Sample for uploading file in Rails3 way on AWDwR 4th chapter21

At page 348 on Agile Web Development with Rails 4th edition chapter21 (ActionView), there are samples for uploading file. But, these are totally in Rails2 way. So I re-write in rails3 way.

Model

> rails g model Picture comment:string name:string content_type:string data:binary

migration file : same as on the book

picture.rb :

class Picture < ActiveRecord::Base
  validates :content_type,
            format: {
              with: %r{^image},
              message: '--- you can only upload pictures'
            }
  
  def uploaded_picture=(picture_field)
    self.name = base_part_of(picture_field.original_filename)
    self.content_type = picture_field.content_type.chomp
    self.data = picture_field.read
  end

  private
  def base_part_of(file_name)
    File.basename(file_name).gsub(/[^\w._-]/, '')
  end
end

Controller

> rails g controller Upload get save show picture

Edit routes.rb like below:

  get "upload" => 'upload#get', as: :uploading
  get "upload/:id" => 'upload#show', as: :uploaded
  get "upload/:id/picture" => 'upload#picture', as: :picture_uploaded
  post "upload" => 'upload#save', as: :uploading

Edit the controller :

class UploadController < ApplicationController
  def get
    @picture = Picture.new
  end

  def save
    @picture = Picture.new(params[:picture])
    if @picture.save
      redirect_to(uploaded_url(@picture))
    else
      render action: 'get'
    end
  end

  def show
    @picture = Picture.find(params[:id])
  end

  def picture
    @picture = Picture.find(params[:id])
    send_data(@picture.data, filename: @picture.name, type: @picture.content_type, disposition: 'inline')
  end

end

View

You can delete save.html.erb and picture.html.erb

get.html.erb
There is no need to add {multipart: true} since Rails 3.1 :

<% @picture.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
  <li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>

<%= form_for(@picture, url: uploading_path) do |form| %>
  <%= form.label :comment %>: <%= form.text_field :comment %><br/>
  <%= form.label :uploaded_picture, 'Upload your picture' %>: <%= form.file_field :uploaded_picture %><br/>
  <%= form.submit 'Upload file' %>
<% end %>

show.html.erb :

<h3><%= @picture.comment %></h3>
<%= image_tag(picture_uploaded_path(@picture)) %>
