Overview

Takes care of the file upload for cards with attached files. Most of the upload behaviour depends on the card itself. (e.g. card type and storage option chosen for the card). So in contrary to CarrierWave's default uploader we depend very much on the model (= card object) to get the correct paths for retrieving and storing the file.

Cards that support attachments (by default those are cards of type "file" and "image") accept a file handle as a card attribute.

It's possible to upload files using a url. The card attribute for that is remote__url

Storage types

You can choose between four different storage options

  • coded: These files are in the codebase, like the default logo. Every view is a wagn request.
  • local: Uploaded files which are stored in a local upload directory (upload path is configurable via config.paths["files"]). If read permissions are set such that "Anyone" can read, then there is a symlink from the public directory. Otherwise every view is a wagn request.
  • cloud: You can configure buckets that refer to an external storage service. Link is rendered as absolute url
  • web: A fixed url (to external source). No upload or other file processing. Link is just the saved url.

Currently, there is no web interface that let's a user or administrator choose a storage option for a specific card or set of cards. There is only a global config option to set the storage type for all new uploads (config.storage_type). On the *admin card it's possible to update all existing file cards according to the current global config.

Storage types for single cards can be changed by developers using the card attributes "storage_type", "bucket", and "mod".

Depending on the storage type the uploader uses the following paths and identifiers.

Identifier (stored in the database as db_content)

  • coded: :codename/mod_name.ext
  • local: ~card_id/action_id.ext
  • cloud: (bucket)/card_id/action_id.ext
  • web: http://url

Storage path

  • coded: mod_dir/file/codename/type_code(-variant).ext (no colon on codename!)
  • local: files_dir/card_id/action_id(-variant).ext (no tilde on id!)
  • cloud: bucket/bucket_subdir/id/action_id(-variant).ext
  • web: no storage

Variants are only used for images. Possible options are icon|small|medium|large|original. files_dir, bucket, and bucket_subdir can be changed via config options.

Supported url patterns

mark.ext mark/revision.ext mark/revision-variant.ext /files/mark/revision-variant.ext # <- public symlink if readable by # "Anyone"

can be one of the following options

  • ~
  • :

is the mod name if the file is coded or and action_id in any case

Examples: *logo.png ~22/33-medium.png # local :yeti_skin/standard-large.png # coded

Examples:

Attaching a file to a file card

Card.create name: "file card", type: :file,
            file: File.new(path_to_file)

Attaching a image to a image card

Card.create name: "file card", type: :image,
            image: File.new(path_to_image)

Create a file card using a remote url

Card.create name: "file_card", type: :file,
            remote_file_url: "http://a.file.in/the.web"

Updating a image card using a remote url

card.update_attributes remote_image_url: "http://a.image/somewhere.png"

Creating a hard-coded file

Card.create name: "file card", type_id: Card::FileID,
            file: File.new(path),
            storage_type: :coded, mod: "account"

Moving a file to a cloud service

# my_deck/config/application.rb:
config.file_buckets = {
  aws_bucket: {
    provider: "fog/aws",
    directory: "bucket-name",
    subdirectory: "files",
    credentials: {
       provider: 'AWS'                         # required
       aws_access_key_id: 'key'                # required
       aws_secret_access_key: 'secret-key'     # required
    public: true,
   }
}

# wagn console or rake task:
card.update_attributes storage_type: :cloud, bucket: :aws_bucket

Creating a file card with fixed external link

Card.create name: "file card", type_id: Card::FileID,
            content: "http://animals.org/cat.png"
            storage_type: :web

Card.create name: "file card", type_id: Card::FileID,
            file: "http://animals.org/cat.png"
            storage_type: :web

#db_content(opts = {}) ⇒ Object

generate identifier that gets stored in the card's db_content field

Parameters:

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

#store_path(for_file = nil) ⇒ Object

Carrierwave calls store_path without argument when it stores the file and with the identifier from the db when it retrieves the file. In our case the first part of our identifier is not part of the path but we can construct the filename from db data. So we don't need the identifier.
