Overview

Paperclip processors allow you to modify attached files when they are attached in any way you are able. Paperclip itself uses command-line programs for its included Thumbnail processor, but custom processors are not required to follow suit.

Processors are required to be defined inside the Paperclip module and are also required to be a subclass of Paperclip::Processor. There are only two methods you must implement to properly be a subclass: #initialize and #make. Initialize’s arguments are the file that will be operated on (which is an instance of File), and a hash of options that were defined in has_attached_file’s style hash.

All #make needs to do is return an instance of File (Tempfile is acceptable) which contains the results of the processing.

See Paperclip.run for more information about using command-line utilities from within Processors.
