ActiveAdmin jQuery-File-Upload Gem Version

An ActiveAdmin plugin to use jQuery-File-Upload for file uploads in forms.

Features:

  • AJAX uploads
  • chunked file uploads for large files

The file is uploaded when selected, not when the form is submitted, that's why a record must exist for uploads.

Install

  • Update your Gemfile: gem 'activeadmin_jfu_upload' (and execute bundle)
  • Add at the end of your ActiveAdmin styles (app/assets/stylesheets/active_admin.scss): css @import 'activeadmin/jfu_upload_input';
  • Add at the end of your ActiveAdmin javascripts (app/assets/javascripts/active_admin.js): js //= require activeadmin/jfu_upload/jquery.fileupload.js //= require activeadmin/jfu_upload_input
  • Use the input with as: :jfu_upload in Active Admin model conf

Why 2 separated scripts? In this way you can include a different version of jQuery-File-Upload if you like.

Options

data-options: permits to set jQuery-File-Upload options directly - see options list

Examples

# ActiveAdmin article form conf:
  form do |f|
    f.inputs 'Article' do
      f.input :title
      # Field setup - data url is required
      f.input :cover, as: :jfu_upload, hint: f.object.cover? ? image_tag( f.object.cover.url ) : '', input_html: { data: { url: jfu_upload_admin_article_path( resource.id ) } } unless f.object.new_record?
      f.input :published
    end
    f.actions
  end

  # Upload action - an helper method is provided
  member_action :jfu_upload, method: [:patch] do
    render json: ActiveAdmin::JfuUpload::Engine::upload_file( request, params[:article][:cover], resource, :cover )
  end

Tested with CarrierWave uploader gem.

Do you like it? Star it!

If you use this component just star it. A developer is more motivated to improve a project when there is some interest.

Take a look at other ActiveAdmin components that I made if you are curious.
