Upcloudify

Upcloudify simplifies the process for uploading attachments to the cloud and emailing the recipient a link to that attachment.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'upcloudify'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install upcloudify

Configure the app:

# config/initializers/awesomeness.rb
Upcloudify::S3.configure do |config|
  config.aws_secret_access_key = 'foobarbaz' # can also be ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
  config.aws_access_key_id  = 'hello' # can also be ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID']
  config.aws_directory = 'aws-directory'
end

Then, anywhere you want to upload a file and email a link:

uploader.email(params["email"], params["file"]["filename"], params["file"]["tempfile"])

You can also pass in an options hash to further customize the email links:

  options = {
    suffix: " generated on #{Time.now.to_s}",
    expiration: Time.now.tomorrow,
    from: 'upcloudify',
    subject: 'your file is attached',
    body: 'your report is linked '
  }

There's a sample Sinatra app in the sample_app directory of this gem. To run:

bundle exec ruby sample.rb
