V2 gcp file provider

Introduction

This module integrates Google Cloud Storage as a file provider for Medusa v2. It allows you to store, serve, and manage files (such as images, documents, and import/export files) directly in a Google Cloud Storage bucket from your Medusa store.

With this plugin, you can:

• Store product images and other assets in Google Cloud Storage.
• Control file access (public/private) at the object level.
• Use the same bucket for both public and private files.

Compatibility

This module/plugin is compatible with versions >= 2.4.0 of @medusajs/medusa.

Google Cloud Storage Bucket Configuration

Important:
Your Google Cloud Storage bucket must be created with Access control set to Fine-grained. This is required because:

• Some files (like product images) need to be public.
• Other files (like import/export data) must remain private.
• Fine-grained access control allows you to set permissions at the individual file (object) level, so you can mix public and private files in the same bucket.

Do not enable "Enforce public access prevention" on the bucket. This setting must be disabled to allow public files to be accessible when needed.

For more details, see Google Cloud Storage Access Control.

Service Account Setup

To allow Medusa to access your Google Cloud Storage bucket, you need to create a dedicated service account and generate a JSON key for it. This service account will be used by Medusa to upload, update, delete files, and manage their visibility in your bucket.

Steps to Create a Service Account and JSON Key

1. Go to the Google Cloud Console.
2. Create a new service account (or select an existing one).
3. Grant the following roles to the service account:

• Storage Object Admin (roles/storage.objectAdmin):
  This role allows the service account to create, update, delete, and manage the access control of objects in the bucket.

4. Create and download a JSON key for the service account:

• In the service account details, go to the "Keys" tab.
• Click "Add Key" > "Create new key" > select "JSON" > "Create".
• Download and securely store the JSON key file.

Important:
Never commit your service account JSON key to version control. Treat it as a secret.

You will use the contents of this JSON key in your Medusa configuration as shown in the Installation section above.

Installation

1. Install the package

npm install @igorppbr/medusa-v2-gcp-file-provider

2. Add the module to your medusa-config.ts

   {
    modules: [
      {
        resolve: "@medusajs/medusa/file",
        options: {
          providers: [
            {
              resolve: "@igorppbr/medusa-v2-gcp-file-provider",
              options: {
                debug: true, // Show debug logs
                bucketName: "medusatest", // The name of the bucket in Google Cloud Storage
                serviceAccountKey: { // The service account key for Google Cloud Storage
                  "type": "service_account",
                  "project_id": "your-project-id",
                  "private_key_id": "***************",
                  "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n***************\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
                  "client_email": "your-service-account@your-project-id.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
                  "client_id": "***************",
                  "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
                  "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
                  "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
                  "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/your-service-account@your-project-id.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
                }
              },
            }
          ]
        }
    }
  ]
}

Note: Replace the credentials above with your own service account key. Never commit your real credentials to version control.

Usage

Once configured, Medusa will use Google Cloud Storage for file uploads and downloads. You can control the access level (public/private) for each file as needed.
