Temper

A gem for a slightly smarter temporary file and temporary directory maintenance. It combines the best parts of Upfile from paperclip and Rack::Multipart::UploadedFile from rack.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'temper'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install temper

If you want a tempfile that can hold an original_filename and content_type just do this:

Temper::File.new(:original_filename => "my_file.txt")

or

Temper::File.new(:original_filename => "foo.xls", :content_type => "application/vnd.ms-excel")

or if you want to use an existing file as a base:

Temper::File.new(:content => "/path/to/a/file", :original_filename => "foo.xls", :content_type => "application/vnd.ms-excel")

There's also a StringIO wrapper:

Temper:StringIO.new("some content", :original_filename => "foobar.csv")

There's a handy shortcut for both of the above:

Temper::Fi.new(:original_filename => "my_file.txt")
Temper::Si.new("some content", :original_filename => "foobar.csv")

There's also a fingerprint method that will calculate the MD5 hash of the content.
