Active Storage Filename

Encapsulates a string representing a filename to provide convenient access to parts of it and sanitization. A Filename instance is returned by ActiveStorage::Blob#filename, and is comparable so it can be used for sorting.

new(filename)

# File activestorage/app/models/active_storage/filename.rb, line 18
def initialize(filename)
  @filename = filename
end

wrap(filename)

Returns a Filename instance based on the given filename. If the filename is a Filename, it is returned unmodified. If it is a String, it is passed to ActiveStorage::Filename.new.

# File activestorage/app/models/active_storage/filename.rb, line 13
def wrap(filename)
  filename.kind_of?(self) ? filename : new(filename)
end

<=>(other)

# File activestorage/app/models/active_storage/filename.rb, line 72
def <=>(other)
  to_s.downcase <=> other.to_s.downcase
end

base()

Returns the part of the filename preceding any extension.

ActiveStorage::Filename.new("racecar.jpg").base # => "racecar"
ActiveStorage::Filename.new("racecar").base     # => "racecar"
ActiveStorage::Filename.new(".gitignore").base  # => ".gitignore"
# File activestorage/app/models/active_storage/filename.rb, line 27
def base
  File.basename @filename, extension_with_delimiter
end

extension()

extension_with_delimiter()

Returns the extension of the filename (i.e. the substring following the last dot, excluding a dot at the beginning) with the dot that precedes it. If the filename has no extension, an empty string is returned.

ActiveStorage::Filename.new("racecar.jpg").extension_with_delimiter # => ".jpg"
ActiveStorage::Filename.new("racecar").extension_with_delimiter     # => ""
ActiveStorage::Filename.new(".gitignore").extension_with_delimiter  # => ""
# File activestorage/app/models/active_storage/filename.rb, line 37
def extension_with_delimiter
  File.extname @filename
end

extension_without_delimiter()

Returns the extension of the filename (i.e. the substring following the last dot, excluding a dot at the beginning). If the filename has no extension, an empty string is returned.

ActiveStorage::Filename.new("racecar.jpg").extension_without_delimiter # => "jpg"
ActiveStorage::Filename.new("racecar").extension_without_delimiter     # => ""
ActiveStorage::Filename.new(".gitignore").extension_without_delimiter  # => ""
Also aliased as: extension
# File activestorage/app/models/active_storage/filename.rb, line 47
def extension_without_delimiter
  extension_with_delimiter.from(1).to_s
end

sanitized()

Returns the sanitized filename.

ActiveStorage::Filename.new("foo:bar.jpg").sanitized # => "foo-bar.jpg"
ActiveStorage::Filename.new("foo/bar.jpg").sanitized # => "foo-bar.jpg"

Characters considered unsafe for storage (e.g. , $, and the RTL override character) are replaced with a dash.

# File activestorage/app/models/active_storage/filename.rb, line 59
def sanitized
  @filename.encode(Encoding::UTF_8, invalid: :replace, undef: :replace, replace: "�").strip.tr("\u{202E}%$|:;/\t\r\n\\", "-")
end

to_s()

Returns the sanitized version of the filename.

# File activestorage/app/models/active_storage/filename.rb, line 64
def to_s
  sanitized.to_s
end
