What is the relationship between Filepond and Active Storage in Rails 7?

edit

Filepond and Active Storage are both libraries that provide tools for managing file uploads in Rails applications. However, they are not directly related or dependent on each other.

Filepond is a JavaScript library that provides a drag-and-drop file upload interface, while Active Storage is a Rails library that provides built-in file handling capabilities for various cloud storage services, including Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage.

In Rails 7, Filepond can be used to provide a user-friendly interface for uploading files that can be seamlessly integrated with Active Storage to manage the actual uploading and storage of the files. This integration can be achieved using custom JavaScript code and Rails controllers that utilize the Active Storage API to process and store the uploaded files.
