Beep Content Service

This service provides all the nitty-gritty details to manage content and object storage in Beep.

For now, these objects are :

• Message attachments
• Profile pictures
• Server banners and icons

How to use it ?

Here is the flow that you should implement if you want to upload files :

sequenceDiagram
    Client->>+Microservice: Ask to upload a file.
    Microservice->>+Content: Asks for presigned URL
    Content->>-Microservice: Presigned URL
    Microservice->>-Client: Upload URL
    Client ->>+ Content: Upload file through URL
    Content ->>- Client: Uploaded

Loading

First, inside your rust microservice, add the following dependency :

[dependencies]
reqwest = "0.12.24"

Then you can use the following code to get a presigned URL for uploading a file :

async fn fetch_presigned_url(bucket: &str, key: &str) -> Result<String> {
    let client = reqwest::Client::new();
    let url = format!("http://content.beep.com/profile_picture/index.jpg", bucket, key);
    let response = client.post(url)
        .json(&serde_json::json!({
            "action": "Put",
            "expires_in_ms": 1000
        }))
        .send()
        .await
        .expect("Failed to make request");

    let binding = response.json::<serde_json::Value>().await.unwrap();
    let url = binding["url"].as_str().unwrap();
    Ok(url)
}

You might need to expose this function to your client through a public API.

async fn app() -> Result<Router> {
    let router = Router::new()
        .route("/profile_picture/:key", get(get_profile_picture));
}
