resize images from a bucket and push them to another one.

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
A Scaleway Project dedicated to this tutorial
A source bucket containing images
An empty destination bucket
A Scaleway queue with credentials

You will now learn how to deploy Serverless Functions and connect them using triggers.

Creating the BucketScan function

Create a folder named FunctionsTutorial on your desktop and access it.
Create a folder named BucketScan in this folder and access it.
Create and open the file BucketScan.js in a code editor of your choice.

Copy and paste the following code in the editor:

console.log("init");
const { S3Client, ListObjectsV2Command } = require("@aws-sdk/client-s3");
const { SQSClient, SendMessageCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-sqs");
// Get info from env variables
const S3_ACCESS_KEY = process.env.S3_ACCESS_KEY;
const S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID = process.env.S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID;
const SOURCE_BUCKET = process.env.SOURCE_BUCKET;
const S3_REGION = process.env.S3_REGION;
const SQS_ACCESS_KEY = process.env.SQS_ACCESS_KEY;
const SQS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = process.env.SQS_ACCESS_KEY_ID;
const QUEUE_URL = process.env.QUEUE_URL;
const SQS_ENDPOINT = process.env.SQS_ENDPOINT;
const S3_ENDPOINT = `https://s3.${S3_REGION}.scw.cloud`;
// Create Object Storage service object
const s3Client = new S3Client({
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
    secretAccessKey: S3_ACCESS_KEY,
  },
  endpoint: S3_ENDPOINT,
  region: S3_REGION
});
// Configure parameters for the listObjectsV2 Command
const input = {
  "Bucket": SOURCE_BUCKET
};
// Create SQS service
var sqsClient = new SQSClient({
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: SQS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
    secretAccessKey: SQS_ACCESS_KEY
  },
  region: "par",
  endpoint: SQS_ENDPOINT,
})
console.log("init Ok")
exports.handle = async (event, context, callback) => {
  const s3ListCommand = new ListObjectsV2Command(input);
  const s3List = await s3Client.send(s3ListCommand);
  const contents = s3List.Contents;
  const total = contents.length;
  contents.forEach(async function (content) {
    // Infer the image type from the file suffix.
    const srcKey = content.Key;
    const typeMatch = srcKey.match(/\.([^.]*)$/);
    if (!typeMatch) {
      console.error(`${srcKey}: Could not determine the image type.`)
    }
    const imageType = typeMatch[1].toLowerCase();
    // Check that the image type is supported
    if (["jpeg", "jpg", "png"].includes(imageType) !== true) {
      console.error(`${srcKey}: Unsupported image type: ${imageType}`)
    }
    else {
      try {
        var sendMessageCommand = new SendMessageCommand({
          QueueUrl: QUEUE_URL,
          MessageBody: srcKey,
        });
        var sendMessage = await sqsClient.send(sendMessageCommand);
        console.log(sendMessage.MessageId);
      } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
      }
    }
  });
  return {
    statusCode: 200,
    body: JSON.stringify({
      status: "Done",
      message: `All images from the bucket have been processed over ${total} files in the bucket`,
    }),
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
  };
};  
/* This is used to test locally and will not be executed on Scaleway Functions */
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'test') {
  import("@scaleway/serverless-functions").then(scw_fnc_node => {
    scw_fnc_node.serveHandler(exports.handle, 8080);
  });
}

Save the file and exit the editor.

Run the following command in the same terminal to initialize a new NPM project and create an empty package.json file:

npm init --yes

Run the following command to download the required dependencies and packages:

npm i @aws-sdk/client-s3 @aws-sdk/client-sqs @scaleway/serverless-functions

Run the following command in the same terminal to zip the content of the folder:

zip -r BucketScan.zip .

Creating the ImageTransform function

Create a folder named BucketScan in the FunctionsTutorial folder and access it.
Create a ImageTransform.js file and open it in a code editor of your choice:

Copy and paste the following code in the editor:

// Add dependencies
console.log("init");
const { S3Client, PutObjectCommand, GetObjectCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-s3");
const sharp = require("sharp");
// Get connexion information from secret environment variables
const S3_ACCESS_KEY=process.env.S3_ACCESS_KEY;
const S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=process.env.S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID;
const SOURCE_BUCKET=process.env.SOURCE_BUCKET;
const DESTINATION_BUCKET=process.env.DESTINATION_BUCKET;
const S3_REGION=process.env.S3_REGION;
const RESIZED_WIDTH=process.env.RESIZED_WIDTH;
const S3_ENDPOINT = `https://s3.${S3_REGION}.scw.cloud`;
let width = parseInt(RESIZED_WIDTH, 10);
if (width < 1 || width > 1000) {
  width = 200;
}
// Create Object Storage service object
const s3Client = new S3Client({
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
    secretAccessKey: S3_ACCESS_KEY,
  },
  endpoint: S3_ENDPOINT,
  region: S3_REGION
});
// Handler
exports.handle = async (event, context, callback) => {
  // Object key may have spaces or unicode non-ASCII characters.
  const srcKey = event.body;
  console.log(srcKey);
  const dstKey = "resized-" + srcKey;
  // Infer the image type from the file suffix.
  const typeMatch = srcKey.match(/\.([^.]*)$/);
  if (!typeMatch) {
    console.error(`${srcKey}: Could not determine the image type.`);
    return {
      statusCode: 500,
      body: JSON.stringify({
        status: "Error",
        message: `${srcKey}: Could not determine the image type.`,
      }),
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
    };
  }
  // Check that the image type is supported
  const imageType = typeMatch[1].toLowerCase();
  if (["jpeg", "jpg", "png"].includes(imageType) !== true) {
    console.error(`Unsupported image type: ${imageType}`);
    return {
      statusCode: 500,

      },
    };
  };
  // Download the image from the Object Storage source bucket.
  try {
    const input = {
      Bucket: SOURCE_BUCKET,
      Key: srcKey,
    };
    //var origimage = await s3.getObject(params).promise();
    const getObjectCommand = new GetObjectCommand(input);
    var getObjectResult = await s3Client.send(getObjectCommand);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    return error;
  }
  // Use the sharp module to resize the image.
  try {
    var sharpImg = sharp().resize({ width, withoutEnlargement: true })
    getObjectResult.Body.pipe(sharpImg);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    return error;

      Bucket: DESTINATION_BUCKET,
      Key: dstKey,
      Body: await sharpImg.toBuffer(),
      ContentType: "image",
    };
    const putObjectCommand = new PutObjectCommand(destinput);
    const putimage = await s3Client.send(putObjectCommand);
    console.log(putimage.VersionId)
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
    return error;
  }
  console.log(`Successfully resized ${SOURCE_BUCKET}/${srcKey} and uploaded it to ${DESTINATION_BUCKET}/${dstKey}`)
  return {
    statusCode: 201,
    body: JSON.stringify({
      status: "ok",
      message: `Image : ${srcKey} has successfully been resized and pushed to the bucket ${DESTINATION_BUCKET}`
    }),
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
  };
};
/* This is used to test locally and will not be executed on Scaleway Functions */
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'test') {
  import("@scaleway/serverless-functions").then(scw_fnc_node => {
    scw_fnc_node.serveHandler(exports.handle, 8081);
  });
