Is there a possibility to save just the key to the DB?

[kevman]

How can I save just the key without the scheme, bucket name and S3 domain name?

Currently the only way is to parse it our of the URL.

var parser = document.createElement('a');
parser.href = url;
var key = parser.pathname;

Will look into making this easier in a future release.

Is this for a CDN?

[kevman]

Ok. Thank you!

In the future I would like to use AWS Lambda to resize images. But to work with AWS Lambda I need 2 buckets and I need to save just the key name without the extra stuff. So I can switch buckets.

[gsuess]

OK, I will expose an API for accessing that information.

Actually there is already a better way than above to obtain the key, albeit cumbersome:

var key = _.findWhere(uploader.instructions.postData, {name: "key"}).value;

[kevman]

Perfect, I tried the code and it works! But as you said, it's a little bit cumbersome. Thank you!

How is this working now? Is this correct (I couldn't try it yet)?

var key = uploader.param('key');

[gsuess]

yes, that's correct.

For some reason I can't get it to work. uploader.instructions is undefined and uploader.param('key') is not returning anything either. What am I missing ?

var uploads = _.map(files, function (file) {
    var uploader = new Slingshot.Upload("uploads");
    uploader.send(file, function (error, downloadUrl) {
      if (error) {
        throw new Meteor.Error(500, error.message);
      }

      var doc = {
        size: file.size,
        url: downloadUrl,
        key: // ??
        type: event.target.fileType.value
      };
    });

    return uploader;
  });
