Images into the database?
In my blog application, I have a form for adding posts to the database. The form contains a Quill text editor. The editor content is saved in a string attribute called 'body'. The size of the body attribute is set to 1000000.
This works fine - all the text formatting works. Unfortunately, if I add an image to the editor I get this error - "PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large".
I know that there is a section in the docs called Storage. I have not read that yet, but I will.
However, my question is, is it actually possible to drop images into an editor and them save into the database?
Thanks.
TL;DR
It is not recommended to store images directly in the database. Consider using a storage service instead. If you encounter a "PayloadTooLargeError," it means the request entity is too large. Make sure to read the Storage section in the docs.
You should not be storing images in database. You should use the storage service
