A simple ruby interface to the imgur image hosting service (imgur.com). This is a nice alternative to uploading images and not having to deal with RMagick bs.
-
Grab a imgur api key : imgur.com/register/api/
# Uploading an image to imgur from the filesystem
img = Imgur::API.new 'YOURAPIKEY'
uploaded_img = img.upload_file '/path/to/your/test.jpg'
# should return a hash like:
# => {"small_thumbnail"=>"http://imgur.com/NfuKFs.png",
"original_image"=>"http://imgur.com/NfuKF.png",
"large_thumbnail"=>"http://imgur.com/NfuKFl.png",
"delete_hash"=>"VAiPkk5NoQ", "imgur_page"=>"http://imgur.com/NfuKF",
"delete_page"=>"http://imgur.com/delete/VAiPkk5NoQ",
"image_hash"=>"NfuKF"}
# now you can do something like (if you're using rails):
<%= image_tag uploaded_img["small_thumbnail"] %>
# Here's an example using Sinatra and Sequel, requires sinatra-more
# Everything's included into one action for brevity, although you can probably extract the file functions to a helper for organizational purposes
post '/upload_photo' do
# let's assume we have this is in our form
# <%= file_field_tag :photo %>
file_name = params[:photo][:filename].split(".").first.gsub!(/[^a-z0-9]+/i, '_')
file_type = params[:photo][:filename].split(".").last
tmp_file_path = File.join(APP_ROOT,"public/images/tmp/#{file_name}.#{file_type}")
FileUtils.mv params[:photo][:tempfile].path, tmp_file_path
unless params["photo"].blank? || params["photo"].nil?
@uploaded_img = IMGUR.upload_file tmp_file_path
end
@photo = Photo.new(:photo => @uploaded_img)
@photo.save
redirect '/results'
end
-
Fork the project.
-
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
