Is there anyway to write the following code in Ruby without writing the file to disk?
temp_file = 'path/to/file.csv'
users = [[email protected], [email protected]]
CSV.open(temp_file, "w") do |csv|
csv << data_for_report
end
Reports.sendreport users temp_file
File.delete(temp_file)
The Reports.sendreport attaches a file and sends an email, so it needs to be a file...
Try one of the mmap gems. If the library only takes a filename, that's your option.
If it can accept a file-like object, however, you can use a StringIO.
You might consider changing whatever Reports
is, making it more general-purpose. It depends on what it's using to create its mail message–this might be trivial.
