About thoughtbot

Paperclip is intended as an easy file attachment library for ActiveRecord. The intent behind it was to keep setup as easy as possible and to treat files as much like other attributes as possible. This means they aren't saved to their final locations on disk, nor are they deleted if set to nil, until ActiveRecord::Base#save is called. It manages validations based on size and presence, if required. It can transform its assigned image into thumbnails if needed, and the prerequisites are as simple as installing ImageMagick (which, for most modern Unix-based systems, is as easy as installing the right packages). Attached files are saved to the filesystem and referenced in the browser by an easily understandable specification, which has sensible and useful defaults.

See the documentation for has_attached_file in Paperclip::ClassMethods for more detailed options.

The complete RDoc is online.

Requirements

Ruby and Rails

Paperclip now requires Ruby version >= 2.0.0 and Rails version 3.2, >= 4.1 (Only if you're going to use Paperclip with Ruby on Rails.)

If you're still on Ruby 1.8.7 or Ruby on Rails 2.3.x, you can still use Paperclip 2.7.x with your project. Also, everything in this README might not apply to your version of Paperclip, and you should read the README for version 2.7 instead.

Image Processor

ImageMagick must be installed and Paperclip must have access to it. To ensure that it does, on your command line, run which convert (one of the ImageMagick utilities). This will give you the path where that utility is installed. For example, it might return /usr/local/bin/convert.

Then, in your environment config file, let Paperclip know to look there by adding that directory to its path.

In development mode, you might add this line to config/environments/development.rb):

Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/usr/local/bin/"

If you're on Mac OS X, you'll want to run the following with Homebrew:

brew install imagemagick

If you are dealing with pdf uploads or running the test suite, you'll also need to install GhostScript. On Mac OS X, you can also install that using Homebrew:

brew install gs

If you're on Ubuntu, you'll want to run the following with apt-get:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick -y

`file`

The Unix file command is required for content-type checking. This utility isn't available in Windows, but comes bundled with Ruby Devkit, so Windows users must make sure that the devkit is installed and added to the system PATH.

Manual Installation

If you're using Windows 7+ as a development environment, you may need to install the file.exe application manually. The file spoofing system in Paperclip 4+ relies on this; if you don't have it working, you'll receive Validation failed: Upload file has an extension that does not match its contents. errors.

To manually install, you should perform the following:

Download & install file from this URL

To test, you can use the image below:

Next, you need to integrate with your environment - preferably through the PATH variable, or by changing your config/environments/development.rb file

PATH

1. Click "Start"
2. On "Computer", right-click and select "Properties"
3. In Properties, select "Advanced System Settings"
4. Click the "Environment Variables" button
5. Locate the "PATH" var - at the end, add the path to your newly installed `file.exe` (typically `C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin`)
6. Restart any CMD shells you have open & see if it works

OR

Environment

1. Open `config/environments/development.rb`
2. Add the following line: `Paperclip.options[:command_path] = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin'`
3. Restart your Rails server

Either of these methods will give your Rails setup access to the file.exe functionality, thus providing the ability to check the contents of a file (fixing the spoofing problem)

Installation

Paperclip is distributed as a gem, which is how it should be used in your app.

Include the gem in your Gemfile:

gem "paperclip", "~> 4.3"

If you're still using Rails 2.3.x, you should do this instead:

gem "paperclip", "~> 2.7"

Or, if you want to get the latest, you can get master from the main paperclip repository:

gem "paperclip", git: "git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git"

If you're trying to use features that don't seem to be in the latest released gem, but are mentioned in this README, then you probably need to specify the master branch if you want to use them. This README is probably ahead of the latest released version, if you're reading it on GitHub.

For Non-Rails usage:

class ModuleName < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Paperclip::Glue
  ...
end

Quick Start

Models

Rails 3

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :avatar
  has_attached_file :avatar, styles: { medium: "300x300>", thumb: "100x100>" }, default_url: "/images/:style/missing.png"
  validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, content_type: /\Aimage\/.*\Z/
end

Rails 4

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :avatar, styles: { medium: "300x300>", thumb: "100x100>" }, default_url: "/images/:style/missing.png"
  validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, content_type: /\Aimage\/.*\Z/
end

Migrations

class AddAvatarColumnsToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def up
    add_attachment :users, :avatar
  end

  def down
    remove_attachment :users, :avatar
  end
end

(Or you can use the Rails migration generator: rails generate paperclip user avatar)

Edit and New Views

<%= form_for @user, url: users_path, html: { multipart: true } do |form| %>
  <%= form.file_field :avatar %>
<% end %>

Edit and New Views with Simple Form

<%= simple_form_for @user, url: users_path do |form| %>
  <%= form.input :avatar, as: :file %>
<% end %>

Controller

Rails 3

def create
  @user = User.create( params[:user] )
end

Rails 4

def create
  @user = User.create( user_params )
end

private

# Use strong_parameters for attribute whitelisting
# Be sure to update your create() and update() controller methods.

def user_params
  params.require(:user).permit(:avatar)
end

Show View

<%= image_tag @user.avatar.url %>
<%= image_tag @user.avatar.url(:medium) %>
<%= image_tag @user.avatar.url(:thumb) %>

Deleting an Attachment

Set the attribute to nil and save.

@user.avatar = nil
@user.save

Usage

The basics of Paperclip are quite simple: Declare that your model has an attachment with the has_attached_file method, and give it a name.

Paperclip will wrap up to four attributes (all prefixed with that attachment's name, so you can have multiple attachments per model if you wish) and give them a friendly front end. These attributes are:

<attachment>_file_name
<attachment>_file_size
<attachment>_content_type
<attachment>_updated_at

By default, only <attachment>_file_name is required for Paperclip to operate. You'll need to add <attachment>_content_type in case you want to use content type validation.

More information about the options passed to has_attached_file is available in the documentation of Paperclip::ClassMethods.

Validations

For validations, Paperclip introduces several validators to validate your attachment:

AttachmentContentTypeValidator
AttachmentPresenceValidator
AttachmentSizeValidator

Example Usage:

validates :avatar, attachment_presence: true
validates_with AttachmentPresenceValidator, attributes: :avatar
validates_with AttachmentSizeValidator, attributes: :avatar, less_than: 1.megabytes

Validators can also be defined using the old helper style:

validates_attachment_presence
validates_attachment_content_type
validates_attachment_size

Example Usage:

validates_attachment_presence :avatar

Lastly, you can also define multiple validations on a single attachment using validates_attachment:

validates_attachment :avatar, presence: true,
  content_type: { content_type: "image/jpeg" },
  size: { in: 0..10.kilobytes }

NOTE: Post-processing will not even start if the attachment is not valid according to the validations. Your callbacks and processors will only be called with valid attachments.

class Message < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :asset, styles: {thumb: "100x100#"}

  before_post_process :skip_for_audio

  def skip_for_audio
    ! %w(audio/ogg application/ogg).include?(asset_content_type)
  end
end

If you have other validations that depend on assignment order, the recommended course of action is to prevent the assignment of the attachment until afterwards, then assign manually:

class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :document, styles: {thumbnail: "60x60#"}
  validates_attachment :document, content_type: { content_type: "application/pdf" }
  validates_something_else # Other validations that conflict with Paperclip's
end

class BooksController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @book = Book.new(book_params)
    @book.document = params[:book][:document]
    @book.save
    respond_with @book
  end

  private

  def book_params
    params.require(:book).permit(:title, :author)
  end
end

A note on content_type validations and security

You should ensure that you validate files to be only those MIME types you explicitly want to support. If you don't, you could be open to XSS attacks if a user uploads a file with a malicious HTML payload.

If you're only interested in images, restrict your allowed content_types to image-y ones:

validates_attachment :avatar,
  content_type: { content_type: ["image/jpeg", "image/gif", "image/png"] }

Paperclip::ContentTypeDetector will attempt to match a file's extension to an inferred content_type, regardless of the actual contents of the file.

Security Validations

Thanks to a report from Egor Homakov we have taken steps to prevent people from spoofing Content-Types and getting data you weren't expecting onto your server.

NOTE: Starting at version 4.0.0, all attachments are required to include a content_type validation, a file_name validation, or to explicitly state that they're not going to have either. Paperclip will raise an error if you do not do this.

class ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :avatar
  # Validate content type
  validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, content_type: /\Aimage/
  # Validate filename
  validates_attachment_file_name :avatar, matches: [/png\Z/, /jpe?g\Z/]
  # Explicitly do not validate
  do_not_validate_attachment_file_type :avatar
end

This keeps Paperclip secure-by-default, and will prevent people trying to mess with your filesystem.

NOTE: Also starting at version 4.0.0, Paperclip has another validation that cannot be turned off. This validation will prevent content type spoofing. That is, uploading a PHP document (for example) as part of the EXIF tags of a well-formed JPEG. This check is limited to the media type (the first part of the MIME type, so, 'text' in text/plain). This will prevent HTML documents from being uploaded as JPEGs, but will not prevent GIFs from being uploaded with a .jpg extension. This validation will only add validation errors to the form. It will not cause errors to be raised.

This can sometimes cause false validation errors in applications that use custom file extensions. In these cases you may wish to add your custom extension to the list of file extensions allowed for your MIME type configured by the mime-types gem:

# Allow ".foo" as an extension for files with the MIME type "text/plain".
text_plain = MIME::Types["text/plain"].first
text_plain.extensions << "foo"
MIME::Types.index_extensions text_plain

Defaults

Global defaults for all your Paperclip attachments can be defined by changing the Paperclip::Attachment.default_options Hash. This can be useful for setting your default storage settings per example so you won't have to define them in every has_attached_file definition.

If you're using Rails, you can define a Hash with default options in config/application.rb or in any of the config/environments/*.rb files on config.paperclip_defaults. These will get merged into Paperclip::Attachment.default_options as your Rails app boots. An example:

module YourApp
  class Application < Rails::Application
    # Other code...

    config.paperclip_defaults = { storage: :fog, fog_credentials: { provider: "Local", local_root: "#{Rails.root}/public"}, fog_directory: "", fog_host: "localhost"}
  end
end

Another option is to directly modify the Paperclip::Attachment.default_options Hash - this method works for non-Rails applications or is an option if you prefer to place the Paperclip default settings in an initializer.

An example Rails initializer would look something like this:

Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:storage] = :fog
Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:fog_credentials] = { provider: "Local", local_root: "#{Rails.root}/public"}
Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:fog_directory] = ""
Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:fog_host] = "http://localhost:3000"

Migrations

Paperclip defines several migration methods which can be used to create the necessary columns in your model. There are two types of helper methods to aid in this, as follows:

Add Attachment Column To A Table

The attachment helper can be used when creating a table:

class CreateUsersWithAttachments < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def up
    create_table :users do |t|
      t.attachment :avatar
    end

  # This is assuming you are only using the users table for Paperclip attachment. Drop with care!
  def down
    drop_table :users
  end
end

You can also use the change method, instead of the up/down combination above, as shown below:

class CreateUsersWithAttachments < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :users do |t|
      t.attachment :avatar
    end
  end
end

Schema Definition

Alternatively, the add_attachment and remove_attachment methods can be used to add new Paperclip columns to an existing table:

class AddAttachmentColumnsToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def up
    add_attachment :users, :avatar
  end

  def down
    remove_attachment :users, :avatar
  end
end

Or you can do this with the change method:

class AddAttachmentColumnsToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    add_attachment :users, :avatar
  end
end

Vintage syntax

Vintage syntax (such as t.has_attached_file and drop_attached_file) is still supported in Paperclip 3.x, but you're advised to update those migration files to use this new syntax.

Storage

Paperclip ships with 3 storage adapters:

File Storage
S3 Storage (via aws-sdk)
Fog Storage

If you would like to use Paperclip with another storage, you can install these gems along side with Paperclip:

Understanding Storage

The files that are assigned as attachments are, by default, placed in the directory specified by the :path option to has_attached_file. By default, this location is :rails_root/public/system/:class/:attachment/:id_partition/:style/:filename. This location was chosen because on standard Capistrano deployments, the public/system directory is symlinked to the app's shared directory, meaning it will survive between deployments. For example, using that :path, you may have a file at

/data/myapp/releases/20081229172410/public/system/users/avatar/000/000/013/small/my_pic.png

NOTE: This is a change from previous versions of Paperclip, but is overall a safer choice for the default file store.

You may also choose to store your files using Amazon's S3 service. To do so, include the aws-sdk gem in your Gemfile:

gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 1.6'

And then you can specify using S3 from has_attached_file. You can find more information about configuring and using S3 storage in the Paperclip::Storage::S3 documentation.

Files on the local filesystem (and in the Rails app's public directory) will be available to the internet at large. If you require access control, it's possible to place your files in a different location. You will need to change both the :path and :url options in order to make sure the files are unavailable to the public. Both :path and :url allow the same set of interpolated variables.

Post Processing

Paperclip supports an extensible selection of post-processors. When you define a set of styles for an attachment, by default it is expected that those "styles" are actually "thumbnails." However, you can do much more than just thumbnail images. By defining a subclass of Paperclip::Processor, you can perform any processing you want on the files that are attached. Any file in your Rails app's lib/paperclip and lib/paperclip_processors directories is automatically loaded by Paperclip, allowing you to easily define custom processors. You can specify a processor with the :processors option to has_attached_file:

has_attached_file :scan, styles: { text: { quality: :better } },
                         processors: [:ocr]

This would load the hypothetical class Paperclip::Ocr, which would have the hash "{ quality: :better }" passed to it along with the uploaded file. For more information about defining processors, see Paperclip::Processor.

The default processor is Paperclip::Thumbnail. For backwards compatibility reasons, you can pass a single geometry string or an array containing a geometry and a format that the file will be converted to, like so:

has_attached_file :avatar, styles: { thumb: ["32x32#", :png] }

This will convert the "thumb" style to a 32x32 square in PNG format, regardless of what was uploaded. If the format is not specified, it is kept the same (i.e. JPGs will remain JPGs). For more information on the accepted style formats, see here.

Multiple processors can be specified, and they will be invoked in the order they are defined in the :processors array. Each successive processor will be given the result of the previous processor's execution. All processors will receive the same parameters, which are defined in the :styles hash. For example, assuming we had this definition:

has_attached_file :scan, styles: { text: { quality: :better } },
                         processors: [:rotator, :ocr]

then both the :rotator processor and the :ocr processor would receive the options { quality: :better }. This parameter may not mean anything to one or more or the processors, and they are expected to ignore it.

NOTE: Because processors operate by turning the original attachment into the styles, no processors will be run if there are no styles defined.

If you're interested in caching your thumbnail's width, height and size in the database, take a look at the paperclip-meta gem.

Also, if you're interested in generating the thumbnail on-the-fly, you might want to look into the attachment_on_the_fly gem.

Events

Before and after the Post Processing step, Paperclip calls back to the model with a few callbacks, allowing the model to change or cancel the processing step. The callbacks are before_post_process and after_post_process (which are called before and after the processing of each attachment), and the attachment-specific before_<attachment>_post_process and after_<attachment>_post_process. The callbacks are intended to be as close to normal ActiveRecord callbacks as possible, so if you return false (specifically - returning nil is not the same) in a before_filter, the post processing step will halt. Returning false in an after_filter will not halt anything, but you can access the model and the attachment if necessary.

NOTE: Post processing will not even start if the attachment is not valid according to the validations. Your callbacks and processors will only be called with valid attachments.

class Message < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :asset, styles: {thumb: "100x100#"}

  before_post_process :skip_for_audio

  def skip_for_audio
    ! %w(audio/ogg application/ogg).include?(asset_content_type)
  end
end

URI Obfuscation

Paperclip has an interpolation called :hash for obfuscating filenames of publicly-available files.

Example Usage:

has_attached_file :avatar, {
    url: "/system/:hash.:extension",
    hash_secret: "longSecretString"
}

The :hash interpolation will be replaced with a unique hash made up of whatever is specified in :hash_data. The default value for :hash_data is ":class/:attachment/:id/:style/:updated_at".

:hash_secret is required - an exception will be raised if :hash is used without :hash_secret present.

For more on this feature, read the author's own explanation

MD5 Checksum / Fingerprint

An MD5 checksum of the original file assigned will be placed in the model if it has an attribute named fingerprint. Following the user model migration example above, the migration would look like the following:

class AddAvatarFingerprintColumnToUser < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def up
    add_column :users, :avatar_fingerprint, :string
  end

  def down
    remove_column :users, :avatar_fingerprint
  end
end

File Preservation for Soft-Delete

An option is available to preserve attachments in order to play nicely with soft-deleted models. (acts_as_paranoid, paranoia, etc.)

has_attached_file :some_attachment, {
    preserve_files: "true",
}

This will prevent some_attachment from being wiped out when the model gets destroyed, so it will still exist when the object is restored later.

Custom Attachment Processors

Custom attachment processors can be implemented and their only requirement is to inherit from Paperclip::Processor (see lib/paperclip/processor.rb). For example, when :styles are specified for an image attachment, the thumbnail processor (see lib/paperclip/thumbnail.rb) is loaded without having to specify it as a :processor parameter to has_attached_file. When any other processor is defined, it must be called out in the :processors parameter if it is to be applied to the attachment. The thumbnail processor uses the ImageMagick convert command to do the work of resizing image thumbnails. It would be easy to create a custom processor that watermarks an image using ImageMagick's composite command. Following the implementation pattern of the thumbnail processor would be a way to implement a watermark processor. All kinds of attachment processors can be created; a few utility examples would be compression and encryption processors.

Dynamic Configuration

Callable objects (lambdas, Procs) can be used in a number of places for dynamic configuration throughout Paperclip. This strategy exists in a number of components of the library but is most significant in the possibilities for allowing custom styles and processors to be applied for specific model instances, rather than applying defined styles and processors across all instances.

Dynamic Styles:

Imagine a user model that had different styles based on the role of the user. Perhaps some users are bosses (e.g. a User model instance responds to #boss?) and merit a bigger avatar thumbnail than regular users. The configuration to determine what style parameters are to be used based on the user role might look as follows where a boss will receive a 300x300 thumbnail otherwise a 100x100 thumbnail will be created.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :avatar, styles: lambda { |attachment| { thumb: (attachment.instance.boss? ? "300x300>" : "100x100>") } }
end

Dynamic Processors:

Another contrived example is a user model that is aware of which file processors should be applied to it (beyond the implied thumbnail processor invoked when :styles are defined). Perhaps we have a watermark processor available and it is only used on the avatars of certain models. The configuration for this might be where the instance is queried for which processors should be applied to it. Presumably some users might return [:thumbnail, :watermark] for its processors, where a defined watermark processor is invoked after the thumbnail processor already defined by Paperclip.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :avatar, processors: lambda { |instance| instance.processors }
  attr_accessor :processors
end

Logging

By default Paperclip outputs logging according to your logger level. If you want to disable logging (e.g. during testing) add this in to your environment's configuration:

Your::Application.configure do
...
  Paperclip.options[:log] = false
...
end

More information in the rdocs

Deployment

Paperclip is aware of new attachment styles you have added in previous deploys. The only thing you should do after each deployment is to call rake paperclip:refresh:missing_styles. It will store current attachment styles in RAILS_ROOT/public/system/paperclip_attachments.yml by default. You can change it by:

Paperclip.registered_attachments_styles_path = '/tmp/config/paperclip_attachments.yml'

Here is an example for Capistrano:

namespace :deploy do
  desc "build missing paperclip styles"
  task :build_missing_paperclip_styles do
    on roles(:app) do
      within release_path do
        with rails_env: fetch(:rails_env) do
          execute :rake, "paperclip:refresh:missing_styles"
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

after("deploy:compile_assets", "deploy:build_missing_paperclip_styles")

Now you don't have to remember to refresh thumbnails in production every time you add a new style. Unfortunately, it does not work with dynamic styles - it just ignores them.

If you already have a working app and don't want rake paperclip:refresh:missing_styles to refresh old pictures, you need to tell Paperclip about existing styles. Simply create a paperclip_attachments.yml file by hand. For example:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :avatar, styles: { thumb: 'x100', croppable: '600x600>', big: '1000x1000>' }
end

class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :cover, styles: { small: 'x100', large: '1000x1000>' }
  has_attached_file :sample, styles: { thumb: 'x100' }
end

Then in RAILS_ROOT/public/system/paperclip_attachments.yml:

---
:User:
  :avatar:
  - :thumb
  - :croppable
  - :big
:Book:
  :cover:
  - :small
  - :large
  :sample:
  - :thumb

Testing

Paperclip provides rspec-compatible matchers for testing attachments. See the documentation on Paperclip::Shoulda::Matchers for more information.

Parallel Tests

Because of the default path for Paperclip storage, if you try to run tests in parallel, you may find that files get overwritten because the same path is being calculated for them in each test process. While this fix works for parallel_tests, a similar concept should be used for any other mechanism for running tests concurrently.

if ENV['PARALLEL_TEST_GROUPS']
  Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:path] = ":rails_root/public/system/:rails_env/#{ENV['TEST_ENV_NUMBER'].to_i}/:class/:attachment/:id_partition/:filename"
else
  Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:path] = ":rails_root/public/system/:rails_env/:class/:attachment/:id_partition/:filename"
end

The important part here being the inclusion of ENV['TEST_ENV_NUMBER'], or a similar mechanism for whichever parallel testing library you use.

Integration Tests

Using integration tests with FactoryGirl may save multiple copies of your test files within the app. To avoid this, specify a custom path in the config/environments/test.rb like so:

Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:path] = "#{Rails.root}/spec/test_files/:class/:id_partition/:style.:extension"

Then, make sure to delete that directory after the test suite runs by adding this to spec_helper.rb.

config.after(:suite) do
  FileUtils.rm_rf(Dir["#{Rails.root}/spec/test_files/"])
end
