Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary

Provides Cloudinary storage for Shrine.

Cloudinary provides storage and advanced processing for images and videos, both on-demand and on upload, automatic and intelligent responsive breakpoints, and an HTML widget for direct uploads.

Installation

gem "shrine-cloudinary", "~> 1.1"

Usage

You'll typically want to upload photos directly to Cloudinary, so your setup might look like this:

require "cloudinary"
require "shrine/storage/cloudinary"

Cloudinary.config(
  cloud_name: "...",
  api_key:    "...",
  api_secret: "...",
)

Shrine.storages = {
  cache: Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary.new(prefix: "cache"), # for direct uploads
  store: Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary.new,
}

Direct uploads

The Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary class implements the #presign method, so it should work with Shrine's presign_endpoint plugin and Uppy's AwsS3 plugin.

If that doesn't work, you can always use Shrine's upload_endpoint plugin with Uppy's XHRUpload plugin.

Copying

If you're using storage as cache where files are accessible over internet, moving the cached file to Cloudinary storage will not require another upload. Instead only the file URL will be passed to Cloudinary, then Cloudinary will internally download it and store the file.

Images, Videos or Raw

The storage defaults the resource type to "image", but you can change that by passing the :resource_type option:

Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary.new(resource_type: "video") # "image", "video" or "raw"

Subdirectory

You can choose to store your files in a subdirectory with the :prefix option:

Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary.new(prefix: "uploads")

Controlling access

You can control access to uploaded files with the :type option:

Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary.new(type: "private") # upload, private or authenticated

Upload options

If you want some Cloudinary options to be applied to all uploads, you can specify :upload_options:

Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary.new(upload_options: { backup: true })

You can also apply upload options dynamically per upload using the upload_options plugin, which is especially useful for doing incoming and eager transformations:

class MyUploader < Shrine
  plugin :upload_options, store: ->(io, context) do
    {
      format: "png",
      eager: [
        { width: 500, height: 500, crop: :scale },
        { width: 300, height: 300, crop: :crop, gravity: :south },
      ]
    }
  end
end

Finally, you can pass upload options when using the uploader directly:

uploader.upload(file, upload_options: { format: "png" })

URLs

You can pass transformation options to the URLs:

user.avatar_url(width: 100, height: 100, crop: :fit) # :crop is mandatory with :width or :height
#=> "https://res.cloudinary.com/myapp/image/upload/w_100,h_100,c_fit/nature.jpg"

See Rails image manipulation for all URL options you can pass in.

Metadata

If you decide to do incoming transformations (processing on upload), shrine-cloudinary will automatically update the extension, size, MIME type, width and height metadata for the uploaded file.

You can choose to save the whole Cloudinary response to metadata by setting :store_data to true:

Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary.new(store_data: true, **cloudinary_options)

user = User.create(avatar: image_file)
user.avatar.metadata["cloudinary"] #=>
# {
#   "public_id" => "foo",
#   "version" => 1450294102,
#   "signature" => "379ab45c743951abaea38d6a18ee631af599763f",
#   "width" => 100,
#   "height" => 67,
#   "format" => "jpg",
#   "resource_type" => "image",
#   "created_at" => "2015-12-16T19:28:22Z",
#   "tags" => [],
#   "bytes" => 6147,
#   "type" => "upload",
#   "etag" => "54b5d33d07b1dc4084d7694825371cd7",
#   "url" => "http://res.cloudinary.com/dkjm0biaa/image/upload/v14502\n94102/foo.jpg",
#   "secure_url" => "https://res.cloudinary.com/dkjm0biaa/image/upload/v1450294102/foo.jpg",
#   "original_filename" => "image"
# }

Responsive breakpoints

Cloudinary has a feature for automagically generating responsive breakpoints for images. In Shrine you can leverage this via :upload_options and :store_data:

Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary.new(
  upload_options: { responsive_breakpoints: {...} },
  store_data: true,
)

Now each upload will generate responsive breakpoints, and the result will be saved in the uploaded file's metadata hash under "cloudinary".

user.avatar.metadata["cloudinary"]["responsive_breakpoints"] #=>
# [{
#   "breakpoints": {
#     {
#       "width": 1000,
#       "height": 667,
#       "bytes": 79821,
#       "url": "http://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/c_scale,w_1000/v1453637947/dog.jpg",
#       "secure_url": "https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/c_scale,w_1000/v1453637947/dog.jpg"
#     },
#     ...
#   }
# }]

If the :responsive_breakpoints value needs to be dynamic, you can use the upload_options plugin:

Shrine.plugin :upload_options, store: -> (io, context) do
  { responsive_breakpoints: {...} }
end

Large files

If you're uploading large files with Cloudinary (like videos), you can take advantage of Cloudinary's special "chunked" upload API, by passing the filesize threshold after which the special API will be used:

# Upload files larger than 100 MB using the "chunked" upload API
Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary.new(large: 100*1024*1024)

The default chunk size is 20 MB, but you can change that by passing :chunk_size to :upload_options:

Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary.new(
  large: 100*1024*1024                        # 100 MB
  upload_options: { chunk_size: 5*1024*1204 } # 5 MB
)

Updating

Sometimes you may want to apply actions to already uploaded files, e.g. regenerate tranformations. This storage provides the #update method which delegates to Cloudinary's explicit API:

cloudinary = Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary.new
# ...
cloudinary.update("image.jpg", eager: {...})

Clearing storage

You can delete all files from the Cloudinary storage in the same way as you do with other storages:

cloudinary = Shrine::Storage::Cloudinary.new
# ...
cloudinary.clear!

Contributing

Firstly you need to create an .env file with Cloudinary credentials:

# .env
CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME="..."
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY="..."
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET="..."

Afterwards you can run the tests:

$ bundle exec rake test
