This is the storage for Carrierwave that serializes the file and saves it into the field the uploader was mounted on.
gem 'carrierwave-base64-storage'
In your uploader specify the storage:
class AvatarUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
storage :base64
end
IMPORTANT: When you mount the uploader on a field, it uses field_data attribute
on the model to store the actual data, and so make sure the field exists
in your model and is able to fit long text blobs (TEXT in SQL).
Example for the ActiveRecord:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
mount_uploader :avatar, AvatarUploader
end
(It will be using avatar_data for the actual data and the content type.)
