Security & Permissions

Path Security

All file paths are validated and normalized to prevent attacks:

typescript

// Automatically validates and normalizes paths

  bucket: 'documents',
  fromPath: 'folder/../sensitive.txt',  // Blocked
  toPath: 'folder/document.txt'         // Allowed
});

Permission Model

The service integrates with Supamode's permission system:

Read (select): View files and folders
Write (insert): Upload new files
Update: Rename and modify files
Delete: Remove files and folders

Bulk Permission Validation

Optimized permission checking for multiple files:

typescript

// Efficiently validates permissions for multiple files
const permissions = await storageService.getUserPermissions({
  bucket: 'documents',

  bucket: 'documents',
  path: 'reports/',
  search: 'annual',
  page: 1,
  limit: 25
});
console.log(result.contents);    // Array of files and folders

typescript

async getUserPermissions(params: {
  bucket: string;
  path: string;
}): Promise<{
  canRead: boolean;
  canUpdate: boolean;
  canDelete: boolean;
  canUpload: boolean;
}>

Example:

typescript

const permissions = await storageService.getUserPermissions({

});
if (permissions.canRead) {
  // User can view this file
}

File Operations

1. Rename File

Rename or move a file or folder.

typescript

async renameFile(params: {
  bucket: string;
  fromPath: string;
  toPath: string;
}): Promise<{ success: boolean }>

Security Features:

Path validation and normalization
Permission checks for both source and destination
Prevents directory traversal attacks

Example:

typescript

const result = await storageService.renameFile({
  bucket: 'documents',
  fromPath: 'reports/draft.pdf',
  toPath: 'reports/final.pdf'
});
if (result.success) {
  console.log('File renamed successfully');
}

2. Delete Files

typescript

async deleteFile(params: {
  bucket: string;
  paths: string[];
}): Promise<{ success: boolean }>

Security Features:

Batch path validation (max 50 files)
Bulk permission validation
Recursive folder deletion with safety limits
Protection against excessive deletion (max 1000 files)

Example:

typescript

const result = await storageService.deleteFile({
  bucket: 'documents',
  paths: [
    'reports/old-report.pdf',
    'temp/',  // Deletes entire folder
    'drafts/notes.txt'
  ]
});
if (result.success) {
  console.log('Files deleted successfully');
}

3. Get Download URL

Generate download URLs for files.

typescript

async getDownloadUrl(params: {
  bucket: string;
  path: string;
}): Promise<string>

Features:

Signed URL generation for private files
Public URL generation for public buckets

Example:

typescript

const downloadUrl = await storageService.getDownloadUrl({

});
// Use URL for download
window.open(downloadUrl, '_blank');

Folder Operations

1. Create Folder

Create new folders with proper security validation.

typescript

async createFolder(params: {
  bucket: string;
  folderName: string;
  parentPath?: string;
}): Promise<{ success: boolean }>

Security Features:

Folder name validation
Path normalization
Permission validation for target location
Prevents overwriting existing folders

Example:

typescript

const result = await storageService.createFolder({
  bucket: 'documents',
  folderName: 'Q4-Reports',
  parentPath: 'reports/2024'
});
if (result.success) {
  console.log('Folder created successfully');
}

2. Batch Folder Processing

The service handles recursive folder operations efficiently:

typescript

// Deleting a folder with contents
const result = await storageService.deleteFile({
  bucket: 'documents',
  paths: ['reports/2023/']  // Deletes folder and all contents
});

Safety Features:

Batch processing with size limits
Progress tracking for large operations
Error handling for individual file failures
Protection against infinite loops

URL Generation

1. Public URLs

Generate public URLs for files in public buckets.

typescript

async getPublicUrl(params: {
  bucket: string;
  path: string;
}): Promise<string>

Example:

typescript

const publicUrl = await storageService.getPublicUrl({
  bucket: 'public-assets',
  path: 'images/logo.png'
});
// URL can be used directly in <img> tags

2. Signed URLs

Generate temporary signed URLs for private files.

typescript

async getSignedUrl(params: {
  bucket: string;
  path: string;
  expiresIn?: number;
}): Promise<string>

Parameters:

expiresIn: Expiration time in seconds (default: 3600 = 1 hour)

Example:

typescript

const signedUrl = await storageService.getSignedUrl({
  bucket: 'private-documents',
  path: 'contracts/agreement.pdf',
  expiresIn: 7200  // 2 hours
});
// URL expires after 2 hours

Batch Operations

Bulk Permission Checking

Efficiently check permissions for multiple files:

typescript

// Automatically used by getBucketContents
const contents = await storageService.getBucketContents({
  bucket: 'documents',
  path: 'reports/'
});
// Each file includes permission information
contents.contents.forEach(file => {
  console.log(file.name, file.permissions);
});

Bulk File Operations

Handle multiple files in single operations:

typescript

// Delete multiple files efficiently
const result = await storageService.deleteFile({
  bucket: 'documents',
  paths: [
    'temp/file1.txt',
    'temp/file2.txt',
    'temp/file3.txt',
    'temp/folder/',
    'drafts/old-notes.txt'
  ]
});

Error Handling

Common Error Types

typescript

try {
  await storageService.deleteFile({
    bucket: 'documents',
    paths: ['protected/file.txt']
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.message.includes('permission')) {
    // Handle permission error
    console.error('No permission to delete file');
  } else if (error.message.includes('Too many files')) {
    // Handle batch size limit
    console.error('Too many files to delete at once');
  } else {
    // Handle other errors
    console.error('Storage operation failed:', error.message);
  }
}

Validation Errors

typescript

try {
  await storageService.renameFile({
    bucket: 'documents',
    fromPath: '../../../etc/passwd',  // Invalid path
    toPath: 'normal-file.txt'
  });
} catch (error) {
  // Path validation error
  console.error('Invalid file path:', error.message);
}

Permission Errors

typescript

try {
  await storageService.createFolder({
    bucket: 'restricted',
    folderName: 'new-folder'
  });
} catch (error) {
  // Permission validation error
  console.error('No permission to create folder:', error.message);
}

typescript

const signedUrl = await storageService.getSignedUrl({
  bucket: 'private-documents',
  path: 'contracts/agreement.pdf',
  expiresIn: 7200  // 2 hours
});
// URL expires after 2 hours

Batch Operations

Bulk Permission Checking

Efficiently check permissions for multiple files:

typescript

// Automatically used by getBucketContents
const contents = await storageService.getBucketContents({
  bucket: 'documents',
  path: 'reports/'
});
// Each file includes permission information
contents.contents.forEach(file => {
  console.log(file.name, file.permissions);
});

Bulk File Operations

Handle multiple files in single operations:

typescript

// Delete multiple files efficiently
const result = await storageService.deleteFile({
  bucket: 'documents',
  paths: [
    'temp/file1.txt',
    'temp/file2.txt',
    'temp/file3.txt',
    'temp/folder/',
    'drafts/old-notes.txt'
  ]
});

Error Handling

Common Error Types

typescript

try {
  await storageService.deleteFile({
    bucket: 'documents',
    paths: ['protected/file.txt']
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.message.includes('permission')) {
    // Handle permission error
    console.error('No permission to delete file');
  } else if (error.message.includes('Too many files')) {
    // Handle batch size limit
    console.error('Too many files to delete at once');
  } else {
    // Handle other errors
    console.error('Storage operation failed:', error.message);
  }
}

Validation Errors

typescript

try {
  await storageService.renameFile({
    bucket: 'documents',
    fromPath: '../../../etc/passwd',  // Invalid path
    toPath: 'normal-file.txt'
  });
} catch (error) {
  // Path validation error
  console.error('Invalid file path:', error.message);
}

Permission Errors

typescript

try {
  await storageService.createFolder({
    bucket: 'restricted',
    folderName: 'new-folder'
  });
} catch (error) {
  // Permission validation error
  console.error('No permission to create folder:', error.message);
}
