How do I show a static html file uploaded by user

User can upload static html file on my site.

I stored the file with paperclip.

But How could I show the html in an new window with clicking the link, without downloading it.

That's say. every user can upload its resume file in HTML format

Then we can see the resume by click = User.find_by_id(ID).resume.url

But I don't want to download the html file.

I want to open an new window or hsow it in the current window or iframe

How could I do it ?

Thanks~

It really depends on how you store them:

  1. If you store HTML in the database, you can do something like the following:

    • Add a route:

      get '/resume/:id' => 'resume#show'

    • Create a controller:

      class ResumeController < ApplicationController
  def show
    render html: resume_html(params[:id]).html_safe
  end

  private

  def resume_html(id)
    # here you should return your resume HTML by either
    # just returning a string
    "<h1>Resume</h1>"
    # ... or reading it from a file (this assumes UTF8 encoding)
    Paperclip.io_adapters.for(User.find_by_id(id).resume).read.
      pack('C*').force_encoding('utf-8')
  end
end

  2. If you store HTML file somewhere in publicly available place like #{Rails.root}/public, then it's just a matter of issuing a redirect in the contoller (don't forget to add a route as well):

    class ResumeController < ApplicationController
  def show
    redirect_to resume_path(params[:id])
  end

  private

  def resume_path(id)
    # do whatever you need to return resume URL/path
  end
end

Hope this helps!
