# Golang

### 1. Install the Dependencies <a href="#id-1-install-the-dependencies" id="id-1-install-the-dependencies"></a>

To install the project dependencies, simply run the following command in your terminal:

```go
go mod init aws_s3
go get github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/s3
```

The following commands show how to retrieve the standard set of SDK modules to use in your application.

```go
go get github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2
go get github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config
```

### 2. Setup the Environment <a href="#id-2-setup-the-environment" id="id-2-setup-the-environment"></a>

We will be setting up two environment variables, `ACCESS_KEY` and `SECRET_KEY`, which are required to access the S3 Cloud Storage service. Assign the values of these variables to the values of your credential that you received.

```go
export ACCESS_KEY=<your-access-key>
export SECRET_KEY=<your-secret-key>
```

### 3. Minimal code example <a href="#id-3-list-all-buckets" id="id-3-list-all-buckets"></a>

```go
package main
 
import (
	"context"
	"log"
	"os"
	"strings"
 
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/aws"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/s3"
)
 
func main() {
	resolver := aws.EndpointResolverWithOptionsFunc(func(service, region string, options ...interface{}) (aws.Endpoint, error) {
		return aws.Endpoint{
			URL:           "S3_ENDPOINT_URL",
			SigningRegion: "us-east-1",
		}, nil
	})
 
	credentials := aws.CredentialsProviderFunc(func(ctx context.Context) (aws.Credentials, error) {
		return aws.Credentials{
			AccessKeyID:     "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
			SecretAccessKey: "YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY",
		}, nil
	})
 
	// Load config
	cfg, err := config.LoadDefaultConfig(context.TODO(),
		config.WithCredentialsProvider(credentials),
		config.WithEndpointResolverWithOptions(resolver),
	)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
 
	// Create an Amazon S3 service client
	s3Client := s3.NewFromConfig(cfg,
		func(o *s3.Options) {
			o.UsePathStyle = true
		},
	)
 
	filePath := "YOUR_FILE_PATH"
	// Get file name from filePath
	path := strings.Split(filePath, "/")
	fileName := path[len(path)-1]
 
	file, openErr := os.Open(filePath)
	if openErr != nil {
		log.Fatal(openErr)
	}
	defer file.Close()
	_, putErr := s3Client.PutObject(context.TODO(), &s3.PutObjectInput{
		Bucket: aws.String("YOUR_BUCKET_NAME"),
		Key:    aws.String(fileName),
		Body:   file,
	})
 
	if putErr != nil {
		panic(putErr)
	}
 
	log.Println("Successfully uploaded object")
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.decentrally.cloud/s3-cloud-storage-intro/sdks-and-clis/golang.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
