SAP Build Apps: Storing Images in VCF

Post Content

​ Previously, we saw how to create your own backend data store – Visual Cloud Functions – using SAP Build Apps. In this video, we’ll see how to store an image in VCF.

IMPORTANT: When storing the output from converting the image to base64, currently on mobile you have to manually add the prefix that makes it visible for SAP Build Apps. So instead of simply storing the output of the “convert base64” flow function in the “Set page variable” flow function, you must use a function as follows:

IF(systemVars.runtime==’web’,outputs[“Convert file to base64″].base64,”data:image/jpeg;base64,” + outputs[“Convert file to base64”].base64)

Note that currently there is a limit of about 100KB for the payload when calling VCF, so the images you store for now must be small, and it is discouraged to return images when performing “Get record collection”.
