Seeding multiple image attachments from Amazon S3 in Rails

Question

I am trying to seed multiple image attachments to a model. I have been using this link but I am still sort of stuck since what I aim to do differs a little since:

1. I am trying to attach multiple images to each object (which I seed) in the model
2. I want to retrieve these images from my S3 bucket and attach them to the objects (is this possible?)

Here's my seed.rb:

shirt = Item.create(name:"Basic Shirt",price:19.99)
skirt = Item.create(name:"Basic Skirt",price:29.99)
sweater = Item.create(name:"Basic Sweater",price:39.99)
kid_hood = Item.create(name:"Basic Kid Hoodie",price:19.99)

# somehow attach images here?

I am using the aws-sdk-s3 gem in order to connect Active Storage to my S3 bucket. Please tell me if any additional files are needed for viewing. I will happily edit this post to include it.

In many Ruby on Rails apps, file uploading is a crucial feature. For a long time, the Paperclip gem was thought to be the best option for this. Active Storage is currently the preferred method for enabling file uploading in Rails applications, thanks to its recent deprecation. Active Storage is a Rails feature that allows users to upload files to a variety of cloud storage services in a variety of contexts. Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Microsoft Azure Storage are some of the services available. It also offers a local-disk-based service for usage throughout the application development process.
