This gem provides a standard interface for storing big chunks of data.
It supports popular BLOB operations such as reading:
store["key"].read
writing:
store["key"].write("some content")
store["key"].write(File.open("kitty.png"))
checking for existance:
store["key"].exists?
and even deleting:
store["key"].delete
This gem provides several "store" implementations:
# on disk
Blobby::FilesystemStore.new("/big/data")
# in memory
Blobby::InMemoryStore.new
# generic HTTP
Blobby::HttpStore.new("http://attachment-store/objects")
# fake success
Blobby::FakeSuccessStore.new
Other gems provide additional implementations:
Blobby.store provides a convenient way to construct an appropriate
implementation, given a URI (or psuedo-URI):
Blobby.store("file:///tmp")
# => #<Blobby::FilesystemStore ...>
Blobby.store("mem:")
# => #<Blobby::InMemoryStore ...>
Blobby.store("http://storage.com/mystuff/")
# => #<Blobby::HttpStore ...>
