Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'simple-image-uploader'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install simple-image-uploader
After adding gem 'simple-image-uploader' to your Gemfile.
You should go back to your terminal and type:
rails g simple_image_uploader
The gem will generate all the files, routes and add the gems needed for image upload.
After, you can run
rails s
Then you can access the following URL:
http://localhost:3000/images
Use the Image class to see how you can add the image upload to your existing app.
For example, if you have a Post class where people can upload images for each post, you should add the following code:
In the models/post.rb
has_many :images
In the models/image.rb
belongs_to :post
And run
rails g migration add_post_id_to_images post_id:integer
rake db:migrate
rails s
The secret is to link image model to each of your other models that need image upload. For each new link you can either create has_many or has_and_belongs_to relationships.
