Storing file metadataΒΆ

It is a common use-case to store extra information or metadata along with a file. For this, you should create a custom table in the data microservice and use that to store the file metadata.

To store file metadata:

  1. Create a table (e.g file_info) in the data microservice. (refer Creating a table)
  2. Along with all the columns you want to add to the table, add a column called file_id.
  3. Whenever a successful file upload happens, enter a row about that file in your table. Use the file_id value returned by the File API to link the row to the uploaded file.
