How to specify metadata filename for downloaded file?

[aaricpittman]

I have an ActiveRecord model that has an attachment named file.

class Image < ApplicationRecord
  include ImageUploader::Attachment(:file)
end

What is the correct way to set that attachment when creating a new instance of the model using a file downloaded remotely and specifying the metadata filename?

Doing the following handles the file but because it is not a UploadedFile and the metadata filename is not set Shrine is unable to determine the correct file extension.

Image.create(file: Down.open("https://example.org/file"))

Untested, but you might need to go directly through the attacher for this.

url = "https://example.org/file"
image = Image.new
image.file_attacher.attach(Down.open(url), metadata: { filename: File.basename(url) })

Alternatively the remote_url plugin?

@adam12 remote_url is exactly what I needed. Thanks.
