How-to conform to a max/min width/height

Question

I am using Carrierwave (https://github.com/jnicklas/carrierwave). I need to make sure images conform to a maximum/minimum height and width? Otherwise an error should display.

Should this be handled in the uploader class or in the model (possibly through a custom validation method)?

Answer 1

You can validate image width/height on the client side, but that does not guarantee anything, because it's easy to manipulate/circumvent.

For user friendliness: check on the client side and give a warning before uploading. For data integrity, check on the server side after upload.
