WorkFiles is a gem to make programmatic file attachment and CRUD operations in Hyrax easier — both for primary repository files and derivatives. This simplifies both ingest and programmatic introspection of file attachments to repository assets in Hyrax-based repositories, and abstracts many complicated aspects of native Hyrax calling interfaces for dealing with attachment and access of attached files.
- Developers building repository applications or solutions with Hyrax.
- Integrators responsible for creating ingest of file materials into any Hyrax-based repository.
Add dependency of 'work_files' in the gemspec of your Hyrax-based app or engine,
and run bundle install.
Some initial rough console usage documentation is available via this narrative gist.
This gem's functionality was originally developed as part of NewspaperWorks, a project of the "Newspapers in Samvera" project, an IMLS-funded collaboration between the University of Utah's J. Willard Marriott Library and the Boston Public Library.
