How to upload Email Attachments using griddler and paperclip

Question

I'm using Mandrill as Inbound email routing and I'm using those gems to receive emails and save it in a database.

• griddler
• griddler-mandrill
• paperclip

How can I save the attachments in separated database table "Attachments" using paperclip.

Answer 1

Griddler::Email has an attachments attribute, which is:

An array of File objects containing any attachments.

So, if you have a model like this:

class Assessment
  has_attached_file :file
end

You would simply do, for example:

@email.attachments.each{|f| Attachment.create(file: f)}
