Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev

Setting up AWS S3 for Image Uploads

Follow these steps to enable image uploading to an AWS S3 bucket in your Next.js application:

1. Create an S3 Bucket

• Go to the AWS S3 Management Console.
• Click on "Create bucket."
• Enter a unique bucket name and select the region from the URL (e.g., ca-central-1).
• Click "Create."

2. Set Up Environment Variables

Add the following environment variables to your .env file:

NEXT_PUBLIC_REGION=your-region
NEXT_PUBLIC_AWS_BUCKET=your-bucket-name
NEXT_PUBLIC_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-access-key-id
NEXT_PUBLIC_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret-access-key

3. Create an S3 Bucket Policy

Add the following policy to your S3 bucket's CORS configuration to allow cross-origin requests:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "PublicReadGetObject",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": "*",
            "Action": "s3:GetObject",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR_BUCKET_NAME/*"
        }
    ]
}

4. Configure Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)

[
    {
        "AllowedHeaders": [
            "*"
        ],
        "AllowedMethods": [
            "GET",
            "PUT",
            "POST",
            "DELETE",
            "HEAD"
        ],
        "AllowedOrigins": [
            "http://localhost:3000",
            "https://example.app",
            "http://example.com",
            "http://example.app"
        ],
        "ExposeHeaders": [],
        "MaxAgeSeconds": 3000
    }
]

Create IAM role

Additional Information

• Customize the CORS policy according to your application's needs, specifying the allowed headers, methods, and origins.
• For security reasons, restrict permissions in the S3 bucket policy based on your application's requirements.

With these steps completed, your Next.js application should be configured to upload images to your AWS S3 bucket.

Additional Information

• Customize the CORS policy according to your application's needs, specifying the allowed headers, methods, and origins.

• For security reasons, restrict permissions in the S3 bucket policy based on your application's requirements.

• Additionally, in the policy section, you can create policies for specific actions such as requests, updates, or deletes. It is not recommended to provide full access for the live environment.

• It is essential to carefully review and configure the bucket policy to ensure the security and integrity of your AWS S3 bucket.
