JSON Resource uploading about arc_ecto HOT 7 OPEN

@joshsmith

Here's an open branch: stavro/arc#125
Here's some documentation: https://github.com/stavro/arc/wiki/Direct-to-S3-Uploads

Feel free to start playing with it, though I have a lot more to document. Especially surrounding content disposition.

@joshsmith I have direct-to-s3 uploads working locally. I'll push it to Arc soon.

@SuperDisk I highly recommend sticking to multipart file uploads rather than JSON. This is trivial with Angular and most other frontend clients. Uploading files via JSON is using the wrong tool for the job IMO.

@SuperDisk I handle this in https://github.com/code-corps/code-corps-api by uploading files as base 64 strings.

I'm not super satisfied with this since I'm on Heroku and large files result in time outs. I'd prefer if I could upload to S3 directly and have arc_ecto (somehow!?) be used for reference.

@stavro that's amazing and will be wonderful to see. Happy to help how I can since it's a major pain point here.

I will also say that even though our implementation works, I really dislike it. It feels ham-fisted, as @stavro said – wrong tool for the job.

@stavro thanks for this! Are you in the Elixir community Slack by chance? I'd tried looking for you there previously but no joy.
