# Paperclip::Imgur This gem extends [Paperclip](https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip) with [Imgur](http://imgur.com/) storage. It's been tested with Paperclip 3.3.1, 4.3 and 5.1. If you want Paperclip Dropbox support, have a look at this [great gem](https://github.com/janko-m/paperclip-dropbox/). ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'paperclip-imgur' ``` And then run: ```bash $ bundle install ``` ## Usage Tell your typical model™ to use Imgur as storage: ```ruby class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_attached_file :avatar, storage: :imgur validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, content_type: /\Aimage\/.*\z/ end ``` ### Credentials The credentials to upload and delete images from Imgur will be read from `#{Rails.root}/config/imgur.yml`. This file must contain the following keys: ```yml client_id: 'CLIENT_ID' client_secret: 'CLIENT_SECRET' access_token: 'ACCESS_TOKEN' refresh_token: 'REFRESH_TOKEN' ``` Get these keys with: ```bash rake imgur:authorize CLIENT_ID='CLIENT_ID' CLIENT_SECRET='CLIENT_SECRET' ``` Please refer to the [API client gem documentation](https://github.com/dncrht/imgur) for more information on this. Create an [application](https://imgur.com/account/settings/apps) if you don't have those client keys yet. You can also specify the credentials per model attribute, using a hash: ```ruby has_attached_file :avatar, storage: :imgur, imgur_credentials: {client_id: 'CLIENT_ID', client_secret: 'CLIENT_SECRET', access_token: 'ACCESS_TOKEN', refresh_token: 'REFRESH_TOKEN'} ``` …or path to a YAML file ```ruby has_attached_file :avatar, storage: :imgur, imgur_credentials: 'path.to/file.yml' ``` …or a File itself ```ruby has_attached_file :avatar, storage: :imgur, imgur_credentials: File.open('path.to/file.yml', 'r') ``` ### Use attachment in views The image is available in your views in three different sizes: ```ruby <%= image_path @user.avatar %> <%= image_path @user.avatar.url(:small) %> <%= image_path @user.avatar.url(:large) %> ``` ### Deleting images To delete an image, follow the usual Paperclip procedure: ```ruby @user.avatar = nil @user.save ``` ## Testing Run specs with ```bash rspec ```
