So i want to map it to local storage but it does not show photo_buffer. So i cant map it...

You need to create it first (in Data tab, in the mapping window, right side on the top - Create variable - enter name - Click 'Create' choose Local storage variable) and then make mapping to it.

ok thanks that did the trick

Hello!

Am I the only one that is only getting the names of the photos in the list item? I'm assuming this service is meant to show photos, and I'm confused how that is possible if we don't include an image in the list with the label.... Or maybe its something I don't understand.

Also for a slow working app, are you saying we should upload the images to the files collection and then call on it, instead of creating a photo collection?

Thanks,
Joe

Hello! Please make sure you map response to Image component in that case it will be shown https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/... (Part 2)
What do you mean under files collection?

Hey!

Yes mapping the response to an actual image component worked as it should. Thanks.

By files collection I mean the files collection in a database and uploading images to that collection vs setting up and uploading to a created "photos" collection.

You can use previously created collection instead of creating new one, just set up that for existing collection.

Hey Alena,

I wasn't aware you could set up a database service with the file collection...

Hello! To make it work more quickly use DB Files data instead storing base64encoded data in collection field. In collection field you can store image name and image in Files data.

Maryna,

Thanks for the response. Is there a built in database service we can use for the files collection?
