Multiple File Uploads with a nice JS interface?

Highzen berg asked in General

Hello everyone,,
I am going with an 'Attachment' model which belongs to other models (just one for now).

The 'Attachment' model to add other fields and funtionality down the road. Each record has one file uploaded against it.

I started with ActiveStorage but am abandoning that because AS just dumps all your files into the root of your filestore. So down the road when I have a million uploads I have a mess. Carrierwave (and other gems) let you organize your uploads into organized directories etc.

I am currently just using a nested form and ActiveStorage in my edit view. It works but is clunky. I wanted to use Dropzone (as I used a few years back) but it doesn't seem to support nested attributes.

Is there a modern and easy to use combination of gems / JS to do this based on my set-up?

Thanks,.

I recommend using a library like Dropzone.js or Uppy.js for multiple file uploads with a nice JS interface. These libraries make it easy to drag and drop files, show progress bars, and handle file uploads asynchronously. Let me know if you need help implementing this.
