Ruby on Rails AJAX file upload

Question

Is there any easy way how to handle AJAX file upload in Rails? e.g. with a plugin

Answer 1

If you're using Rails 3, I've written a plugin that makes AJAX style file uploads relatively trivial to implement.

Answer 2

JQuery File Upload is very active and versatile file upload widget project.

See the demo here: http://blueimp.github.com/jQuery-File-Upload/

Here's a Gem: http://rubygems.org/gems/jquery.fileupload-rails

The wiki also has Rails examples: https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki
