Method: Parse::File#initialize

Defined in:
lib/parse/model/file.rb

#initialize(name, contents = nil, mime_type = nil) ⇒ File

The initializer to create a new file supports different inputs. If the first paramter is a string which starts with ‘http’, we then download the content of the file (and use the detected mime-type) to set the content and mime_type fields. If the first parameter is a hash, we assume it might be the Parse File hash format which contains url and name fields only. If the first paramter is a Parse::File, then we copy fields over Otherwise, creating a new file requires a name, the actual contents (usually from a File.open(“local.jpg”).read ) and the mime-type

Parameters:

  • name (String)
  • contents (Object) (defaults to: nil)
  • mime_type (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Default see default_mime_type
