Rails Engine that adds a set of views to upload videos by batch to a vzaar account. It also provides synchronization with local database.

In order to install this gem in your Rails project, you must add the following gems to your Gemfile:

gem 'semantic-ui-sass', github: 'doabit/semantic-ui-sass'
gem 'jquery-fileupload-rails', github: 'Springest/jquery-fileupload-rails'
gem 'batch_videos_uploader', github: 'kopz9999/batch-videos-uploader'

This project depends on rails 4.1.0

Mount the routes:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  mount BatchVideosUploader::Engine => "/batch_videos_uploader"
end

Locate file with configuration file named batch_videos.yml under config:

# your_app/config/batch_videos.yml
vzaar:
  username: 'vzaar login username'
  token: 'api token' # Create one in https://app.vzaar.com/settings/api
  sync_model: 'Video' # OPTIONAL: Class to sync videos against another source

Restart your server and go to: http://localhost:3000/batch_videos_uploader/remote_videos

You should be able to see the following screen:

In this point you can start uploading videos to your vzaar account simultaneously.

As mentioned in the comments above, you can provide a configuration key called sync_model, which should be a class in your application (usually an ActiveRecord model). If your provided this key, you should see the following button:

The class should implement the following module:

• BatchVideosUploader::VzaarUpload::VideoSyncable

Check the following example:

class Video < ActiveRecord::Base
  include BatchVideosUploader::VzaarUpload::VideoSyncable

  dragonfly_accessor :video

  validates :video, presence: true

  def remote_video_url
    self.video.remote_url
  end

  # Method to override
  def process_remote_video( remote_video )
    self.video = remote_video.file_stream
    self.title = remote_video.title
    self.save
  end

end

In this example the local class Video, implements VideoSyncable module. The method process_remote_video receives an object of class BatchVideosUploader::Models::RemoteVideo. This class has the following attributes:

# @attr [Integer] vzaar id
attr_accessor :remote_id
# @attr [String] vzaar preview url
attr_accessor :remote_video_url
# @attr [String] vzaar video title
attr_accessor :title
# @attr [File] video file
attr_accessor :file_stream

The sample class uses dragonfly in order to save files locally. In this example video receives vzaar file_stream and saves it locally. You can modify this behaviour and sync the videos in the way you prefer. To see the example in action, download the repo and run the dummy application.

If you did not provide a configuration file you should see a page with a message:

No vzaar settings provided. Provide configuration and restart server

To run tests with mini-test:

$ rake test

• Right now this project only supports vzaar, it can support other apis.
• Migrate tests to RSpec
