Waffle is a flexible file upload library for Elixir with straightforward integrations for Amazon S3 and ImageMagick.
Add the latest stable release to your mix.exs
file, along with the
required dependencies for ExAws
if appropriate:
defp deps do
[
{:waffle, "~> 1.1"},
# If using S3:
{:ex_aws, "~> 2.1.2"},
{:ex_aws_s3, "~> 2.0"},
{:hackney, "~> 1.9"},
{:sweet_xml, "~> 0.6"}
]
end
Then run mix deps.get
in your shell to fetch the dependencies.
After installing Waffle, another two things should be done:
- setup a storage provider
- define a definition module
Waffle has two built-in storage providers:
Waffle.Storage.Local
Waffle.Storage.S3
Other available storage providers are supported by the community.
An example for setting up Waffle.Storage.Local
:
config :waffle,
storage: Waffle.Storage.Local,
asset_host: "http://static.example.com" # or {:system, "ASSET_HOST"}
An example for setting up Waffle.Storage.S3
:
config :waffle,
storage: Waffle.Storage.S3,
bucket: "custom_bucket", # or {:system, "AWS_S3_BUCKET"}
asset_host: "http://static.example.com" # or {:system, "ASSET_HOST"}
config :ex_aws,
json_codec: Jason
# any configurations provided by https://github.com/ex-aws/ex_aws
Waffle requires a definition module which contains the relevant functions to store and retrieve files:
- Optional transformations of the uploaded file
- Where to put your files (the storage directory)
- How to name your files
- How to secure your files (private? Or publicly accessible?)
- Default placeholders
This module can be created manually or generated by mix waffle.g
automatically.
As an example, we will generate a definition module for handling avatars:
mix waffle.g avatar
This should generate a file at lib/[APP_NAME]_web/uploaders/avatar.ex
.
Check this file for descriptions of configurable options.
Waffle comes with a companion package for use with Ecto. If you
intend to use Waffle with Ecto, it is highly recommended you also
add the
waffle_ecto
dependency. Benefits include:
- Changeset integration
- Versioned urls for cache busting (

)
-
Rackspace - arc_rackspace
-
Manta - arc_manta
-
OVH - arc_ovh
-
Google Cloud Storage - waffle_gcs
-
Microsoft Azure Storage - arc_azure
-
Aliyun OSS Storage - waffle_aliyun_oss
The basic test suite can be run with without supplying any S3 information:
mix test
In order to test S3 capability, you must have access to an S3/equivalent bucket. For S3 buckets, the bucket must be configured to allow ACLs and it must allow public access.
The following environment variables will be used by the test suite:
- WAFFLE_TEST_BUCKET
- WAFFLE_TEST_BUCKET2
- WAFFLE_TEST_S3_KEY
- WAFFLE_TEST_S3_SECRET
- WAFFLE_TEST_REGION
After setting these variables, you can run the full test suite with mix test --include s3:true
.
Great thanks to Sean Stavropoulos (@stavro) for the original awesome work on the library.
