I have at base64 encoded string of a image file. I need to save it using Paper Clip
My Controller code is
@driver = User.find(6)
encoded_file = Base64.encode64(File.open('/pjt_path/public/test.jpg').read)
decoded_file = Base64.decode64(encoded_file)
@driver.profile_pic = StringIO.open(decoded_file)
@driver.save
In my user model
has_attached_file :profile_pic, :styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>" }, :default_url => '/icon.jpg'
Currently the file is saved as a text file(stringio.txt). But when I change the extension to JPG I can view it as image. How can I name the image correctly using StringIO.
I am having rails 3.2, ruby 1.9.2, paperclip 3.0.3
I fixed the issue by using
encoded_file = Base64.encode64(File.open('/pjt_path/public/test.jpg').read)
decoded_file = Base64.decode64(params[:encoded_image])
begin
file = Tempfile.new(['test', '.jpg'])
file.binmode
file.write decoded_file
file.close
@user.profile_pic = file
if @user.save
render :json => {:message => "Successfully uploaded the profile picture."}
else
render :json => {:message => "Failed to upload image"}
end
ensure
file.unlink
end
