We use S3 for a lot of our projects using the aws-s3 gem. One thing that has continually plagued me is copying objects from one bucket to another. Having rewritten this snippet of code twice already, I am placing it here for future reference. Enjoy.
1 class S3Object 2 def self.copy_across_buckets(src_bucket, src_key, dest_bucket, dest_key, options = {}) 3 original = open(url_for(src_key, src_bucket)) 4 default_options = {:content_type => original.content_type} 5 store(dest_key, original, dest_bucket, default_options.merge(options)) 6 acl(dest_key, dest_bucket, acl(src_key, src_bucket)) 7 end 8 9 def copy_to_bucket(dest_bucket, dest_key = nil, options = {}) 10 self.class.copy_across_buckets(bucket.name, key, dest_bucket, dest_key ? dest_key : key, options) 11 end 12 end
