Displaying a Carrierwave filename in the view

Question

I am trying to display the filename of a Carrierwave attachment in a Rails erb template. The following does not work:

<%= @page.form.filename %>
         


        

Answer 1

If you're using ActiveRecord, you can directly access the field named form in two ways:

def my_method
  self[:form]
end

or

def my_method
  form_before_type_cast
end

The second method is read-only.
