I'm stuck on what to do for having image upload in froala editor. I have carrierwave working for uploading images to google cloud storage for other sections of my app and now I want to have image uploads in froala editor working as well.
Here is what I've done so far
Post image uplaoder
class PostImageUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
# Choose what kind of storage to use for this uploader:
storage :fog
# Override the directory where uploaded files will be stored.
# This is a sensible default for uploaders that are meant to be mounted:
def store_dir
"post-image"
end
# Add a white list of extensions which are allowed to be uploaded.
# For images you might use something like this:
def extension_white_list
%w(jpg jpeg gif png)
end
# Override the filename of the uploaded files:
# Avoid using model.id or version_name here, see uploader/store.rb for details.
def filename
"#{model.id}-#{original_filename}" if original_filename.present?
end
end
I made a post image model
class PostImage < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :post
mount_uploader :image, PostImageUploader
validate :image_size
# Validates the size of an uploaded picture.
def image_size
if image.size > 5.megabytes
errors.add(:picture, "should be less than 5MB")
end
end
end
I made attach
and detach
methods in my post controller but i don't know what to put in them.
def attach
end
def detach
end
def image_params
params.require(:post_image).permit(:image)
end
Made routes to the attach and detach methods but they could be wrong because im not sure if I even need the methods.
match '/guides/:guide_id/posts/attach' => 'posts#attach', :via => :create, as: :attach_guide_post_image
match '/guides/:guide_id/posts/detach'=> 'posts#detach', :via => :delete, as: :detach_guide_post_image
my carriwewave initializer is setup and working (because I'm using it on other places on the site) so I dont think I need to add it in. And I dont think I need to add my post controller new
and create
methods, their pretty stock standard.
From here I went to the froala docs for image uploads, but I dont know what values to put in and which I do need and which I don't need. My questions are the comments written in capital letters.
<script>
$(function() {
$('.editor')
.froalaeditor({
// Set the image upload parameter.
imageUploadParam: 'image',
// 1. I'M GUESSING THIS IS THE PARAM PASSED
// Set the image upload URL.
imageUploadURL: <%= attach_guide_post_image_path =%>,
// 2. MADE THIS PATH IN THE ROUTES
// Set request type.
imageUploadMethod: 'POST',
// Set max image size to 5MB.
imageMaxSize: 5 * 1024 * 1024,
// Allow to upload PNG and JPG.
imageAllowedTypes: ['jpeg', 'jpg', 'png', 'gif']
})
.on('froalaEditor.image.beforeUpload', function (e, editor, images) {
// Return false if you want to stop the image upload.
//3. SO I PUT ERROR MESSAGE IN THESE?? IF SO SHOULD IT BE A POPUP OR TEXT ON THE SCREEN AND HOW
})
.on('froalaEditor.image.uploaded', function (e, editor, response) {
// Image was uploaded to the server.
})
.on('froalaEditor.image.inserted', function (e, editor, $img, response) {
// Image was inserted in the editor.
})
.on('froalaEditor.image.replaced', function (e, editor, $img, response) {
// Image was replaced in the editor.
})
.on('froalaEditor.image.error', function (e, editor, error, response) {
// Bad link.
else if (error.code == 1) { ... }
// No link in upload response.
else if (error.code == 2) { ... }
// Error during image upload.
else if (error.code == 3) { ... }
// Parsing response failed.
else if (error.code == 4) { ... }
// Image too text-large.
else if (error.code == 5) { ... }
// Invalid image type.
else if (error.code == 6) { ... }
// Image can be uploaded only to same domain in IE 8 and IE 9.
else if (error.code == 7) { ... }
// Response contains the original server response to the request if available.
});
});
</script>
This is what I got. I know basic JS and have been using rails for about 6 months so im fairly new to it. I have never done anything like this in rails and js and cant find a solid guide on it.
Above is what I got and im stuck. Would love some help on what needs to be done from there to get image uploads working.
