Changing the Default Avatar with Rails Active Storage and Amazon S3

Have You ever noticed that when you sign up for a new online service, your profile picture is often set to a default image? In this tutorial, we will learn how to change that default avatar using Rails Active Storage and Amazon S3. By the end of this tutorial, you will have successfully integrated cloud storage for user uploads, allowing users to upload pictures and videos within your app.

Introduction

When users sign up for your app, it's important to give them the ability to personalize their profiles. One way to do this is by allowing them to upload a profile picture. However, for many apps, the default avatar is often set to a generic image, such as the user's initials or a generic icon. In this tutorial, we will learn how to change the default avatar using Rails Active Storage and Amazon S3.

Changing the Default Avatar

The first step in changing the default avatar is to allow users to upload their own profile pictures. By using Rails Active Storage, we can easily handle the file uploads and storage. To change the default avatar, we need to provide users with a way to upload their own image. This can be done by adding an "edit profile" page where users can select an image file and upload it.
