Can carrierwave direct upload to local storage? - ruby-on-rails

Question

Sometimes I am away from internet and still need to work on upload pages. Carrierwave Direct seems to force storage :fog; with no way of overriding in dev.
Is it possible to tell Carrierwave Direct to use local storage (:file) and simply fallback to Carrierwave's development config settings?
Setting storage :file in carrierwave initializer under development config settings doesnt work...carrierwave_direct errors with "is not a recognized provider" from "<%= direct_upload_form_for #uploader do |f| %>".
I have attempted to work around carrierwave direct, but between forcing :fog, expecting a redirect url and expecting the direct_upload_form_for form method...carrierwave_direct is pretty much in charge.
Using storage :file in development would be a welcome feature for the carrierwave_direct gem. Does anyone know how to cleanly do this?

I think it can be done as follows:
CarrierWave.configure do |config|
if Rails.env.development? || Rails.env.test?
config.storage = :file
config.asset_host = ENV["dev_url"]
else
config.fog_provider = 'fog/aws' # required
config.fog_credentials = {
provider: 'AWS', # required
aws_access_key_id: ENV["aws_id"], # required
aws_secret_access_key: ENV["aws_key"], # required
region: ENV["aws_zone"] # optional, defaults to 'us-east-1'
}
config.fog_directory = ENV["aws_bucket"] # required
config.max_file_size = 600.megabytes # defaults to 5.megabytes
config.use_action_status = true
config.fog_public = false # optional, defaults to true
config.fog_attributes = { cache_control: "public, max-age=#{365.day.to_i}" } # optional, defaults to {}
end
end
And in your Uploader add in:
class SomeUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
if Rails.env.development? || Rails.env.test?
def store_dir
"uploads/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/#{model.id}"
end
end
end
