## Quick Start

```go
package main

import (
    "log"
    "os"
    "github.com/rhnvrm/simples3"
)

func main() {
    // Initialize S3 client

    // Upload a file
    file, err := os.Open("my-file.txt")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer file.Close()

    resp, err := s3.FileUpload(simples3.UploadInput{
        Bucket:      "my-bucket",
        ObjectKey:   "my-file.txt",
        ContentType: "text/plain",
        FileName:    "my-file.txt",
        Body:        file,
    })
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    log.Printf("File uploaded successfully: %+v", resp)
}
```

## API Reference

### Bucket Operations

#### List All Buckets
```go
// List all buckets for the AWS account
result, err := s3.ListBuckets(simples3.ListBucketsInput{})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Printf("Found %d buckets:\n", len(result.Buckets))
for _, bucket := range result.Buckets {
    fmt.Printf("- %s (created: %s)\n", bucket.Name, bucket.CreationDate)
}

// Owner information is also available
fmt.Printf("Owner: %s (%s)\n", result.Owner.DisplayName, result.Owner.ID)
```

#### Create a Bucket
```go
// Create a new bucket
output, err := s3.CreateBucket(simples3.CreateBucketInput{
    Bucket: "my-new-bucket",
    Region: "us-east-1", // Optional, defaults to client region
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Printf("Bucket created at: %s\n", output.Location)
```

#### Delete a Bucket
```go
// Delete an empty bucket
err := s3.DeleteBucket(simples3.DeleteBucketInput{
    Bucket: "my-old-bucket",
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Note: The bucket must be empty before deletion
```

### File Operations

#### Upload Files
```go
// POST upload (recommended for browsers)
resp, err := s3.FileUpload(simples3.UploadInput{
    Bucket:      "my-bucket",
    ObjectKey:   "path/to/file.txt",
    ContentType: "text/plain",
    FileName:    "file.txt",
    Body:        file,
})

// PUT upload (simpler for programmatic use)
resp, err := s3.FilePut(simples3.UploadInput{
    Bucket:      "my-bucket",
    ObjectKey:   "path/to/file.txt",
    ContentType: "text/plain",
    Body:        file,
})
```

#### Download Files
```go
// Download file
file, err := s3.FileDownload(simples3.DownloadInput{
    Bucket:    "my-bucket",
    ObjectKey: "path/to/file.txt",
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer file.Close()

// Read the content
data, err := io.ReadAll(file)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
```

#### Delete Files
```go
err := s3.FileDelete(simples3.DeleteInput{
    Bucket:    "my-bucket",
    ObjectKey: "path/to/file.txt",
})
```

#### Copy Objects
```go
// Copy object within same bucket
output, err := s3.CopyObject(simples3.CopyObjectInput{
    SourceBucket: "my-bucket",
    SourceKey:    "original/file.txt",
    DestBucket:   "my-bucket",
    DestKey:      "copied/file.txt",
})

// Copy across buckets
output, err := s3.CopyObject(simples3.CopyObjectInput{
    SourceBucket: "source-bucket",
    SourceKey:    "file.txt",
    DestBucket:   "dest-bucket",
    DestKey:      "file.txt",
})

// Copy with metadata replacement
output, err := s3.CopyObject(simples3.CopyObjectInput{
    SourceBucket:      "my-bucket",
    SourceKey:         "file.txt",
    DestBucket:        "my-bucket",
    DestKey:           "file-copy.txt",
    MetadataDirective: "REPLACE",
    ContentType:       "application/json",
    CustomMetadata:    map[string]string{"version": "2"},
})
```

#### Batch Delete Files
```go
// Delete multiple objects in one request (up to 1000)
output, err := s3.DeleteObjects(simples3.DeleteObjectsInput{
    Bucket:  "my-bucket",
    Objects: []string{"file1.txt", "file2.txt", "file3.txt"},
    Quiet:   false,
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Check results
for _, deleted := range output.Deleted {
    fmt.Printf("Deleted: %s\n", deleted.Key)
}
for _, errItem := range output.Errors {
    fmt.Printf("Failed to delete %s: %s\n", errItem.Key, errItem.Message)
}
```

#### Get File Details
```go
details, err := s3.FileDetails(simples3.DetailsInput{
    Bucket:    "my-bucket",
    ObjectKey: "path/to/file.txt",
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

log.Printf("File size: %s bytes", details.ContentLength)
log.Printf("Last modified: %s", details.LastModified)
log.Printf("Content type: %s", details.ContentType)
```

### List Objects

SimpleS3 provides a clean, easy-to-use List API that follows the same pattern as other library methods:

#### Simple Listing
```go
// List all objects in a bucket
result, err := s3.List(simples3.ListInput{
    Bucket: "my-bucket",
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Printf("Found %d objects:\n", len(result.Objects))
for _, obj := range result.Objects {
    fmt.Printf("- %s (%d bytes)\n", obj.Key, obj.Size)
}
```

#### Advanced Listing with Options
```go
// List with prefix filtering and pagination
result, err := s3.List(simples3.ListInput{
    Bucket:    "my-bucket",
    Prefix:    "documents/",
    Delimiter: "/",
    MaxKeys:   100,
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Process objects
for _, obj := range result.Objects {
    fmt.Printf("%s (%d bytes)\n", obj.Key, obj.Size)
}

// Process "directories" (common prefixes)
for _, prefix := range result.CommonPrefixes {
    fmt.Printf("%s/\n", prefix)
}
```

#### Iterator-based Listing (Go 1.23+)
```go
// Use the new ListAll method for memory-efficient iteration
s3 := simples3.New("us-east-1", "your-access-key", "your-secret-key")

// Iterate over all objects with automatic pagination and error handling
seq, finish := s3.ListAll(simples3.ListInput{
    Bucket: "my-bucket",
    Prefix: "documents/", // Optional filtering
})

for obj := range seq {
    fmt.Printf("%s (%d bytes)\n", obj.Key, obj.Size)
}

// Check for any errors that occurred during iteration
if err := finish(); err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Error during iteration: %v", err)
}
```

#### Handle Pagination (Legacy)
```go
// Handle large result sets with pagination
func listAllObjects(s3 *simples3.S3, bucket string) ([]simples3.Object, error) {
    var allObjects []simples3.Object
    var continuationToken string

    for {
        // List objects with continuation token
        result, err := s3.List(simples3.ListInput{
            Bucket:            bucket,
            ContinuationToken: continuationToken,
            MaxKeys:          1000, // Maximum page size
        })
        if err != nil {
            return nil, err
        }

        // Add current page objects to our collection
        allObjects = append(allObjects, result.Objects...)

        // Check if there are more pages
        if !result.IsTruncated {
            break
        }

        // Set token for next page
        continuationToken = result.NextContinuationToken
    }

    return allObjects, nil
}

// Usage example
func main() {
    s3 := simples3.New("us-east-1", "your-access-key", "your-secret-key")

    allObjects, err := listAllObjects(s3, "my-bucket")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("Total objects: %d\n", len(allObjects))
    for _, obj := range allObjects {
        fmt.Printf("- %s (%d bytes)\n", obj.Key, obj.Size)
    }
}
```

### Presigned URLs

Generate secure URLs for browser-based uploads/downloads:

```go
// Generate presigned URL for download
url := s3.GeneratePresignedURL(simples3.PresignedInput{
    Bucket:        "my-bucket",
    ObjectKey:     "private-file.pdf",
    Method:        "GET",
    ExpirySeconds: 3600, // 1 hour
})

// Users can now download directly: <a href="{{url}}">Download</a>
```

### Custom Endpoints

Use with MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, or other S3-compatible services:

```go
// MinIO
s3 := simples3.New("us-east-1", "minioadmin", "minioadmin")
s3.SetEndpoint("http://localhost:9000")

// DigitalOcean Spaces
s3 := simples3.New("nyc3", "your-access-key", "your-secret-key")
s3.SetEndpoint("https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com")
```

### IAM Credentials

On EC2 instances, use IAM roles automatically:

```go
s3, err := simples3.NewUsingIAM("us-east-1")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
// Automatically uses instance IAM role
```
