Rails respond with paperclip image.url multiple URLs


I'm building a simple rails application where users can upload some images. Now I need a simple controller that returns the image's URLs of related record which have the same id_attivita. To do so I create a function in the controller and enable it in the routes.rb file.

My question is about how to respond to the http request with the attribute value of image.url provided from paperclip?

    def getattached
      @photo_attivitum = PhotoAttivitum.where(id_attivita: params[:id_attivita])
                                       
    
     respond_to do |format|
       
     @photo_attivitum.each do |p|
        format.html { render :json => p.image.url}
      end
    end
  end

it works but it returns only the URLs of the first record not the other four record's URLs... How can I do this?


Solution

  • Add the following gem to your Gemfile

    gem 'active_model_serializers'
    

    Then install it using bundle

    bundle install
    

    You can generate a serializer as follows

    rails g serializer photo_attivitum
    

    it will create Serializer class file in

    # app/serializers/photo_attivitum_serializer.rb
    
    class PhotoAttivitumSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
       attributes :id, :image_url
    
       def image_url
         object.image.url
       end 
    end
    

    And in controller

    def getattached
      @photo_attivitum = PhotoAttivitum.where(id_attivita: 
       params[:id_attivita])
    
    
      render json: @photo_attivitum
    end
