MatthewDaniels / Upload file to S3 - Multipart
Last active January 9, 2022 23:24
Use this as a structure to send a file to S3. It uses the AWS Javascript SDK - unfortunately, without using requires js, all other builds failed aside from the CDN provided version here: https://sdk.amazonaws.com/js/aws-sdk-2.2.33.min.js
// NOTE: it is suggested that you use very limited credentials
// a good solution is to create an IAM user in AWS that has only PUT rights to S3
// use a temporary bucket that has an expiry (24hrs or something low)
// once the file is uploaded get your server to move the file to another bucket that has much less
// restricted rights.
// See: readme for more info
// setup the credentials
AWS.config.update({
accessKeyId: accessKeyId,

Internet Explorer < version 9 background resize less mixin. An easy way to get css background-size: cover in internet explorer versions 8 and lower. Add it to your mixins less file and reference wherever you need it.
