I am trying to upload attachments to my model using Carrierwave. I am following instructions from this post:

Rails 4 multiple image or file upload using carrierwave

In the PostAttachment class, the instructions say add "mount_uploader:avatar, AvatarUploader" which suggests it is an image file. However, I want to upload files such as pdf, excel, word, ppt, etc... So what do I add to the model instead?

Thanks!

You can also have one model for uploading files (e.g FileUploader), you only need the attribute `type` to distinguish different file types/file extension – rails_id May 27 '14 at 15:39
Any file can be uploaded unless its type is not validated in model. – Shamsul Haque May 27 '14 at 15:39
@rails_id thank you would you be able to elaborate on how to do that? – BenKoshy Mar 13 '17 at 03:53
