Carrierwave Base64 Storage

This is the storage for Carrierwave that serializes the file and saves it into the field the uploader was mounted on.

Installation

gem 'carrierwave-base64-storage'

Usage

In your uploader specify the storage:

class AvatarUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  storage :base64
end

IMPORTANT: When you mount the uploader on a field, it uses field_data attribute on the model to store the actual data, and so make sure the field exists in your model and is able to fit long text blobs (TEXT in SQL).

Example for the ActiveRecord:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  mount_uploader :avatar, AvatarUploader
end

(It will be using avatar_data for the actual data and the content type.)
