ActiveStorage::SendZip

Add a send_zip method in your Rails controller to send a .zip file containing one or many ActiveStorage objects.

Usage

With Array

Assuming you have an ActiveRecord model with ActiveStorage like this:

# app/models/user.rb
class User < ApplicationRecord
  has_many_attached :pictures
end

You simply have to include ActiveStorage::SendZip in your controller & use ActiveStorage::SendZip#send_zip method. Just pass some ActiveStorage::Attached objects as parameters:

# app/controllers/users_controller.rb
class UsersController < ApplicationController
  include ActiveStorage::SendZip

  # ...

  # GET /users/1
  # GET /users/1.zip
  def show
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { render }
      format.zip { send_zip @user.pictures }
    end
  end
end

Will produce a .zip archive like this:

├── a.jpg
├── b.png
└── c.gif

Ii will also prevent duplicate filename and add an SecureRandom.uuid if two files as the same name.

With Hash

You can also pass an Hash parameter at send_zip method to organize files in sublfolder:

# app/controllers/holidays_controller.rb
class HolidaysController < ApplicationController
  include ActiveStorage::SendZip

  def zip
    send_zip {
      'Holidays in Lyon <3' => Holidays.where(place: 'lyon').first.pictures,
      'Holidays in Paris' => [
        'Eiffle Tower' => Holidays.where(place: 'eiffle_tower').first.pictures,
        Holidays.where(place: 'paris').first.pictures
      ]
    }
  end
end

Will produce a .zip archive like this:

├── Holidays in Lyon <3
│   ├── a.jpg
│   ├── b.png
│   └── c.gif
└── Holidays in Paris
    ├── Eiffle Tower
        ├── d.jpg
        ├── e.jpg
        ├── f.jpg
    ├── a.jpg
    ├── b.png
    └── c.gif

Resize images before downloading

You can resize the images before zipping and downloading them :

# app/controllers/galleries_controller.rb
class GalleriesController < ApplicationController
  include ActiveStorage::SendZip

  # ...

  # GET /galleries/1/download
  def download
    respond_to do |format|
      if params[:format] == 'web_size'
        format.zip { send_zip @gallery.photos, resize_to_limit: [1920, 1080] }
      elsif params[:format] == 'tiny'
        format.zip { send_zip @gallery.photos, resize_to_limit: [480, 270] }
      else
        format.zip { send_zip @gallery.photos }
      end
    end
  end
end
