Documentation

installation

 Installation

Add the latest stable release to your mix.exs file, along with the required dependencies for ExAws if appropriate:

defp deps do
  [
    {:waffle, "~> 1.1"},

    # If using S3:
    {:ex_aws, "~> 2.1.2"},
    {:ex_aws_s3, "~> 2.0"},
    {:hackney, "~> 1.9"},
    {:sweet_xml, "~> 0.6"}
  ]
end

Then run mix deps.get in your shell to fetch the dependencies.

usage

 Usage

After installing Waffle, another two things should be done:

  1. setup a storage provider
  2. define a definition module

setup-a-storage-provider

 Setup a storage provider

Waffle has two built-in storage providers:

Other available storage providers are supported by the community.

An example for setting up Waffle.Storage.Local:

config :waffle,
  storage: Waffle.Storage.Local,
  asset_host: "http://static.example.com" # or {:system, "ASSET_HOST"}

An example for setting up Waffle.Storage.S3:

config :waffle,
  storage: Waffle.Storage.S3,
  bucket: "custom_bucket",                # or {:system, "AWS_S3_BUCKET"}
  asset_host: "http://static.example.com" # or {:system, "ASSET_HOST"}

config :ex_aws,
  json_codec: Jason
  # any configurations provided by https://github.com/ex-aws/ex_aws

define-a-definition-module

 Define a definition module

Waffle requires a definition module which contains the relevant functions to store and retrieve files:

  • Optional transformations of the uploaded file
  • Where to put your files (the storage directory)
  • How to name your files
  • How to secure your files (private? Or publicly accessible?)
  • Default placeholders

This module can be created manually or generated by mix waffle.g automatically.

As an example, we will generate a definition module for handling avatars:

mix waffle.g avatar

This should generate a file at lib/[APP_NAME]_web/uploaders/avatar.ex. Check this file for descriptions of configurable options.

usage-with-ecto

 Usage with Ecto

Waffle comes with a companion package for use with Ecto. If you intend to use Waffle with Ecto, it is highly recommended you also add the waffle_ecto dependency. Benefits include:

  • Changeset integration
  • Versioned urls for cache busting (.../thumb.png?v=63601457477)

testing

 Testing

The basic test suite can be run with without supplying any S3 information:

mix test

In order to test S3 capability, you must have access to an S3/equivalent bucket. For S3 buckets, the bucket must be configured to allow ACLs and it must allow public access.

The following environment variables will be used by the test suite:

  • WAFFLE_TEST_BUCKET
  • WAFFLE_TEST_BUCKET2
  • WAFFLE_TEST_S3_KEY
  • WAFFLE_TEST_S3_SECRET
  • WAFFLE_TEST_REGION

After setting these variables, you can run the full test suite with mix test --include s3:true.
