You need to upload an image from a mobile device to a Rails application which uses Paperclip.
Your model might look similar to this:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name
has_attached_file :image,
styles: {
small: '90x90#',
medium: '160x120#',
large: '300x200#',
} And you want to be able to upload user images.
You need to add the following to your model:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
def image_data=(data_value)
StringIO.open(Base64.strict_decode64(data_value)) do |data|
data.class.class_eval { attr_accessor :original_filename, :content_type }
data.original_filename = "temp#{DateTime.now.to_i}.png"
data.content_type = "image/png" #TODO: get content type from file
self.image = data
end
Voila!
