How install Action Text without Active Storage?

Question

I want to add action text to my app. But it also sets Active Storage. I already use CarrierWave, and don't need Active Storage. By the way, I do not need to upload files in the editor at all.

Answer 1

ActionStorage is a hard dependency for ActionText.

# rails/actiontext/actiontext.gemspec
# frozen_string_literal: true

version = File.read(File.expand_path("../RAILS_VERSION", __dir__)).strip

Gem::Specification.new do |s|
  s.platform    = Gem::Platform::RUBY
  s.name        = "actiontext"
  s.version     = version
  s.summary     = "Rich text framework."
  s.description = "Edit and display rich text in Rails applications."

  # ...
  s.add_dependency "activesupport", version
  s.add_dependency "activerecord",  version
  s.add_dependency "activestorage", version
  s.add_dependency "actionpack",    version

  s.add_dependency "nokogiri", ">= 1.8.5"
end

So you can either just live with it (ActionStorage and CarrierWave can co-exist) or use any the many other WYSIWYG alternatives or integrate Trix and Rails yourself.
