Carrierwave upload to a tmp dir before saving to database
- by user827570
I'm trying to build a visual editor where users can click an image they are presented with an image upload form once the upload is done I use ajax to return the image and insert it back into the page.
But the above method inserts the image straight into the database but I want users to be able to visualize the image before the image is inserted into the database.
So I was wondering if the image using carrierwave could be uploaded to a temp location, sent back to the user and then when the user saves the page the image is moved into the permanent location.
Here's what I have so far.
def edit_image
@page = Page.find(1)
@page.update_attributes(params[:page])
@page.save
return :text => @page.file
end
But this is what I want to achieve
def temp_image
#uploads received image to a temp location
#returns image to the user
end
And once the user clicks save
def save
#moves the file in the temp folder to the permanent location
end
Cheers
