upload.mdx

To upload to S3 from a data object, specify the key and the data object to be uploaded.

let dataString = "My Data"
let data = dataString.data(using: .utf8)!
let storageOperation = Amplify.Storage.uploadData(
    key: "ExampleKey",
    data: data,
    progressListener: { progress in
        print("Progress: \(progress)")
    }, resultListener: { event in
        switch event {
        case .success(let data):
            print("Completed: \(data)")
        case .failure(let storageError):
            print("Failed: \(storageError.errorDescription). \(storageError.recoverySuggestion)")
        }
    }
)

let dataString = "My Data"
let data = dataString.data(using: .utf8)!
let storageOperation = Amplify.Storage.uploadData(key: "ExampleKey", data: data)
let progressSink = storageOperation.progressPublisher.sink { progress in print("Progress: \(progress)") }
let resultSink = storageOperation.resultPublisher.sink {
    if case let .failure(storageError) = $0 {
        print("Failed: \(storageError.errorDescription). \(storageError.recoverySuggestion)")
    }
}
receiveValue: { data in
    print("Completed: \(data)")
}

When you have a file that you want to upload, you can specify the url to the file in the local parameter.

let dataString = "My Data"
let fileNameKey = "myFile.txt"
let filename = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
    .appendingPathComponent(fileNameKey)
do {
    try dataString.write(to: filename, atomically: true, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
} catch {
    print("Failed to write to file \(error)")
}

let storageOperation = Amplify.Storage.uploadFile(
    key: fileNameKey,
    local: filename,
    progressListener: { progress in
        print("Progress: \(progress)")
    }, resultListener: { event in
        switch event {
        case let .success(data):
            print("Completed: \(data)")
        case let .failure(storageError):
            print("Failed: \(storageError.errorDescription). \(storageError.recoverySuggestion)")
        }
    }
)

let dataString = "My Data"
let fileNameKey = "myFile.txt"
let filename = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
    .appendingPathComponent(fileNameKey)
do {
    try dataString.write(to: filename, atomically: true, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
} catch {
    print("Failed to write to file \(error)")
}

let storageOperation = Amplify.Storage.uploadFile(key: fileNameKey, local: filename)
let progressSink = storageOperation.progressPublisher.sink { progress in print("Progress: \(progress)") }
let resultSink = storageOperation.resultPublisher.sink {
    if case let .failure(storageError) = $0 {
        print("Failed: \(storageError.errorDescription). \(storageError.recoverySuggestion)")
    }
}
receiveValue: { data in
    print("Completed: \(data)")
}

Cancel, Pause, Resume

Calls to uploadData or uploadFile return a reference to the operation that is actually performing the upload.

To cancel the upload (for example, in response to the user pressing a Cancel button), you simply call cancel() on the upload operation.

func cancelUpload() {
    storageOperation.cancel()
}

You can also pause then resume the operation.

Note that pause internally uses the suspend api of NSURLSessionTask, which suspends the task temporarily and does not fully pause the transfer. Complete pausing of task is tracked in this Github issue - aws-amplify/aws-sdk-ios#3668

storageOperation.pause()
storageOperation.resume()

MultiPart upload

The upload will automatically perform a S3 multipart upload for files larger than 5MB. For more information about S3's multipart upload, see Uploading and copying objects using multipart upload
