Overview

This is an abstract base class for previewers, which generate images from blobs. See MuPDFPreviewer and VideoPreviewer for examples of concrete subclasses.

Class Method Details



  

    .accept?(blob)  ⇒ Boolean 
  



  

    

Implement this method in a concrete subclass. Have it return true when given a blob from which the previewer can generate an image.

Instance Method Details



  

    #download_blob_to_tempfile(&block)   (private)
  



  

    

Downloads the blob to a tempfile on disk. Yields the tempfile.

# File 'activestorage/lib/active_storage/previewer.rb', line 29



def download_blob_to_tempfile(&block) #:doc:
  blob.open tmpdir: tmpdir, &block
end


  








  

    #draw(*argv)   (private)
  



  

    

Executes a system command, capturing its binary output in a tempfile. Yields the tempfile.



Use this method to shell out to a system library (e.g. muPDF or FFmpeg) for preview image generation. The resulting tempfile can be used as the :io value in an attachable ::Hash:



def preview
  download_blob_to_tempfile do |input|
    draw "my-drawing-command", input.path, "--format", "png", "-" do |output|
      yield io: output, filename: "#{blob.filename.base}.png", content_type: "image/png"
    end
  end
end



The output tempfile is opened in the directory returned by #tmpdir.

def draw(*argv) #:doc:
  open_tempfile do |file|
    instrument :preview, key: blob.key do
      capture(*argv, to: file)
    end

    yield file
  end
end

# File 'activestorage/lib/active_storage/previewer.rb', line 86



def logger #:doc:
  ActiveStorage.logger
end


  








  

    #preview(**options)  
  



  

    

Override this method in a concrete subclass. Have it yield an attachable preview image (i.e. anything accepted by Attached::One#attach). Pass the additional options to the underlying blob that is created.
