ActiveStorage::Previewer
draw(*argv)private
Executes a system command, capturing its binary output in a tempfile. Yields the tempfile.
Use this method to shell out to a system library (e.g. mupdf or ffmpeg) for preview image generation. The resulting tempfile can be used as the :io value in an attachable Hash:
def preview download_blob_to_tempfile do |input| draw "my-drawing-command", input.path, "--format", "png", "-" do |output| yield io: output, filename: "#{blob.filename.base}.png", content_type: "image/png" end end end
The output tempfile is opened in the directory returned by ActiveStorage::Downloading#tempdir.
