Bridges

Bridges are connectors that integrate ActiveScaffold with other Rails gems. They enable seamless communication between ActiveScaffold and external libraries, making it easier to add features like rich text editor, file uploads, authorization or JS widgets such as RecordSelect or Chosen.

Unlike plugins, bridges depend on both ActiveScaffold and the external gem they connect with, working together to provide extended functionality.

Paperclip Bridge​

Provides seamless support for file attachments using Paperclip, enabling users to upload and manage files directly through ActiveScaffold.

CarrierWave Bridge​

Integrates CarrierWave for managing file uploads, allowing developers to handle file storage and display effortlessly.

Dragonfly Bridge

Supports Dragonfly for dynamic asset processing, including image resizing, encoding, and other on-the-fly operations.
