How to add extra files to project?

[Toblerone]

Hi all,

I want to use my own sqllite .db file with my app, I don't want to use the appery DB as I don't want to rely on user having an internet connection. I can see when i create the project in xcode that I can attach my .db file, but how do I do this from appery? I can't seem to find any way to just add files of any type to my appery project? This seems like quite a shortcoming?

Also, Does anyone have any good examples of using local sqllite db and mapping that to a service to access from a local file?

Thank you

Hi, for anyone who is interested - conversation is here https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...

Only one part of the conversation is there, please can you tell us how we can just add any files we may want to use in our projects. For example, if I had a .json file I wanted to include, or if I had a .pdf or .zip file i wanted to include wth my app?

Hi Toby,

You can create any file on Source tab. You should select folder where you need to create new file. For example WEB_RESOURCES - files - resources - css, click on, click on gear icon, select Create file.

Also please take a look at here: https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...

Please note on Source tab you can create text files only (java, xml, js, css, html etc.)

Thanks Katya. Is there any reason why you don't allow adding of binary files here? Is there a technical limitation as to why it's only text you allow?

[Kateryna Grynko]

Yes, it's a technical limitation for Source files. Hope the link above will be helpful.

Hi Katya,

Can I ask what the technical limitation is please? If we can use media manager to upload binary image files then appery is clearly capable of storing binary files, so why are we not able to attach any binary files through the project tab?

Hello! This feature just not implemented yet and I'm not sure if it's going to be implemented.
