Paperclip
IPFS Storage¶ ↑
This gem extends the Paperclip so that you can save file on IPFS network.
Installation¶ ↑
gem "paperclip-ipfs-storage"
or put it on the Gemfile.
Usage¶ ↑
Add attachment
type field into the schema as usual, then add string
type field as [field_name]_ipfs_hash
. For example:
class CreateMediaAttachments < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0] def change create_table :media_attachments do |t| t.attachment :file t.string :file_ipfs_hash, :file_ipfs_hash, null: true, default: nil end end end
Then specify :ipfs
for the :storage
option and ':gateway_url'
for the :url
in the model. For example:
class MediaAttachment < ActiveRecord::Base has_attached_file :file, :storage => :ipfs, :url => ':gateway_url' end
Limitation¶ ↑
You cannot remove the file uploaded. This is due to the design of IPFS 1.
