Instance Method Details

#fetch ⇒ Object

FilePond calls this endpoint when a URL is dropped onto the upload widget. The server acts as a “proxy” for the client in order to load a file. We then redirect to the actual file which is now served from our servers, and proceed through the usual route.

Note that the implementation below may not be the most efficient. The alternative way would be to directly proxy the request to the URL where the file is originally hosted.

def fetch
  # We explicitly declare this for clarity of what is in the
  # raw_post value as sent by FilePond
  uri = URI.parse(raw_post)
  url = uri.to_s
  blob = ActiveStorage::Blob.create_and_upload!(
    io: URI.open(uri),
    filename: URI.parse(url).path.parameterize
  )
  if blob.persisted?
    redirect_to ::Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.rails_service_blob_path(
      blob.signed_id,
      blob.filename
    )
  else
    head :unprocessable_entity
  end
end

#remove ⇒ Object

FilePond calls this endpoint when a user removes (ie. undos) a file upload. This ensures that the blob is removed.
