Examples¶ ↑

Migration:

rails g model video name:string encoding:attached

class CreateVideo < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :videos do |t|
      t.string :name
      t.attachment :encoding

      t.timestamps
    end
  end

  def self.down
    drop_table :videos
  end

  }

  after_save do
    remote.encode(self.encoding.url)
  end

end

Form:

<%= form_for @video, html: { multipart: true } do |form| %>
  <%= form.file_field :encoding %>
<% end %>

View:

<video>
  <source src="<%= @video.encoding.url(:webm)" />
