How to get url of Active Storage image

Question

I want to get list of records with attached images as a links or files by api.

I have a simple model:

class Category < ApplicationRecord   has_one_attached :image   validates :name, presence: true, uniqueness: true end 

And next action:

  def index     @categories = Category.all.with_attached_image      render json: @categories.to_json(include: { image_attachment: { include: :blob } })   end 

That's the only way I can get image object.

And I see next results:

{"id":4,"name":"Cat1","description":""}, {"id":1,"name":"Cat2","description":"","image_attachment":   {"id":8,"name":"image","record_type":"Category","record_id":1,"blob_id":8,"created_at":"2018-06-09T13:45:40.512Z","blob":   {"id":8,"key":"3upLhH4vGxZEhhf3TaAjDiCW","filename":"Screen Shot 2018-06-09 at 20.43.24.png","content_type":"image/png","metadata":   {"identified":true,"width":424,"height":361,"analyzed":true},"byte_size":337347,"checksum":"Y58zbYUVOlZRadx81wxOJA==","created_at":"2018-06-09T13:45:40.482Z"}}}, ... 

I can see filename here. But files lives in different folders and it doesn't seems for me like a convenient way to get and link to the file.

I couldn't find any information about this.

Updated

Accordin to iGian solution my code become:

  def index     @categories = Category.all.with_attached_image      render json: @categories.map { |category|       category.as_json.merge({ image: url_for(category.image) })     }   end 

Answer 1

For my User which has_one_attached :avatar I can get the url in my views with <%= image_tag url_for(user.avatar) %>. So, in controller I would use just url_for(user.avatar)

For Category which has_one_attached :image:

url_for(category.image) 

Answer 2

Also try @object.image.service_url. This will give you the url where the image is saved. I.E. url to amazon s3 storage.
