Method: Paperclip::Attachment#url

Defined in:
lib/paperclip/attachment.rb

#url(style_name = default_style, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Returns the public URL of the attachment with a given style. This does not necessarily need to point to a file that your Web server can access and can instead point to an action in your app, for example for fine grained security; this has a serious performance tradeoff.

Options:

timestamp - Add a timestamp to the end of the URL. Default: true. escape - Perform URI escaping to the URL. Default: true.

Global controls (set on has_attached_file):

interpolator - The object that fills in a URL pattern’s variables. default_url - The image to show when the attachment has no image. url - The URL for a saved image. url_generator - The object that generates a URL. Default: Paperclip::UrlGenerator.

As mentioned just above, the object that generates this URL can be passed in, for finer control. This object must respond to two methods:

#new(Paperclip::Attachment, options_hash) #for(style_name, options_hash)
