Using Images for a collection

[Carlos Castillo6909856]

Im about to start an app that will use a collection with images, unfortunately all your seminars only uses text examples, or do you have any tutorial that handles images from appery local DB?

Hi Carlos,

Here is how to do it:

I'd recommend that you store images as files and retrieve them this way:

Thank you Katya for the quick respond but,

I want to use appery.io DB not an external sql

I find the Files under Predefined collections

I presume I do have to load the images there

And at the collections I do have a new column called images and declared as object

But what do I need to load into the collection cell declared; the id from "Files" or the actual image file?

If I just paste the identifier from the File DB
I recive this message
Incorrect JSON object value: c1193e51-6484-4541-be72-b825e5517afe.Fondo.png

And also what kind of images can I use? jpg, tiff, png, gif ...

Hi Carlos.

There is no "_id" column in system "Files" collection.

Please use following solution:

1. Add to your custom collection field "file" with type "string".

2. Upload file to the system "Files" collection.

3. Get "File Name" field and insert it in "file" field from your custom collection(that's you need to link this file).

4. Open your custom collection mapping and link "file" field to image.asset and click "Add JS" on this mapping. Fill it with following code:

   pre

   return "https://appery.io/bksrv/rest/1/admin/files/download/52fd3d06e4b0a25c11c89917/" + value;

   /pre

   That's all.
