Rails: Trix editor showing image and image size when caption is not specified

I am working on a Rails 6 application with Ubuntu 18.

I just installed ActionText for the Trix Editor (what you see is what you get), so that I can save text to the database which can be modified by an admin, however, when I add an image using the Trix Editor if I don't specify a caption for the image, it shows the name and size of the image as the caption

I just want to remove the captions, and only have the captions when I specify them myself.

Solution

  • I later figured out how to do it.

    After successfully installing ActionText:

    rails action_text:install

    And successfully setting it up:

    // application.js
require("trix")
require("@rails/actiontext")

// actiontext.scss
@import "trix/dist/trix";

    Modify these lines of code in app/views/active_storage/blobs/_blob.html.erb from this:

    <span class="attachment__name"><%= blob.filename %></span>
<span class="attachment__size"><%= number_to_human_size blob.byte_size %></span>

    to this

    <span class="attachment__name"><% blob.filename %></span>
<span class="attachment__size"><% number_to_human_size blob.byte_size %></span>

    That is, remove the = sign from the both lines of code, so that the name and size of the image is not displayed as the caption when a caption is not specified.

    That's all.

    I hope this helps
