Table of Contents

Requirements

  • ruby 2.7+
  • Ruby on Rails 6.0+

Installation

Using Gemfile

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "uploadcare-rails"

And then execute:

$ bundle install

If you use api_struct gem in your project, replace it with uploadcare-api_struct:

gem 'uploadcare-api_struct'

and run bundle install

Using command line

$ gem install uploadcare-rails

Usage

Configuration

To start using Uploadcare API you just need to set your API keys (public key and secret key). These keys can be set as ENV variables using the export directive:

$ export UPLOADCARE_PUBLIC_KEY=your_public_key
$ export UPLOADCARE_SECRET_KEY=your_private_key

Or you can use popular gems like dotenv-rails for setting ENV variables. You must set the gem before uploadcare-rails like this :

gem "dotenv-rails", require: "dotenv/rails-now", groups: [:development, :test]
gem "uploadcare-rails"

:warning: require: "dotenv/rails-now" is very important!

Run the config generator command to generate a configuration file:

$ rails g uploadcare_config

The generator will create a new file in config/initializers/uploadcare.rb.

The public key must be specified in config/initializers/uploadcare.rb to use Uploadcare file upload. This step is done automatically in the initializer if you set the ENV variable UPLOADCARE_PUBLIC_KEY earlier.

...
Uploadcare::Rails.configure do |config|
  # Sets your Uploadcare public key.
  config.public_key = ENV.fetch("UPLOADCARE_PUBLIC_KEY", "your_public_key")
  ...
end

There are also some options set by default:

...
# Deletes files from Uploadcare servers after object destroy.
config.delete_files_after_destroy = true

# Sets caching for Uploadcare files
config.cache_files = true

# Available locales currently are:
# ar az ca cs da de el en es et fr he it ja ko lv nb nl pl pt ro ru sk sr sv tr uk vi zhTW zh
config.locale = "en"

# If true, inputs on your page are initialized automatically, see the article for details -
# https://uploadcare.com/docs/file-uploader-api/widget-initialization/
config.live = true

# If true, input initialization is invoked manually.
# See https://uploadcare.com/docs/file-uploader-api/widget-initialization/).
config.manual_start = false

Then you can configure all global variables such as files storing/caching, deleting files, etc. Full list of available options is listed in the file itself. Just uncomment an option and set the value.

Uploadcare File Uploader

Widget

Using CDN

The fastest way to start using file uploading is to add the Uploadcare widget to the html-page. There is a view helper that can do it with two strings of code:

Add this string to your <head> html-tag

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>RailsApp</title>
  <%= uploadcare_include_tag %>
  <!--
    results in:
    <script src="https://ucarecdn.com/libs/widget/3.x/uploadcare.full.min.js"></script>
    <script>
      //<![CDATA[
      UPLOADCARE_PUBLIC_KEY = "your_public_key";
      UPLOADCARE_LOCALE = "en";
      UPLOADCARE_LIVE = true;
      UPLOADCARE_MANUAL_START = false;
      //]]>
    </script>
  -->
</head>
...

This helper uses a CDN-url for the widget bundle and supports three options:

  • version — version of the Uploadcare widget. Default is "3.x".
  • bundle — bundle name. Available names are "full", "default", "api", "ie8" and "lang.en". Default bundle is "full" — a full bundle with built-in jQuery. More info about bundles here.
  • min — bool value detecting if the bundle must be minified.

The <head> tag then also includes the <script> with widget global settings set in config/initializers/uploadcare.rb. You can override them later in an individual widget.

Using asset pipeline.

Download and append widget manually to your asset pipeline. You may download (e.g. https://ucarecdn.com/libs/widget/3.x/uploadcare.full.min.js) and serve the widget yourself along with your other assets.

Using NPM

Installing via NPM instructions can be found here.

Input

When the widget is on a html-page, you want to add an input to your view that will be used by the File Uploader:

...
<%= uploadcare_uploader_field :object, :attribute %>
<!--
  results in:
  <input role="uploadcare-uploader" type="hidden" name="object[attribute]" id="object_attribute">
-->
...
  • object — object name;
  • attribute — object attribute name.

Using the File Uploader with Rails models

View helpers are good to be used for Rails models. First, you need to mount uploadcare file or group to the model attribute. For example you have a database table like this and model Post:

# DB table "posts"
---------------------
title       | String
---------------------
picture     | String
---------------------
attachments | String
---------------------

Form data

Uploadcare File

# app/models/post.rb
class Post < ApplicationRecord
  mount_uploadcare_file :picture
end
<!-- app/views/posts/new.html.erb -->
<h1> NEW POST </h1>

<%= form_tag("/posts", method: :post) do %>
  <%= uploadcare_uploader_field :post, :picture %>
  <!--
    results in:
    <input role="uploadcare-uploader" multiple="false" type="hidden" name="post[picture]" id="post_picture">
  -->
  <div>
    <%= submit_tag "Save" %>
  </div>
<% end %>

Uploadcare File Group

# app/models/post.rb
class Post < ApplicationRecord
  mount_uploadcare_file_group :attachments
end
<!-- app/views/posts/new.html.erb -->
<h1> NEW POST </h1>

<%= form_tag("/posts", method: :post) do %>
  <%= uploadcare_uploader_field :post, :attachments %>
  <!--
    results in:
    <input role="uploadcare-uploader" multiple="true" type="hidden" name="post[attachments]" id="post_attachments">
  -->
  <div>
    <%= submit_tag "Save" %>
  </div>
<% end %>

The input will have a value property set to CDN-urls when you will select files to upload in the widget.

<input role="uploadcare-uploader" type="hidden" name="post[picture]" id="post_picture" value="https://ucarecdn.com/8355c2c5-f108-4d74-963d-703d48020f83/">

So, you get CDN-urls as a value of the attribute in the controller on form submit. The value will be available in the controller by params[:post][:picture].

The helper is detecting the value of the multiple property based on the mount type in your model.

If you are facing issue, with multiple input elements being rendered due to turbolinks caching you can append this fix in the app/javascript/application.js to overcome this:

document.addEventListener('turbolinks:before-cache', function() {
    const dialogClose = document.querySelector('.uploadcare--dialog__close');
    if (dialogClose) {
        dialogClose.dispatchEvent(new Event('click'));
    }

    const dialog = document.querySelector('.uploadcare--dialog');
    if (dialog) {
        dialog.remove();
    }

    const widgets = document.querySelectorAll('.uploadcare--widget');
    widgets.forEach(widget => {
        widget.remove();
    });
});

Similarly if you are using Hotwire then use can you use below code:

document.addEventListener('turbo:before-cache', function() {
    const dialogClose = document.querySelector('.uploadcare--dialog__close');
    if (dialogClose) {
        dialogClose.dispatchEvent(new Event('click'));
    }

    const dialog = document.querySelector('.uploadcare--dialog');
    if (dialog) {
        dialog.remove();
    }

    const widgets = document.querySelectorAll('.uploadcare--widget');
    widgets.forEach(widget => {
        widget.remove();
    });
});

File and Group wrappers

When you mount either Uploadcare File or Group to an attribute, this attribute is getting wrapped with a Uploadcare object. This feature adds some useful methods to the attribute.

Note: Supports ActiveRecord, ActiveModel and Mongoid models.

Uploadcare File

Say, you have such model in your Rails app:

# app/models/post.rb
class Post < ApplicationRecord
  mount_uploadcare_file :picture
end

And then you create a new Post object specifying a CDN-url for your previously uploaded Uploadcare file:

post = Post.create(picture: "https://ucarecdn.com/2d33999d-c74a-4ff9-99ea-abc23496b052/")

Now the post.picture is an Uploadcare::Rails::File. Following methods are supported:

# Store the file on an Uploadcare server permanently:
post.picture.store
#   => {
#         "cdn_url"=>"https://ucarecdn.com/2d33999d-c74a-4ff9-99ea-abc23496b052/",
#          ...other group data...
#      }

#
# Delete the file from an Uploadcare server permanently:
post.picture.delete
#   => {
#         "datetime_removed"=>"2021-07-30T09:19:30.797174Z",
#          ...other group data...
#      }

# Get CDN-url of an object attribute:
post.picture.to_s
#   => "https://ucarecdn.com/2d33999d-c74a-4ff9-99ea-abc23496b052/"

# Load object (send a GET request to the server to get all the file's data)
# This data will be cached if the cache_files option is set to true
# Default data (without asking an Uploadcare server) for each file contains cdn_url and uuid only:
post.picture.load
#   => {
#         "cdn_url"=>"https://ucarecdn.com/2d33999d-c74a-4ff9-99ea-abc23496b052/",
#          ...other file data...
#      }

# Check if an attribute loaded from the server.
# Will return false unless the :load or the :store methods are called:
post.picture.loaded?
#   => true

# More about image transformations below.
# Transform a CDN-url to get a new transformed image's source. Works for images only:
post.picture.transform_url(quality: "better")
#   => "https://ucarecdn.com/2d33999d-c74a-4ff9-99ea-abc23496b052/-/quality/better/"

Uploadcare File Group

Groups work similar to the File but have some differences though.

# app/models/post.rb
class Post < ApplicationRecord
  mount_uploadcare_file_group :attachments
end

Creating a new post with the Group mounted:

post = Post.create(attachments: "https://ucarecdn.com/dbc4e868-b7a6-43ff-a35f-2ebef935dc1b~1/")

Now the post.attachments is an Uploadcare::Rails::Group. Following methods are supported:

# Store the file group on an Uploadcare server permanently:
post.attachments.store
#   => {
#         "cdn_url"=>"https://ucarecdn.com/dbc4e868-b7a6-43ff-a35f-2ebef935dc1b~1/",
#          ...other group data...
#         "files"=> [{
#            "datetime_stored"=>"2021-07-29T08:31:45.668354Z",
#            ...other file data...
#         }]
#      }

#
# Delete the file group from an Uploadcare server permanently:
post.attachments.delete
#   => {
#         "datetime_removed"=>"2021-07-30T09:19:30.797174Z",
#          ...other group data...
#      }

# Get CDN-url of an object attribute:
post.attachments.to_s
#   => "https://ucarecdn.com/dbc4e868-b7a6-43ff-a35f-2ebef935dc1b~1/"

# Load object — works the same way as for the File:
post.attachments.load
#   => {
#         "cdn_url"=>"https://ucarecdn.com/dbc4e868-b7a6-43ff-a35f-2ebef935dc1b~1/",
#          ...other group data...
#         "files"=> [{
#            "datetime_stored"=>"2021-07-29T08:31:45.668354Z",
#            ...other file data...
#         }]
#      }

# Check if an attribute loaded from the server:
post.attachments.loaded?
#   => true

# As we don't want to show (on the html-page) a file group itself,
# we can get CDN-urls for file that the group contains. No loading group or files needed.
# This works for images only:
post.attachments.transform_file_urls(quality: "better")
#   => ["https://ucarecdn.com/dbc4e868-b7a6-43ff-a35f-2ebef935dc1b~1/nth/0/-/quality/better/"]

# If you want to get non-transformed file urls, use:
post.attachments.file_urls
#   => ["https://ucarecdn.com/dbc4e868-b7a6-43ff-a35f-2ebef935dc1b~1/nth/0/"]

Image Transformation

Uploadcare provides a way to transform images stored on Uploadcare services specifying a list of operations. If an operation has just one option, you can specify it like key-value:

post.picture.transform_url(quality: "better")
#   => "https://ucarecdn.com/ebbb9929-eb92-4f52-a212-eecfdb19d27d/-/quality/better/"

and if an operation supports several options — just set them as a Hash:

post.picture.transform_url(crop: { dimensions: "300x500", coords: "50, 50", alignment: "center" })
#   => "https://ucarecdn.com/ebbb9929-eb92-4f52-a212-eecfdb19d27d/-/crop/300x500/50,50/center/"

Full list of operations and valid values can be found here.

Uploadcare API interfaces

Uploadcare provides APIs to manage files, group, projects, webhooks, video and documents conversion and file uploads. The gem has unified interfaces to use Uploadcare APIs in RailsApp.

Upload API

Upload Api provides methods to upload files in many ways.

Upload a single file

# Load a file
file = File.open("kitten.png")
#   => #<File:kitten.png>

# Upload file to Uploadcare
uploadcare_file = Uploadcare::UploadApi.upload_file(file)
#   => {
#         "uuid"=>"2d33999d-c74a-4ff9-99ea-abc23496b053",
#          ...other file data...
#      }

This method supports single file uploading and uploading files from an URL (depending on the type of first argument - can be either String (i.e. URL) or File).

# Upload file from URL
url = "https://ucarecdn.com/80b807be-faad-4f01-bbbe-0bbde172b9de/1secVIDEO.mp4"
uploadcare_file = Uploadcare::UploadApi.upload_file(url)
#   => [
#        {
#          "size"=>22108,
#          "uuid"=>"b5ed5e1d-a939-4fe4-bfb2-31d3867bb6s6",
#          "original_filename"=>"1 sec VIDEO.mp4",
#          "is_image"=>false,
#          "image_info"=>nil,
#          "is_ready"=>true,
#          "mime_type"=>"video/mp4"
#        }
#      ]

Upload several files

# Load a file
file = File.open("kitten.png")
#   => #<File:kitten.png>
# Upload several files to Uploadcare
uploadcare_file = Uploadcare::UploadApi.upload_files([file])
#   => [
#        {
#          "uuid"=>"2dfc94e6-e74e-4014-9ff5-a71b8928f4fa",
#          "original_filename"=>:"kitten.png"
#        }
#      ]

File API

FileApi provides an interface to manage single files, stored on Uploadcare Servers.

Get files

# Valid options:
# removed: [true|false]
# stored: [true|false]
# limit: (1..1000)
# ordering: ["datetime_uploaded"|"-datetime_uploaded"]
# from: A starting point for filtering files. The value depends on your ordering parameter value.
Uploadcare::FileApi.get_files(ordering: "datetime_uploaded", limit: 10)
#   => {
#        "next"=>nil,
#        "previous"=>nil,
#        "total"=>2,
#        "per_page"=>10,
#        "results"=> [
#          {
#            "datetime_removed"=>nil,
#            ... file data ...
#          }
#        ]
#      }

Get a file by UUID

$ Uploadcare::FileApi.get_file("7b2b35b4-125b-4c1e-9305-12e8da8916eb")
#   => {
#         "cdn_url"=>"https://ucarecdn.com/7b2b35b4-125b-4c1e-9305-12e8da8916eb/",
#          ...other file data...
#      }
# Valid options:
# stored: [true|false]
Uploadcare::FileApi.local_copy_file("2d33999d-c74a-4ff9-99ea-abc23496b052", store: false)

Project API

ProjectApi interface provides just one method - to get a configuration of your Uploadcare project.

Uploadcare::ProjectApi.get_project
#   => {
#        "collaborators"=>[],
#        "name"=>"New project",
#        "pub_key"=>"your_public_key",
#        "autostore_enabled"=>true
#      }

Webhook API

WebhookApi allows to manage Uploadcare webhooks.

Get all webhooks

This method returns a non-paginated list of webhooks set in your project

Uploadcare::WebhookApi.get_webhooks
#   => [{
#        "id"=>815677,
#        "created"=>"2021-08-02T05:02:14.588794Z",
#        "updated"=>"2021-08-02T05:02:14.588814Z",
#        "event"=>"file.uploaded",
#        "target_url"=>"https://example.com",
#        "project"=>123682,
#        "is_active"=>true
#      }]

Create a new webhook

This method requires an URL that is triggered by an event, for example, a file upload. A target URL MUST be unique for each project — event type combination.

Each webhook payload can be signed with a secret (the signing_secret option) to ensure that the request comes from the expected sender. More info about secure webhooks here.

# Valid options:
# event: ["file.uploaded"]
# is_active: [true|false]
Uploadcare::WebhookApi.create_webhook("https://example.com", event: "file.uploaded", is_active: true, signing_secret: "some-secret")
#   => {
#        "id"=>815671,
#        "created"=>"2021-08-02T05:02:14.588794Z",
#        "updated"=>"2021-08-02T05:02:14.588814Z",
#        "event"=>"file.uploaded",
#        "target_url"=>"https://example.com",
#        "project"=>123682,
#        "is_active"=>true
#      }

Update an existing webhook by ID

Updating a webhook is available if webhook ID is known. The ID is returned in a response on creating or listing webhooks. Setting a signing secret is supported when updating a webhook as well.

# Valid options:
# event: Presently, we only support the "file.uploaded" event
# is_active: [true|false]
Uploadcare::WebhookApi.update_webhook("webhook_id", target_url: "https://example1.com", event: "file.uploaded", is_active: false, signing_secret: "some-secret")
#   => {
#        "id"=>815671,
#        "created"=>"2021-08-02T05:02:14.588794Z",
#        "updated"=>"2021-08-02T05:02:14.588814Z",
#        "event"=>"file.uploaded",
#        "target_url"=>"https://example1.com",
#        "project"=>123682,
#        "is_active"=>false
#      }

Delete an existing webhook by a target_url

Uploadcare::WebhookApi.delete_webhook("https://example1.com")
#   => Success(nil)

Conversion API

ConversionApi provides methods to manage video and documents conversion.

Convert a document

This method requires an UUID of a previously uploaded to Uploadcare file and target format. If using an image format, you can also specify a page number that must be converted for a document containing pages. More info about document conversion can be found here.

Uploadcare::ConversionApi.convert_document(
  { uuid: "466740dd-cfad-4de4-9218-1ddc0edf7aa6", format: "png", page: 1 },
  store: false
)
#   => Success({
#        :result=>[{
#          :original_source=>"466740dd-cfad-4de4-9218-1ddc0edf7aa6/document/-/format/png/-/page/1/",
#          :token=>21316034,
#          :uuid=>"db6e52b8-cc03-4174-a07a-012be43b144e"
#        }],
#        :problems=>{}
#     })

Get a document conversion job status

This method requires a token obtained in a response to the convert_document method.

Uploadcare::ConversionApi.get_document_conversion_status(21316034)
#   => Success({
#        :result=>{
#          :uuid=>"db6e52b8-cc03-4174-a07a-012be43b144e"
#        },
#        :error=>nil,
#        :status=>"finished"
#     })

Convert a video

Such as the document conversion method, this method requires an UUID of a previously uploaded to Uploadcare file. Also you have several options to control the way a video will be converted. All of them are optional. Description of valid options and other info about video conversion can be found here.

Uploadcare::ConversionApi.convert_video(
  {
    uuid: "466740dd-cfad-4de4-9218-1ddc0edf7aa6",
    format: "ogg",
    quality: "best",
    cut: { start_time: "0:0:0.0", length: "0:0:1.0" },
    thumbs: { N: 2, number: 1 }
  },
  store: false
)
#   => Success({
#        :result=>[{
#          :original_source=>"80b807be-faad-4f01-bbbe-0bbde172b9de/video/-/size/600x400/change_ratio/-/quality/best/-/format/ogg/-/cut/0:0:0.0/0:0:1.0/-/thumbs~2/1/",
#          :token=>916090555,
#          :uuid=>"df597ef4-59e7-47ef-af5d-365d8409934c~2",
#          :thumbnails_group_uuid=>"df597ef4-59e7-47ef-af5d-365d8409934c~2"
#        }],
#        :problems=>{}
#     })

Get a video conversion job status

This method requires a token obtained in a response to the convert_video method.

Uploadcare::ConversionApi.get_video_conversion_status(916090555)
#   => Success({
#        :result=>{
#          :uuid=>"f0a3e66e-cd22-4397-ba0a-8a8becc925f9",
#          :thumbnails_group_uuid=>"df597ef4-59e7-47ef-af5d-365d8409934c~2"
#        },
#        :error=>nil,
#        :status=>"finished"
#     })

File Metadata Api

File metadata is additional, arbitrary data, associated with uploaded file. As an example, you could store unique file identifier from your system. Metadata is key-value data.

Get file's metadata keys and values

Uploadcare::FileMetadataApi.('f757ea10-8b1a-4361-9a7c-56bfa5d45176')
#   => {:"sample-key"=>"sample-value"}

Get the value of a single metadata key

Uploadcare::FileMetadataApi.('f757ea10-8b1a-4361-9a7c-56bfa5d45176', 'sample-key')
#   => "sample-value"

Update the value of a single metadata key

If the key does not exist, it will be created.

Uploadcare::FileMetadataApi.('f757ea10-8b1a-4361-9a7c-56bfa5d45176', 'sample-key', 'new-value')
#   => "new-value"

Delete a file's metadata key

Uploadcare::FileMetadataApi.('f757ea10-8b1a-4361-9a7c-56bfa5d45176', 'sample-key')
#   => "200 OK"
