How to remove image from the server when deleted in rails about medium-editor-insert-plugin

[brookemckim]

I am doing it in a hacky matter. I store the uuid of the image as a database column and also use that for the image name. Then on removal I extract the uuid from the image and send that to rails for deletion.

That sounds like the most logical way, how do you extract the uuid from the image? 

That's the only thing I can't work out, how to obtain data for a specific image.

I pull it out of the file path that is passed to the deleteFile function.

  $editable.mediumInsert({
    editor: editor,
    addons: {
      images: {
        imagesUploadScript: "/attachments",,
        deleteFile: function(file, that) {
          var fileParts = file.split("/");
          var uuid = fileParts[fileParts.length - 1].split(".")[0];

          $.ajax({
            type: "delete",
            url: "/attachments/" + uuid,
          });
        }
      }
    }
