= Avatars For Rails

Avatars For Rails is a integral solution to provide a model with avatar support.

It includes a database migration and views with jquery.fileupload and jquery.jcrop

It relies on paperclip and imagemagick

= Installation

Add to your Gemfile:

  gem 'avatars_for_rails'

and run:

  bundle update

Then, if you have a class named user and you want it to have avatars, run:

  rails generate avatars_for_rails:install user

This will generate the following:

* A initializer file with configuration for avatars_for_rails.

* A migration providing the database schema for using avatars_for_rails with the user class.

Do not forget to migrate your database

  rake db:migrate

  

In your model, you must include:

  class User < ActiveRecord::Base

    acts_as_avatarable

  end

For rendering the new avatar form:

  <%= render partial: 'avatars/form',

             object: @user,

             as: :avatarable %>

  

You must include the javascript and css files

  //= require avatars_for_rails

 

If you want to get an user's avatar you can do: 

  user.logo

  

For rendering an image_tag for an user's avatar:

  <%= image_tag(user.logo.url(:style) ) %>
