paperclip-dimension

This gem used to be called mongoid_paperclip_image_dimension, but it has been improved to be ORM agnostic. Hence, the name of this gem is now simply paperclip-dimension. If you were using mongoid_paperclip_image_dimension before, you can safely upgrade to this gem.

This is a simple gem to persist image dimensions of originals and thumbnails. It works for both s3 and filesystem storages. This lib is based on this stackoverflow.com article.

Install

You can simply install from rubygems:

gem install paperclip-dimension
require 'paperclip-dimension'

or in Gemfile:

  gem 'paperclip-dimension'

Setup

You need to make sure the following is in place:

Paperclip::Glue is included in your model.
<attachment>_dimensions attribute is requried to operate.

Rails & ActiveRecord Migration

paperclip gives you the ability to create migrations with attachment. For example:

class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def up
    create_table :posts do |t|
      t.attachment :image
    end
  end
end

This creates the following columns:

image_file_name
image_file_size
image_content_type
image_updated_at

paperclip-dimension will create an extra field for you: image_dimensions when the above migration is run.

Mongoid

Exmaple Mongoid setup:

class Post
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Paperclip::Glue

  # The usual paperclip fields
  field :image_file_name,     :type => String
  field :image_file_size,     :type => Integer
  field :image_content_type,  :type => String
  field :image_updated_at,    :type => Time

  # The extra paperclip-dimension field
  field :image_dimensions,    :type => Hash

  # call #has_attached_file like usual
  has_attached_file :image, :styles => {
    :large    =>    ['350x350>',     :jpg],
    :medium   =>    ['150x150>',     :jpg],
    :small    =>    ['30x30>',       :jpg]
  }
end

Usage

This gem gives your model a few extra helpers:

# suppose we used the example from above
p = Post.first

# retrieve image dimensions for all sytles
p.image_dimensions
#   {
#     'original' => [2048, 1024],
#     'large'    => [350, 175],
#     'medium'   => [150, 75],
#     'small'    => [30, 15]
#   }

# get image dimension as an array
p.image_dimension               # [2048, 1024]
p.image_dimension(:original)    # [2048, 1024]
p.image_dimension(:large)       # [350, 175]

# get it now as a string
p.image_dimension_str             # "2048x1024"
p.image_dimension_str(:original)  # "2048x1024"
p.image_dimension_str(:large)     # "350x175"
