DESCRIPTION

mongoid_grid_fs is a pure mongoid 3 / moped implementation of the mongodb grid_fs specification

ref: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/GridFS+Specification

it has the following features:

• implementation is on top of mongoid for portability. moped (the driver) is barely used

• simple, REST-like api

• support for custom namespaces (fs.files vs. image.files)

• pathnames and io-like objects can be written to the grid

• auto-unique pathnames are generated (by default) to avoid collisions using #put

  'path/info/a.rb' -> '$object_id/a.rb'

• [] and []= methods which allow the grid to be used like a giant file hash in the sky

• supprt for data_uris
