# frozen_string_literal: true # Some non-image blobs can be previewed: that is, they can be presented as images. A video blob can be previewed by # extracting its first frame, and a PDF blob can be previewed by extracting its first page. # # A previewer extracts a preview image from a blob. Active Storage provides previewers for videos and PDFs: # ActiveStorage::Previewer::VideoPreviewer and ActiveStorage::Previewer::PDFPreviewer. Build custom previewers by # subclassing ActiveStorage::Previewer and implementing the requisite methods. Consult the ActiveStorage::Previewer # documentation for more details on what's required of previewers. # # To choose the previewer for a blob, Active Storage calls +accept?+ on each registered previewer in order. It uses the # first previewer for which +accept?+ returns true when given the blob. In a Rails application, add or remove previewers # by manipulating +Rails.application.config.active_storage.previewers+ in an initializer: # # Rails.application.config.active_storage.previewers # # => [ ActiveStorage::Previewer::PDFPreviewer, ActiveStorage::Previewer::VideoPreviewer ] # # # Add a custom previewer for Microsoft Office documents: # Rails.application.config.active_storage.previewers << DOCXPreviewer # # => [ ActiveStorage::Previewer::PDFPreviewer, ActiveStorage::Previewer::VideoPreviewer, DOCXPreviewer ] # # Outside of a Rails application, modify +ActiveStorage.previewers+ instead. # # The built-in previewers rely on third-party system libraries. Specifically, the built-in video previewer requires # {FFmpeg}[https://www.ffmpeg.org]. Two PDF previewers are provided: one requires {Poppler}[https://poppler.freedesktop.org], # and the other requires {muPDF}[https://mupdf.com] (version 1.8 or newer). To preview PDFs, install either Poppler or muPDF. # # These libraries are not provided by Rails. You must install them yourself to use the built-in previewers. Before you # install and use third-party software, make sure you understand the licensing implications of doing so. class ActiveStorage::Preview class UnprocessedError < StandardError; end attr_reader :blob, :variation def initialize(blob, variation_or_variation_key) @blob, @variation = blob, ActiveStorage::Variation.wrap(variation_or_variation_key) end # Processes the preview if it has not been processed yet.
