The "Original" Image

Each image document is centered around the concept of the "original" image. This is the original, unpolluted image that forms the core of the document.

You can use the load_original_from_file method on an instance of your Image class to create an image document with an original image from your filesystem:

class Image < CouchRest::Model::Base
  include CouchPhoto
end

image = Image.new
image.load_original_from_file "/path/to/my_file.jpg"
image.save

Here, we've created a new image instance, then added an "original" image to it via the load_original_from_file method by specifiying a file on the disk. Upon save, this file is read from disk and stored in CouchDB. We could now access our original image thusly:

image.original.original_filename # ==> "my_file.jpg"
image.original.path              # ==> "/your_image_database/8383830jlkfdjskalfjdirewio/variations/original.jpg"
image.original.url               # ==> "http://your_couch_server/your_image_database/8383830jlkfdjskalfjdirewio/variations/original.jpg"
image.original.extension         # ==> "jpg"
image.original.mimetype          # ==> "image/jpg"
image.original.data              # ==> BINARY BLOB
image.original.width             # ==> 720
image.original.height            # ==> 480

Suppose the original image isn't on file, but simply in memory (perhaps this was a form upload). You can use the load_original method to pass a raw binary blob via the :data parameter:

image.load_original :filename => "my_file.jpg", :data => File.read("/path/to/my_file.jpg")
Scenarios
  1. `load_original_from_file` accepts a filepath
  2. `load_original` accepts a filename and a data blob
  3. the original is accessible via the `original` method:
`load_original_from_file` accepts a filepath
Given
an instance of an image class that includes CouchPhoto: 
  class Image < CouchRest::Model::Base
    include CouchPhoto
  end

  @image = Image.new
When
I add an original image to it named 'avatar.jpg' via the load_original_from_file method: 
  @image.load_original_from_file "features/fixtures/avatar.jpg"
And
I save: 
  @image.save
Then
the original image should be added to the database: 
  @image["_attachments"]["variations/original.jpg"].should_not be_empty
When
I load the image from the database: 
  @image = Image.first
Then
the original image should be part of the document: 
  @image["_attachments"]["variations/original.jpg"].should_not be_empty
`load_original` accepts a filename and a data blob
Given
an instance of an image class that includes CouchPhoto: 
  class Image < CouchRest::Model::Base
    include CouchPhoto
  end

  @image = Image.new
When
I call the load_original method with filename 'avatar.jpg' a binary blob: 
  @image.load_original :filename => "custom_name.jpg", :data => File.read("features/fixtures/avatar.jpg")
And
I save: 
  @image.save
Then
the original image should be added to the database: 
  @image["_attachments"]["variations/original.jpg"].should_not be_empty
When
I load the image from the database: 
  @image = Image.first
Then
the original image should be a part of the document: 
  @image["_attachments"]["variations/original.jpg"].should_not be_empty
the original is accessible via the `original` method:
Given
an image with an original: 
  class Image < CouchRest::Model::Base
    include CouchPhoto
  end

  @image = Image.new
  @image.load_original_from_file "features/fixtures/avatar.jpg"
  @image.save
Then
I should be able to access metadata about the image via the original method: 
  @image.original.original_filename.should == "avatar.jpg"
  @image.original.path.should      == "/couch_photo_test/#{@image.id}/variations/original.jpg"
  @image.original.url.should       == "#{Image.database.host}/couch_photo_test/#{@image.id}/variations/original.jpg"
  @image.original.extension.should == "jpg"
  @image.original.mime_type.should == "image/jpeg"
  @image.original.data.should      == File.read("features/fixtures/avatar.jpg")
  @image.original.width.should     == 128
  @image.original.height.should    == 128
  @image.original.custom_variation?.should be(false)
When
I load the image from the database: 
  @image = Image.first
Then
I should be able to access metadata about the image via the original method: 
  @image.original.original_filename.should == "avatar.jpg"
  @image.original.path.should      == "/couch_photo_test/#{@image.id}/variations/original.jpg"
  @image.original.url.should       == "#{Image.database.host}/couch_photo_test/#{@image.id}/variations/original.jpg"
  @image.original.extension.should == "jpg"
  @image.original.mime_type.should == "image/jpeg"
  @image.original.data.should      == File.read("features/fixtures/avatar.jpg")
  @image.original.width.should     == 128
  @image.original.height.should    == 128
  @image.original.custom_variation?.should be(false)
