Is there a way to do an Upload Progress Indicator for CarrierWave / Fog?

Question

I'm using CarrierWave / Fog in a Rails application to upload videos to Amazon S3.

Is there a way to determine the progress of the upload, so that I can display the upload progress being made?

Answer 1

CarrierWave and Fog don't have that kind of functionality natively; you'll need a front-end uploader to display progress stuff. When I had to solve this problem I used jQuery file upload because I already had jQuery in my stack. There's even a post on CarrierWave integration so you can just follow the instructions there to get a progress bar working for your app.

Thanks for the answer! Client decided not to do a full progress indicator, but this tip will come in handy in the future I'm sure. – Ama
