I'm using MiniMagick to resize my image. My method looks something like that:
def resize
mini_img = MiniMagick::Image.new(img.tempfile.path)
mini_img.combine_options do |c|
c.resize '50x50^'
c.gravity 'center'
c.extent '50x50'
end
mini_img
end
Resize works, but the problem is when I try save mini_img to Active Storage, because I get error Could not find or build blob: expected attachable, got #<MiniMagick::Image. Can I somehow convert MiniMagick::Image (mini_img) to normal image and save it into Active Storage?
Yes, you can. Currently you are trying to save an instance of MiniMagick::Image to ActiveStorage, and that's why you receive that error. Instead you should attach the :io directly to ActiveStorage.
Using your example, if you wanted to attach mini_img to a hypothetical User, that's how you would do it:
User.first.attach io: StringIO.open(mini_img.to_blob), filename: "filename.extension"
In this example I am calling to_blob on mini_img, which is an instance of MiniMagick::Image, and passing it as argument to StringIO#open. Make sure to include the :filename option when attaching to ActiveStorage this way.
EXTRA
Since you already have the content_type when using MiniMagick you might want to provide it to ActiveStorage directly.
metadata = mini_img.data
User.first.attach io: StringIO.open(mini_img.to_blob), filename: metadata["baseName"], content_type: metadata["mimeType"], identify: false
For someone who will have a similar problem. I just changed method to:
def resize
MiniMagick::Image.new(img.tempfile.path).combine_options do |c|
c.resize '50x50^'
c.gravity 'center'
c.extent '50x50'
end
img
end
In this solution, MiniMagick only resized the photo and did nothing else with it, so I didn't have to convert it again.
