Class Attribute Details

.allow_downloads_fromArray[String], :all

A list of names which identify backends in the global backend registry. The Rack application allows GET requests to only the backends specified in this config option. This defaults to ‘:all`, allowing files from all backends to be downloaded.

Returns:

  • (Array[String], :all)


103
104
105
# File 'lib/refile.rb', line 103

def allow_downloads_from
  @allow_downloads_from
end

.allow_originString

Value for Access-Control-Allow-Origin header

Returns:

  • (String)


113
114
115
# File 'lib/refile.rb', line 113

def allow_origin
  @allow_origin
end

.allow_uploads_toArray[String], :all

A list of names which identify backends in the global backend registry. The Rack application allows POST requests to only the backends specified in this config option. This defaults to ‘[“cache”]`, only allowing direct uploads to the cache backend.

Returns:

  • (Array[String], :all)

# File 'lib/refile.rb', line 95

def allow_uploads_to
  @allow_uploads_to
end

.appRefile::App?

A shortcut to the instance of the Rack application. This should be set when the application is initialized. ‘refile/rails` sets this value.

Returns:



43
44
45
# File 'lib/refile.rb', line 43

def app
  @app
end

.app_hostString?

The host name that the Rack application can be reached at. If not set, Refile will use an absolute URL without hostname. You should only change this setting if you are running the Refile app on a different domain than your main application.

If you are simply running the Refile app behind a CDN you’ll want to change cdn_host instead.

The difference between app_host and cdn_host is that the latter only affects URLs generated by file_url and the Refile::AttachmentHelper#attachment_url and Refile::AttachmentHelper#attachment_image_tag helpers, whereas the former also affects upload_url, presign_url and the Refile::AttachmentHelper#attachment_field helper.

Returns:

  • (String, nil)

# File 'lib/refile.rb', line 75

def app_host
  @app_host
end

.automountBoolean

Should the rack application be automounted in a Rails app?

If set to false then Refile.app should be mounted in the Rails application routes.rb with the options ‘at: Refile.mount_point, as: :refile_app`

The default is true.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)


133
134
135
# File 'lib/refile.rb', line 133

def automount
  @automount
end

.cdn_hostString?

The host name of a CDN distribution that the Rack application can be reached at. If not set, Refile will use an absolute URL without hostname. It is strongly recommended to run Refile behind a CDN and to set this to the hostname of the CDN distribution.

The ‘cdn_host` setting is used when retrieving files, but not when uploading new files, since uploads should normally not go through the CDN.

A protocol relative URL is recommended for this value.

Returns:

  • (String, nil)

# File 'lib/refile.rb', line 57

Class Method Details

.app_url(host: nil, prefix: nil) ⇒ String

Generates a URL to the Refile application.

The host defaults to app_host. You can also override the host via the ‘host` option. Normally the Refile app will not be mounted at the root but rather at some other path, the `prefix` option allows you to override this setting, and if not set it will fall back to mount_point.

Examples:

Refile.app_url

With host and prefix

Refile.app_url(host: "http://some.domain", prefix: "/refile")

Parameters:

  • host (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Override the host

  • prefix (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Adds a prefix to the URL if the application is not mounted at root

Returns:

  • (String)

    The generated URL

end

.attachment_presign_url(object, name, host: nil, prefix: nil) ⇒ String

Receives an instance of a class which has used the Refile::Attachment#attachment macro to generate an attachment column, and the name of this column, and based on this generates a URL to a App where a presign object for the backend can be retrieved.

Examples:

Refile.attachment_presign_url(@post, :document)

Parameters:

  • object (Refile::Attachment)

    Instance of a class which has an attached file

  • name (Symbol)

    The name of the attachment column

end

.attachment_upload_url(object, name, host: nil, prefix: nil) ⇒ String

Receives an instance of a class which has used the Refile::Attachment#attachment macro to generate an attachment column, and the name of this column, and based on this generates a URL to a App where files can be uploaded.

.attachment_url(object, name, *args, expires_at: nil, host: nil, prefix: nil, filename: nil, format: nil, force_download: nil) ⇒ String?

Generate a URL to an attachment. Receives an instance of a class which has used the Refile::Attachment#attachment macro to generate an attachment column, and the name of this column, and based on this generates a URL to a App.

Optionally the name of a processor and arguments to it can be appended.

If the filename option is not given, the filename is taken from the metadata stored in the attachment, or eventually falls back to the ‘name`.

The host defaults to cdn_host, which is useful for serving all attachments from a CDN. You can also override the host via the ‘host` option.

Returns ‘nil` if there is no file attached.

.presign_url(backend, host: nil, prefix: nil) ⇒ String

Receives a Refile backend and returns a URL to the Refile application where a presign object for the backend can be retrieved.

Parameters:

  • backend (Refile::Backend)

    The backend to generate a URL for

  • host (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Override the host

  • prefix (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Adds a prefix to the URL if the application is not mounted at root

end

.processor(name, processor = nil) {|Refile::File| ... } ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Adds a processor. The processor must respond to ‘call`, both receiving and returning an IO-like object. Alternatively a block can be given to this method which also receives and returns an IO-like object.

An IO-like object is recommended to be an instance of the ‘IO` class or one of its subclasses, like `File` or a `StringIO`, or a `Refile::File`. It can also be any other object which responds to `size`, `read`, `eof`? `rewind` and `close` and mimics the behaviour of IO objects for these methods.

Examples:

With processor class

class Reverse
  def call(file)
    StringIO.new(file.read.reverse)
  en
end
Refile.processor(:reverse, Reverse)

With block

Refile.processor(:reverse) do |file|
  StringIO.new(file.read.reverse)
end

Parameters:

  • name (#to_s)

    The name of the processor

  • processor (Proc, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    The processor, must respond to ‘call` and.

Yields:

Yield Returns:

  • (IO)

    An IO-like object representing the processed file

.processorsHash{String => Proc}
