I have a function to clone records in a rails application. In addition to the form data I would like to copy/attach any active storage file uploads that are attached to the source object to the new object. Any ideas on how to do this? Here is my action:
def copy
@source = Compitem.find(params[:id])
@compitem = @source.dup
render 'new'
end
class Compitem < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :user
has_many_attached :uploads, dependent: :destroy
end
I ended up getting this working by using the https://github.com/moiristo/deep_cloneable gem. Final action:
def copy
@source = Compitem.find(params[:id])
@compitem = @source.deep_clone(include: :uploads_blobs)
@compitem.save
render 'new'
end
