  include ActionText::Attachable

attachment = ActionText::Attachment.from_attachable(attachable)
attachment.to_html # => "<action-text-attachment sgid=\"BAh7CEk..."

to_html()

Converts the attachment to HTML.

attachable = Person.create! name: "Javan"
attachment = ActionText::Attachment.from_attachable(attachable)
attachment.to_html # => "<action-text-attachment sgid=\"BAh7CEk...

# File actiontext/lib/action_text/attachment.rb, line 173
def to_html
  HtmlConversion.node_to_html(node)
end

to_markdown(attachment_links: false)

Converts the attachment to Markdown.

By default, ActiveStorage blob attachments render as bracketed text:

attachable = ActiveStorage::Blob.find_by filename: "racecar.jpg"
attachment = ActionText::Attachment.from_attachable(attachable)
attachment.to_markdown # => "[racecar.jpg]"

Use the caption when set:

attachment = ActionText::Attachment.from_attachable(attachable, caption: "Vroom vroom")
attachment.to_markdown # => "[Vroom vroom]"

When attachment_links is true and a rendering context is available (e.g., controller or mailer action), ActiveStorage blob attachments generate Markdown links with URLs.

# Image blob
attachment.to_markdown(attachment_links: true) # => "![racecar.jpg](http://example.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/...)"

# Non-image blob
attachment.to_markdown(attachment_links: true) # => "[report.pdf](http://example.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/...)"

Remote images always render as Markdown links regardless of attachment_links:

content = ActionText::Content.new('<action-text-attachment content-type="image/jpeg" url="https://example.com/photo.jpg" caption="A photo"></action-text-attachment>')
content.to_markdown # => "![A photo](https://example.com/photo.jpg)"

The presentation can be overridden by implementing the attachable_markdown_representation method:

class Person < ApplicationRecord
  include ActionText::Attachable

  def attachable_markdown_representation(caption, attachment_links: false)
    MarkdownConversion.markdown_link("@#{name}", Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.person_url(self))
  end
end

attachable = Person.create! name: "Javan"
attachment = ActionText::Attachment.from_attachable(attachable)
attachment.to_markdown # => "[@Javan](http://example.com/people/1)"

# File actiontext/lib/action_text/attachment.rb, line 160
def to_markdown(attachment_links: false)
  if respond_to?(:attachable_markdown_representation)
    attachable_markdown_representation(caption, attachment_links: attachment_links)
  else
    caption.to_s
  end
end

to_plain_text()

Converts the attachment to plain text.

attachable = ActiveStorage::Blob.find_by filename: "racecar.jpg"
attachment = ActionText::Attachment.from_attachable(attachable)
attachment.to_plain_text # => "[racecar.jpg]"

Use the caption when set:

attachment = ActionText::Attachment.from_attachable(attachable, caption: "Vroom vroom")
attachment.to_plain_text # => "[Vroom vroom]"

The presentation can be overridden by implementing the attachable_plain_text_representation method:

class Person < ApplicationRecord
  include ActionText::Attachable

  def attachable_plain_text_representation
    "[#{name}]"
  end
end

attachable = Person.create! name: "Javan"
attachment = ActionText::Attachment.from_attachable(attachable)
attachment.to_plain_text # => "[Javan]"
