Dragonfly

Hello!! Dragonfly is a highly customizable ruby gem for handling images and other attachments and is already in use on thousands of websites.

If you want to generate image thumbnails in Railsruby class User < ActiveRecord::Base # model dragonfly_accessor :photo end erb <%= image_tag @user.photo.thumb('300x200#').url # view %>

… or generate text images on-demand in Sinatra … ruby get "/:text" do |text| Dragonfly.app.generate(:text, text, "font-size" => 32).to_response(env) end

… or just generally manage attachments in your web app … “`ruby wav = Dragonfly.app.fetch_url(“free.music/lard.wav”) # GET from t'interwebs mp3 = wav.to_mp3 # to_mp3 is a custom processor uid = mp3.store # store in the configured datastore, e.g. S3

url = Dragonfly.app.remote_url_for(uid) # ===> s3.amazon.com/my-stuff/lard.mp3 “`

… then Dragonfly is for you! See the documentation to get started!
