Object Store Walkthrough

NOTICE: Experimental Preview
Prerequisite: enabling JetStream
If you are running a local nats-server stop it and restart it with JetStream enabled using nats-server -js (if that's not already done)
You can then check that JetStream is enabled by using
nats account info
Which should output something like:
Connection Information:
​
               Client ID: 6
               Client IP: 127.0.0.1
                     RTT: 64.996µs
       Headers Supported: true
         Maximum Payload: 1.0 MiB
           Connected URL: nats://127.0.0.1:4222
       Connected Address: 127.0.0.1:4222
     Connected Server ID: ND2XVDA4Q363JOIFKJTPZW3ZKZCANH7NJI4EJMFSSPTRXDBFG4M4C34K
​
JetStream Account Information:
​
           Memory: 0 B of Unlimited
          Storage: 0 B of Unlimited
          Streams: 0 of Unlimited
        Consumers: 0 of Unlimited 
If you see the below instead then JetStream is not enabled
JetStream Account Information:
​
   JetStream is not supported in this account
Creating an Object Store bucket
Just like you need to create streams before you can use them you need to first create an Object Store bucket
nats object add myobjbucket
which outputs
myobjbucket Object Store Status
​
         Bucket Name: myobjbucket
            Replicas: 1
                 TTL: unlimitd
              Sealed: false
                Size: 0 B
  Backing Store Kind: JetStream
    JetStream Stream: OBJ_myobjbucket
Putting a file in the bucket
nats object put myobjbucket ~/Movies/NATS-logo.mov
1.5 GiB / 1.5 GiB [====================================================================================]
​
Object information for myobjbucket > /Users/jnmoyne/Movies/NATS-logo.mov
​
               Size: 1.5 GiB

Listing the objects in a bucket
nats object ls myobjbucket

Getting an object from the bucket
nats object get myobjbucket ~/Movies/NATS-logo.mov
1.5 GiB / 1.5 GiB [====================================================================================]
​
Wrote: 1.5 GiB to /Users/jnmoyne/NATS-logo.mov in 5.68s average 279 MiB/s
Removing an object from the bucket
nats object rm myobjbucket ~/Movies/NATS-logo.mov
? Delete 1.5 GiB byte file myobjbucket > /Users/jnmoyne/Movies/NATS-logo.mov? Yes
Removed myobjbucket > /Users/jnmoyne/Movies/NATS-logo.mov

Watching for changes to a bucket
nats object watch myobjbucket
[2022-04-13 17:51:28] PUT myobjbucket > /Users/jnmoyne/Movies/NATS-logo.mov: 1.5 GiB bytes in 12,656 chunks
[2022-04-13 17:53:27] DEL myobjbucket > /Users/jnmoyne/Movies/NATS-logo.mov
Sealing a bucket
You can seal a bucket, meaning that no further changes are allowed on that bucket
nats object seal myobjbucket
? Really seal Bucket myobjbucket, sealed buckets can not be unsealed or modified Yes
myobjbucket has been sealed

         Bucket Name: myobjbucket
            Replicas: 1
                 TTL: unlimitd
