The Growing Risk of Malicious Browser Extensions
Socket researchers uncover how browser extensions in trusted stores are used to hijack sessions, redirect traffic, and manipulate user behavior.
Dragonfly is a Rack framework for on-the-fly image handling.
Ideal for using with Ruby on Rails (2.3 and 3), Sinatra and all that gubbins.
Gemfile:
gem 'rack-cache', :require => 'rack/cache'
gem 'dragonfly', '~>0.8.2'
Initializer (e.g. config/initializers/dragonfly.rb):
require 'dragonfly/rails/images'
Migration:
add_column :albums, :cover_image_uid, :string
Model:
class Album < ActiveRecord::Base
image_accessor :cover_image # 'image_accessor' is provided by Dragonfly
# this defines a reader/writer for cover_image
# ...
end
View (for uploading via a file field):
<% form_for @album, :html => {:multipart => true} do |f| %>
...
<%= f.file_field :cover_image %>
...
<% end %>
NB: REMEMBER THE MULTIPART BIT!!!
View (to display):
<%= image_tag @album.cover_image.url %>
<%= image_tag @album.cover_image.thumb('400x200#').url %>
<%= image_tag @album.cover_image.jpg.url %>
<%= image_tag @album.cover_image.process(:greyscale).encode(:tiff).url %>
...etc.
The above relies on imagemagick being installed. Dragonfly doesn't depend on it per se, but the default configuration 'dragonfly/rails/images'
uses it. For alternative configurations, see below.
If using Capistrano with the above, you probably will want to keep the cache between deploys, so in deploy.rb:
namespace :dragonfly do
desc "Symlink the Rack::Cache files"
task :symlink, :roles => [:app] do
run "mkdir -p #{shared_path}/tmp/dragonfly && ln -nfs #{shared_path}/tmp/dragonfly #{release_path}/tmp/dragonfly"
end
end
after 'deploy:update_code', 'dragonfly:symlink'
Dragonfly is primarily a Rack app, so you can use it as a standalone app, or with Sinatra, Merb, etc.
It's highly customizable, and works with any data type (not just images).
