Storage

This gem provides a simple API for multiple storage backends. Supported storages: Amazon S3 and FileSystem.

The storage provides only 3 methods, one for each operation: Storage::get, Storage::store and Storage::remove.

Installation

sudo gem install storage

You can get source code at github.com/fnando/storage

Usage

require "rubygems"
require "storage"

You basically use the same method no matter what storage strategy you’re using.

Amazon S3

Storage.setup do |config|
  config.strategy    = :s3
  config.access_key  = "abcdef"
  config.secret_key  = "123456"
end

# Store a local file on S3.
# You can easily switch from S3 to FileSystem; keys that are not used by one strategy is
# simply ignored.
Storage.store "some/file.rb", :name => "file.rb", :bucket => "sample"
Storage.store File.open("some/file.rb"), :name => "file.rb", :bucket => "sample"

# Retrieve the public url for that file
Storage.get "file.rb"
#=> http://s3.amazon.com/sample-files/file.rb

# Remove a file.
Storage.remove "file.rb"

FileSystem

Storage.setup do |config|
  config.strategy   = :file
  config.path       = "some/directory"
end

# Store a file.
Storage.store "some/file.rb", :name => "file.rb"
Storage.store File.open("some/file.rb"), :name => "file.rb"

# Retrieve that file's path.
Storage.get "file.rb"
#=> some/directory/file.rb

# Remove a file.
Storage.remove "file.rb"
