jQuery File Upload for Rails

jQuery-File-Plugin is a file upload plugin written by Sebastian Tschan. jQuery File Upload features multiple file selection, drag&drop support, progress bars and preview images for jQuery. Supports cross-domain, chunked and resumable file uploads and client-side image resizing.

jquery-fileupload-rails is a library that integrates jQuery File Upload for Rails 3.1 Asset Pipeline (Rails 3.2 supported).

Plugin versions

  • jQuery File Upload User Interface Plugin 6.11
  • jQuery File Upload Plugin 5.19.3
  • jQuery UI Widget 1.9.1+amd

Installing Gem

gem "jquery-fileupload-rails"

Using the javascripts

Require jquery-fileupload in your app/assets/application.js file.

//= require jquery-fileupload

The snippet above will add the following js files to the mainfest file.

//= require jquery-fileupload/vendor/jquery.ui.widget
//= require jquery-fileupload/vendor/load-image
//= require jquery-fileupload/vendor/canvas-to-blob
//= require jquery-fileupload/vendor/tmpl
//= require jquery-fileupload/jquery.iframe-transport
//= require jquery-fileupload/jquery.fileupload
//= require jquery-fileupload/jquery.fileupload-fp
//= require jquery-fileupload/jquery.fileupload-ui
//= require jquery-fileupload/locale

If you only need the basic files, just add the code below to your application.js file. Basic setup guide

//= require jquery-fileupload/basic

The basic setup only includes the following files:

//= require jquery-fileupload/vendor/jquery.ui.widget
//= require jquery-fileupload/jquery.iframe-transport
//= require jquery-fileupload/jquery.fileupload

Using the stylesheet

Require the stylesheet file to app/assets/stylesheets/application.css

*= require jquery.fileupload-ui

Using the middleware

The jquery.iframe-transport fallback transport has some special caveats regarding the response data type, http status, and character encodings. jquery-fileupload-rails includes a middleware that handles these inconsistencies seamlessly. If you decide to use it, create an initializer that adds the middleware to your application's middleware stack.

Rails.application.config.middleware.use JQuery::FileUpload::Rails::Middleware

Example app

This app uses paperclip and twitter-bootstrap-rails

You can also check out Ryan Bate's RailsCast jQuery File Upload episode. You will need a pro account to watch it though.

Thanks

Thanks to Sebastian Tschan for writing an awesome file upload plugin.
