Filepicker::Padrino

Adds form, image_tag, and download/save helpers to help you get up and running with filepicker.io in Padrino.

A port of filepicker-rails by Max Tilford to Padrino. Very little code was changed so if you'd like to thank someone then thank him!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'filepicker-padrino'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install filepicker-padrino

Register it with Padrino in app/app.rb:

register Filepicker::Padrino

Set your API Key in app/app.rb:

set :filepicker_padrino_api_key, 'XXXXXX'

Add the filepicker.io javascript library to your layout:

<%= filepicker_js_include_tag %>

Usage

Adding an upload field to your form:

<%= filepicker_form_for @user, path do |f| %>
  <div>
    <%= f.label :avatar_url, "Upload Your Avatar:" %>
    <%= f.filepicker_field :avatar_url %> <!-- User#avatar_url is a regular string column -->
  </div>

  <%= f.submit %>
<% end %>

Note the usage of:

<%= filepicker_form_for @user, path do |f| %>

Instead of the typical:

<%= form_for @user, path do |f| %>
