Sending images to RoR app through an API + paperclip

Question

how can I make my rails app to receive images from clients through an API using paperclip plugin. I know how to use paperclip using the ordinary form to upload the images, but i need to send images from a mac client. thanks in advance

Answer 1

<% form_for(@object,:url => upload_image_contoller_path, :html=>{:multipart => true }) do |f| %>
  <%= f.label 'Image' %><br />
  <%= f.file_field  :photo %>
  <%= f.submit "Add" %>
<% end %>

Also you can add model for paper clip

class MyImage < ActiveRecord::Base
# Paperclip
has_attached_file :photo,
  :styles => {
    :thumb=> "100x100#",
    :large =>   "400x400>" }
end

For more info you can go through readme file of paperclip plugin.
