Ruby Image Manager

How it works

1. Specify image load options when the editor is initialized on the client side.
2. When the Image Manger modal displays, the editor makes a request to the server to load the images.
3. Once the request reaches the server, it returns a list with the images to display in the editor.
4. The editor processes the server response and renders the images in its interface.

Initialize the editor

First, set the imageManagerLoadURL and imageManagerDeleteURL options, this allows the editor to interact with the server to load and delete images listed on the Image Manager.

Next, you can set other options related to the interaction between the server and the editor: imageManagerLoadMethod, imageManagerLoadParams, imageManagerPreloader, imageManagerDeleteParams.

Copy

<script>
  new FroalaEditor('.selector', {
    // Set the image upload URL.
    imageManagerLoadURL: '/load_images',

    // Set the image delete URL.
    imageManagerDeleteURL: '/delete_image'
  })
</script>

Receive the load request

The server implementation is responsible for receiving the request and handling it appropriately. can load all the images inside a specified folder using the FroalaEditorSDK::Image.load_images method.

Note: The path of the folder from where the images are being loaded is relative to the Rails.root global variable.

Copy

FroalaEditorSDK::Image.load_images("public/uploads/images/")

Receive the delete request

The server should listen for any delete request and process it accordingly. The initialization step makes the image path available in the params[:src] variable. The FroalaEditorSDK::Image.delete() method from the Ruby SDK expects the path of the image to remove from disk.

Copy

FroalaEditorSDK::Image.delete(params[:src], "public/uploads/images/")

Complete Example

Copy

<script>
  new FroalaEditor('.selector', {
    // Set the image upload URL.
    imageManagerLoadURL: '/load_images',

    // Set the image delete URL.
    imageManagerDeleteURL: '/delete_image'
  })
</script>

Copy

class UploadController < ActionController::Base

  ...

  def load_images
    render :json => FroalaEditorSDK::Image.load_images("public/uploads/images/")
  end

  ...

end

Copy

class UploadController < ActionController::Base

  ...

  def delete_image
    render :json => FroalaEditorSDK::Image.delete(params[:src], "public/uploads/images/")
  end

  ...
