How to upload RecordRTC blob file to Rails paperclip in AJAX

Question

On the client side, the user uses RecordRTC to record a short video. When the user presses upload, I will get the video\'s blob data using recorder.getBlo

Answer 1

I handled kind of same problem in one of my project. The situation was the API has to convert a blob data to image file that was being sent by a mobile device. I am assuming the action to be upload in your controller file.

def upload
  #extract the video data from params
  video = params[:video]

  # define the save path for the video. I am using public directory for the moment. 
  save_path = Rails.root.join("public/videos/#{video.original_filename}")

  # Open and write the file to file system.
  File.open(save_path, 'wb') do |f|
    f.write params[:video].read
  end

  render :nothing => true
end
