NestJS module for Cloudflare R2 storage integration with S3-compatible API

Package Exports

  • nestjs-r2
  • nestjs-r2/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (nestjs-r2) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Quick Start

1. Register the Module

Synchronous Registration

import { Module } from "@nestjs/common";
import { R2Module } from "nestjs-r2";

@Module({
  imports: [
    R2Module.register({
      accountId: "your-cloudflare-account-id",
      accessKeyId: "your-r2-access-key-id",
      secretAccessKey: "your-r2-secret-access-key",
      bucket: "your-bucket-name",
      publicUrl: "https://your-public-domain.com", // optional
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Asynchronous Registration

Using Factory Function
import { Module } from "@nestjs/common";
import { ConfigModule, ConfigService } from "@nestjs/config";
import { R2Module } from "nestjs-r2";

@Module({
  imports: [
    ConfigModule.forRoot(),
    R2Module.registerAsync({
      imports: [ConfigModule],
      useFactory: (configService: ConfigService) => ({
        accountId: configService.get("CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID"),
        accessKeyId: configService.get("R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID"),
        secretAccessKey: configService.get("R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"),
        bucket: configService.get("R2_BUCKET"),
        publicUrl: configService.get("R2_PUBLIC_URL"),
      }),
      inject: [ConfigService],
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}
Using Configuration Class
import { Injectable, Module } from "@nestjs/common";
import { ConfigService } from "@nestjs/config";
import { R2Module, R2ModuleOptions, R2OptionsFactory } from "nestjs-r2";

@Injectable()
export class R2ConfigService implements R2OptionsFactory {
  constructor(private configService: ConfigService) {}

  createR2Options(): R2ModuleOptions {
    return {
      accountId: this.configService.get("CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID"),
      accessKeyId: this.configService.get("R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID"),
      secretAccessKey: this.configService.get("R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"),
      bucket: this.configService.get("R2_BUCKET"),
      publicUrl: this.configService.get("R2_PUBLIC_URL"),
    };
  }
}

@Module({
  imports: [
    R2Module.registerAsync({
      useClass: R2ConfigService,
    }),
  ],
  providers: [R2ConfigService],
})
export class AppModule {}
Using Existing Service
import { Module } from "@nestjs/common";
import { R2Module } from "nestjs-r2";
import { MyExistingConfigService } from "./my-existing-config.service";

@Module({
  imports: [
    R2Module.registerAsync({
      useExisting: MyExistingConfigService,
    }),
  ],
  providers: [MyExistingConfigService],
})
export class AppModule {}

2. Use the Service

import { Injectable } from "@nestjs/common";
import { R2Service } from "nestjs-r2";

@Injectable()
export class FileService {
  constructor(private readonly r2Service: R2Service) {}

  async uploadFile(file: Express.Multer.File) {
    const result = await this.r2Service.upload(file);
    return {
      key: result.key,
      url: result.url, // Public URL if configured
    };
  }

  async downloadFile(key: string) {
    const stream = await this.r2Service.get(key);
    return stream;
  }

  async deleteFile(key: string) {
    const result = await this.r2Service.delete(key);
    return result;
  }
}

3. Complete Controller Example

import {
  Controller,
  Post,
  Get,
  Delete,
  Param,
  UseInterceptors,
  UploadedFile,
  Res,
} from "@nestjs/common";
import { FileInterceptor } from "@nestjs/platform-express";
import { Response } from "express";
import { R2Service } from "nestjs-r2";

@Controller("files")
export class FileController {
  constructor(private readonly r2Service: R2Service) {}

  @Post("upload")
  @UseInterceptors(FileInterceptor("file"))
  async uploadFile(@UploadedFile() file: Express.Multer.File) {
    const result = await this.r2Service.upload(file);
    return {
      message: "File uploaded successfully",
      key: result.key,
      url: result.url,
    };
  }

  @Get(":key")
  async downloadFile(@Param("key") key: string, @Res() res: Response) {
    try {
      // Option 1: Use the streamToResponse helper method (recommended for production)
      await this.r2Service.streamToResponse(key, res);
    } catch (error) {
      res.status(500).json({ error: "Failed to download file" });
    }
  }

  // Option 2: Use pipeToResponse for simpler error handling
  @Get("simple/:key")
  async downloadFileSimple(@Param("key") key: string, @Res() res: Response) {
    try {
      await this.r2Service.pipeToResponse(key, res);
    } catch (error) {
      res.status(500).json({ error: "Failed to download file" });
    }
  }

  // Option 3: Alternative approach using the get method directly
  @Get("direct/:key")
  async downloadFileDirect(@Param("key") key: string, @Res() res: Response) {
    try {
      const stream = await this.r2Service.get(key);
      stream.pipe(res as unknown as NodeJS.WritableStream);
    } catch (error) {
      res.status(500).json({ error: "Failed to download file" });
    }
  }

  @Delete(":key")
  async deleteFile(@Param("key") key: string) {
    const result = await this.r2Service.delete(key);
    return {
      message: "File deleted successfully",
      ...result,
    };
  }

  // Upload R2 file to another service (e.g., Cloudinary)
  @Post("transfer/:key")
  async transferToCloudinary(@Param("key") key: string) {
    try {
      // Option 1: Get as buffer
      const buffer = await this.r2Service.getAsBuffer(key);

      // Upload to Cloudinary (example)
      // const cloudinaryResult = await cloudinary.uploader.upload_stream(
      //   { resource_type: "auto" },
      //   (error, result) => { ... }
      // ).end(buffer);

      // Option 2: Get as UploadedFile object
      const uploadedFile = await this.r2Service.getAsUploadedFile(key);
      // Now you can use uploadedFile with any service that accepts UploadedFile

      return { message: "File transferred successfully" };
    } catch (error) {
      throw new InternalServerErrorException("Transfer failed");
    }
  }
}

API Reference

R2Service

upload(file: any): Promise<{ key: string; url: string | null }>

Uploads a file to R2 storage.

Parameters:

  • file: File object with originalname, buffer, and mimetype properties

Returns:

  • key: Generated unique key for the file
  • url: Public URL if publicUrl is configured, otherwise null

get(key: string): Promise<Readable>

Downloads a file from R2 storage and returns a Node.js Readable stream.

Parameters:

  • key: The file key

Returns:

  • Readable: A Node.js Readable stream that can be piped to a response

Note: This method will never return undefined. If the file is not found, it will throw a NotFoundException.

streamToResponse(key: string, response: any): Promise<void>

Downloads a file from R2 storage and pipes it directly to a response object with proper error handling.

Parameters:

  • key: The file key
  • response: The response object (Express or Fastify response)

Returns:

  • Promise<void>: Resolves when the stream is fully piped to the response

Recommended Usage: This method handles all the stream piping and error handling for you.

pipeToResponse(key: string, response: any): Promise<void>

Downloads a file from R2 storage and pipes it directly to a response object with basic error handling and completion tracking.

Parameters:

  • key: The file key
  • response: The response object (Express or Fastify response)

Returns:

  • Promise<void>: Resolves when the file is fully piped to the response

Usage: This is a simpler alternative to streamToResponse with basic error handling. Use this when you need straightforward file serving with completion tracking but don't require comprehensive error handling.

Difference from streamToResponse:

  • streamToResponse: Full error handling for both stream and response errors (recommended for production)
  • pipeToResponse: Basic stream error handling, simpler implementation, still tracks completion

getAsBuffer(key: string): Promise<Buffer>

Downloads a file from R2 storage and returns it as a Buffer. Perfect for uploading to other services.

Parameters:

  • key: The file key

Returns:

  • Buffer: The file content as a Buffer that can be used with other APIs

Example Usage:

// Get file as buffer for uploading to Cloudinary
const buffer = await this.r2Service.getAsBuffer("my-file-key");

// Upload to Cloudinary
const cloudinaryResult = await cloudinary.uploader
  .upload_stream({ resource_type: "auto" }, (error, result) => {
    if (error) throw error;
    console.log("Uploaded to Cloudinary:", result.secure_url);
  })
  .end(buffer);

getAsUploadedFile(key: string, originalName?: string): Promise<UploadedFile>

Downloads a file from R2 storage and returns it as an UploadedFile object compatible with other upload services.

Parameters:

  • key: The file key
  • originalName: Optional original filename (defaults to the key)

Returns:

  • UploadedFile: A file object that can be used with other upload methods

Example Usage:

// Get file as UploadedFile object
const uploadedFile = await this.r2Service.getAsUploadedFile(
  "my-file-key",
  "photo.jpg"
);

// Now you can pass this to any service that accepts UploadedFile
await someOtherUploadService.upload(uploadedFile);

getMetadata(key: string): Promise<{ contentType?: string; contentLength?: number; lastModified?: Date }>

Gets file metadata without downloading the full file content.

Parameters:

  • key: The file key

Returns:

  • contentType: The MIME type of the file
  • contentLength: The size of the file in bytes
  • lastModified: When the file was last modified

delete(key: string): Promise<{ deleted: boolean }>

Deletes a file from R2 storage.

  • Readable: Node.js readable stream

delete(key: string): Promise<{ deleted: boolean }>

Deletes a file from R2 storage.

Parameters:

  • key: The file key

Returns:

  • deleted: Boolean indicating success
