Creating a simple upload site with Ruby on Rails

in #rails8 years ago (edited)

Firstly, you would need to create a new rails app as usual:

rails new UploadSite

The following gems are needed in your Gemfile

carrierwave
bootstrap-sass

Now, we create a new model

rails g model Resume name:string attachment:string

Migrate the database

rake db:migrate

Generate a new controller

rails g controller Resumes index new create destroy

Generate an uploader for the files

rails g uploader attachment

Edit app/models/resume.rb

With this code

class Resume < ActiveRecord::Base
   mount_uploader :attachment, AttachmentUploader # Tells rails to use this uploader for this model.
   validates :name, presence: true # Make sure the owner's name is present.
end

Modify config/routes.db

CarrierWaveExample::Application.routes.draw do
   resources :resumes, only: [:index, :new, :create, :destroy]
   root "resumes#index"
end

Edit the controller

class ResumesController < ApplicationController
   def index
      @resumes = Resume.all
   end
   
   def new
      @resume = Resume.new
   end
   
   def create
      @resume = Resume.new(resume_params)
      
      if @resume.save
         redirect_to resumes_path, notice: "The resume #{@resume.name} has been uploaded."
      else
         render "new"
      end
      
   end
   
   def destroy
      @resume = Resume.find(params[:id])
      @resume.destroy
      redirect_to resumes_path, notice:  "The resume #{@resume.name} has been deleted."
   end
   
   private
      def resume_params
      params.require(:resume).permit(:name, :attachment)
   end
   
end

add bootstrap in app/assets/stylesheets/resumes.css.scss

@import "bootstrap";

Edit app/views/layouts/application.html.erb

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   
   <head>
      <title>Tutorialspoint</title>
      <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", media: "all", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
      <%= javascript_include_tag "application", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
      <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
   </head>
   
   <body>
      <div class = "container" style = "padding-top:20px;">
         <%= yield %>
      </div>
   </body>

</html>

Edit the index view

<% if !flash[:notice].blank? %>
   <div class = "alert alert-info">
      <%= flash[:notice] %>
   </div>
<% end %>

<br />

<%= link_to "New Resume", new_resume_path, class: "btn btn-primary" %>
<br />
<br />

<table class = "table table-bordered table-striped">
   <thead>.
      <tr>
         <th>Name</th>
         <th>Download Link</th>
         <th> </th>
      </tr>
   </thead>
   
   <tbody>
      <% @resumes.each do |resume| %>
         
         <tr>
            <td><%= resume.name %></td>
            <td><%= link_to "Download Resume", resume.attachment_url %></td>
            <td><%= button_to "Delete",  resume, method: :delete, class: "btn btn-danger", confirm: "Are you sure that you wish to delete #{resume.name}?" %></td>
         </tr>
         
      <% end %>
   </tbody>
   
</table>

Edit the new.html.erb

<% if !@resume.errors.empty? %>
   <div class = "alert alert-error">
      
      <ul>
         <% @resume.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
            <li><%= msg %></li>
         <% end %>
      </ul>
      
   </div>
<% end %>

<div class = "well">
   <%= form_for @resume, html: { multipart: true } do |f| %>
      <%= f.label :name %>
      <%= f.text_field :name %>
      <%= f.label :attachment %>
      <%= f.file_field :attachment %>
      <%= f.submit "Save", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
   <% end %>
</div>

Et voila!
