Is it possible to add DataUrl Image in RBPDF? - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am making pdf file from DataUrl Image in ruby on rails.
I have selected RBPDF to produce pdf file in server side.
But in this code I have following error
#pdf.Image(object["src"] , object["left"], object["top"], object["width"], object["height"])
Here object["src"] is DataUrl Image.
RuntimeError (RBPDF error: Missing image file:
data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4REORXhp...
Is it impossible to add RBPDF image from DataUrl image?
Adding files dynamically is not effective I think.

You may monkey patch the origin method.
I use the data_uri gem to parse the image data.
require 'data_uri'
require 'rmagick'
module Rbpdf
alias_method :old_getimagesize, :getimagesize
# #param [String] date_url
def getimagesize(date_url)
if date_url.start_with? 'data:'
uri = URI::Data.new date_url
image_from_blob = Magick::Image.from_blob(uri.data)
origin_process_image(image_from_blob[0])
else
old_getimagesize date_url
end
end
# this method is extracted without comments from the origin implementation of getimagesize
def origin_process_image(image)
out = Hash.new
out[0] = image.columns
out[1] = image.rows
case image.mime_type
when "image/gif"
out[2] = "GIF"
when "image/jpeg"
out[2] = "JPEG"
when "image/png"
out[2] = "PNG"
when " image/vnd.wap.wbmp"
out[2] = "WBMP"
when "image/x-xpixmap"
out[2] = "XPM"
end
out[3] = "height=\"#{image.rows}\" width=\"#{image.columns}\""
out['mime'] = image.mime_type
case image.colorspace.to_s.downcase
when 'cmykcolorspace'
out['channels'] = 4
when 'rgbcolorspace', 'srgbcolorspace' # Mac OS X : sRGBColorspace
if image.image_type.to_s == 'GrayscaleType' and image.class_type.to_s == 'PseudoClass'
out['channels'] = 0
else
out['channels'] = 3
end
when 'graycolorspace'
out['channels'] = 0
end
out['bits'] = image.channel_depth
out
end
end
