## Direct-to-S3 uploads in a Node.js application running on Heroku
Simple example demonstrating how to accomplish a direct upload to Amazon's S3 in a Node.js web application.
This example uses the [express](http://expressjs.com/) web framework to facilitate request-handling. However, the process of signing the S3 PUT request would be identical in most Node apps.
This code is mostly ready to be run as cloned, but a function will need to be properly defined to handle the storing of the POSTed information. The current example simply demonstrates the upload to S3.
## Dependencies and Installation
Ensure Node is installed. This can be done through your package manager or from their [website](http://nodejs.org/).
Clone this repository:
```term
$ git clone https://github.com/flyingsparx/NodeDirectUploader.git
```
Change directory into the application and use `npm` to install the application's dependencies:
```term
$ cd NodeDirectUploader
$ npm install
```
## Running the application
* Set environment variables for your AWS access key, secret, and bucket name (see [companion article](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/s3-upload-node))
* Run `node app`
* Visit [localhost:3000/account](http://localhost:3000/account) to try it out
## Deploying the application
See the article [Deploying with Git](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git) for more detailed information on deploying to Heroku.
* Download and install the [Heroku toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/)
* Commit your application to a local Git repository (e.g. `git init`, `git add .`, `git commit -m "version 1 commit"`, etc.)
* Create the application on Heroku by adding a Git remote (`$ heroku create`)
* Push your code to the new Heroku repo (`$ git push heroku master`)
