Yancy::Plugin::File - Manage file uploads, attachments, and other assets
version 1.080
# Write a file $c->yancy->file->write( $c->param( 'upload' ) );
Note: This module is EXPERIMENTAL and its API may change before Yancy v2.000 is released.
EXPERIMENTAL
This plugin manages file uploads. Files are stored in the file_root by
file_root
This plugin API is meant to be subclassed by other asset storage mechanisms such as Hadoop or Amazon S3.
Files are NOT immediately deleted after they are no longer needed. Instead, a "cleanup" method exists to periodically clean up any files that are not referenced. You should schedule this to run daily or weekly in cron:
# Clean up files every week 0 0 * * 0 ./myapp.pl eval 'app->yancy->file->cleanup( app->yancy->backend, app->yancy->schema )'
$url_path = $c->yancy->file->write( $upload ); $url_path = $c->yancy->file->write( $name, $asset );
Write a file into storage. $upload is a Mojo::Upload object. $name is a filename and $asset is a Mojo::Asset object. Returns the URL of the uploaded file.
$upload
$name
$asset
$app->yancy->file->cleanup( $app->yancy->backend ); $app->yancy->file->cleanup( $app->yancy->backend, $app->yancy->schema );
Clean up any files that do not exist in the given backend. Call this daily or weekly to remove files that aren't needed anymore.
This plugin has the following configuration options.
The root path to store files. Defaults to public/uploads in the application's home directory.
public/uploads
The URL used to reach the file_root. Defaults to /uploads.
/uploads
The name to use for the helper. Defaults to file (creating a yancy.file helper). Change this to add multiple file plugins.
