The application has two types of fields that support graphic files, namely:

• Image
• Image (many)

Adding an image

The difficulty with adding a graphic file is the proper preparation of fields in the query. At the beginning, you should prepare a list of fields that should be completed when creating / editing a record via API.

Module field structure can be found in the field edition panel in Software configuration → Standard modules → Edit fields.

Once you're familiar with the structure you can move on to constructing the queries.

Each graphic file created at the API level requires three variables:

• name

  File name

• key

  Random of characters string, unique within the pool of graphic files of a given field

• baseContent

  Graphic file converted to base64
