How to delete an object from an Edge Storage bucket

Requirements

• Azion CLI installed.
• A personal token configured.

To delete an object:

azion delete edge-storage object --bucket-name bucketname  --object-key objectname

You can create an edge function to delete an object:

1. Access Azion Console > Edge Functions.
2. Click the + Edge Function button.
3. Name your function. Example: delete_object.
4. In the Code tab, add the following JavaScript code:

import Storage from "azion:storage";

async function handleRequest(event) {
    const bucket = "mybucket";
    const storage = new Storage(bucket);
    const key = "test";
    try{
        await storage.delete(key);
    }catch(error){
        return new Response(error, {status:500});
    }
    return new Response("Ok");
}

addEventListener("fetch", (event) => {
    event.respondWith(handleRequest(event));
});

5. Click the Save button.

Once you have the edge function ready, you need to create an edge application that will proxy the deleting process for the bucket and instantiate the edge function.

To delete an object, run the following DELETE request in your terminal, replacing [TOKEN VALUE] with your personal token, <bucket_name> with the name of your bucket, <object_key> with an ID or name for the object:

curl --location --request DELETE 'https://api.azion.com/v4/storage/buckets/<bucket_name>/objects/<object_key>' --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]'

You should receive the following response:

{
  "state": "executed",
  "data": {
    "object_key": "people-100.txt"
  }
}
