Refile is a Ruby file upload library for web applications, offering configurable backends (file system, S3), ORM integration, on-the-fly image processing, and streaming uploads. It includes a Rack app for serving files and a JavaScript library for direct uploads.
Use cases
- handle file uploads in a Rails app
- upload images to S3 from Ruby
- resize images on the fly after upload
- support direct uploads from the browser to S3
- attach files to ActiveRecord models
- handle multiple file uploads in forms
When to choose
- you need simple, streaming file uploads in a Ruby/Rails app
- you want pluggable backends like S3 or local file system
- you need on-the-fly image processing with MiniMagick
When to avoid
- you need a very actively developed solution with frequent updates
- you are not using Ruby or Rack-based web frameworks
- you need advanced features of newer upload libraries like Active Storage
