I have an image as a base64 string obtained using this signature pad:
https://github.com/szimek/signature_pad
I want to save signatures for future retrieval via the REST API. I’m thinking that i could just use a textarea field and display it as a data: url. Is that the best way to go about doing this?
Yes that will be fine. Save it as text field. And you can display the image on detailview if you want.
Okay I can save it as a text field, but when I tried testing the size of the base64 string for the signature, it came out to roughly 84,000 characters. Won’t text fields be limited to less than this?
By text field i Mean the textarea.
Thanks for your reply. I decided to save this as a .png file instead.
How would you display the image on detailview–Can you point me to an article or forum post explaining how to do this? Thanks
