Store Dimensions

The store_dimensions plugin extracts dimensions of uploaded images and stores them into the metadata hash (by default it uses the fastimage gem).

plugin :store_dimensions

Metadata

The dimensions are stored as "width" and "height" metadata values on the Shrine::UploadedFile object. For convenience the plugin also adds #width, #height and #dimensions reader methods.

image = uploader.upload(file)

image.metadata["width"]  #=> 300
image.metadata["height"] #=> 500
# or
image.width  #=> 300
image.height #=> 500
# or
image.dimensions #=> [300, 500]

Analyzers

By default the fastimage gem is used to extract dimensions. You can choose a different built-in analyzer via the :analyzer option:

plugin :store_dimensions, analyzer: :mini_magick

The following analyzers are supported:

Name	Description
:fastimage	(Default). Uses the fastimage gem to extract dimensions from any IO object.
:mini_magick	Uses the mini_magick gem to extract dimensions from File objects. If non-file IO object is given it will be temporarily downloaded to disk.
:ruby_vips	Uses the ruby-vips gem to extract dimensions from File objects. If non-file IO object is given it will be temporarily downloaded to disk.

You can also create your own custom dimensions analyzer, where you can reuse any of the built-in analyzers. The analyzer is a lambda that accepts an IO object and returns width and height as a two-element array, or nil if dimensions could not be extracted.

plugin :store_dimensions, analyzer: -> (io, analyzers) do
  dimensions   = analyzers[:fastimage].call(io)   # try extracting dimensions with FastImage
  dimensions ||= analyzers[:mini_magick].call(io) # otherwise fall back to MiniMagick
  dimensions
end

API

You can use methods for extracting the dimensions directly:

# or YourUploader.extract_dimensions(io)
Shrine.extract_dimensions(io) #=> [300, 400] (calls the defined analyzer)
# or just
Shrine.dimensions(io) #=> [300, 400] (calls the defined analyzer)

# or YourUploader.dimensions_analyzers
Shrine.dimensions_analyzers[:fastimage].call(io) #=> [300, 400] (calls a built-in analyzer)

Disabling auto-extraction

If you want to use the dimensions extraction methods but not automatically extract dimensions on upload, you can setup this plugin with the auto_extraction: false option.

plugin :store_dimensions, auto_extraction: false

Errors

By default, any exceptions that the analyzer raises while extracting dimensions will be caught and a warning will be printed out. This allows you to have the plugin loaded even for files that are not images.

However, you can choose different strategies for handling these exceptions:

plugin :store_dimensions, on_error: :warn        # prints a warning (default)
plugin :store_dimensions, on_error: :fail        # raises the exception
plugin :store_dimensions, on_error: :ignore      # ignores exceptions
plugin :store_dimensions, on_error: -> (error) { # custom handler
  # report the exception to your exception handler
}

Instrumentation

If the instrumentation plugin has been loaded, the store_dimensions plugin adds instrumentation around dimensions extraction.

# instrumentation plugin needs to be loaded *before* store_dimensions
plugin :instrumentation
plugin :store_dimensions

Extracting metadata will send a image_dimensions.shrine event with the following payload:

Key	Description
:io	The IO object
:uploader	The uploader class that sent the event

A default log subscriber is added as well which logs these events:

Image Dimensions (108ms) – {:io=>File, :uploader=>Shrine}

You can also use your own log subscriber:

plugin :store_dimensions, log_subscriber: -> (event) {
  Shrine.logger.info JSON.generate(name: event.name, duration: event.duration, **event.payload)
}

{"name":"image_dimensions","duration":114,"io":"#<File:0x00007fc445371d90>","uploader":"Shrine"}

Or disable logging altogether:

plugin :store_dimensions, log_subscriber: nil
