DSMediaLibrary

Build Status

A reusable Media Library for Downstream projects built as a Rails Engine.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ds_media_library'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

  1. Mount the engine at the path of your choosing in your routes:
# config/routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
  # ...
  mount DSMediaLibrary::Engine => "/media_library"
end
  1. Require the app's JavaScript and CSS assets:
// application.sass
@import ds_media_library
# application.coffee
#= require ds_media_library
  1. Add ds_node columns to your models:
# app/models/widget.rb
class Widget < ActiveRecord::Base
  ds_resource :cat_picture
  belongs_to_many_ds_resources :dog_pictures
end
  1. Install and run the migrations
rails ds_media_library:install:migrations
rails db:migrate
  1. Use the #media_library form helper where you would normally use the #file_field form helper:
/ app/views/widgets/form.html.slim
= form_for @widget do |form|
  = form.label :cat_picture
  = form.media_library :cat_picture

  = form.label :dog_pictures
  = form.media_library :dog_pictures, multiple: true
  1. Profit!

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake to run the tests.

You can also run bin/server to start a dummy app at http://localhost:3000 that will allow you to experiment. Note that the state of the app is destroyed on exit.

To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org. You can then run bundle update ds_media_library in projects that use it to update them to the newly-released version.
