base64 image in payloadcms
Is it possible to have image upload field, but instead of storing image as a file, I'd like to convert it to base64 encoded string and put it directly to the MongoDB.
How should one go about this ?
Storing images as base64 in the DB is not currently supported. Feel free to submit a feature request, so we can discuss/prioritize with everyone.

It's likely possible to implement an adapter for

We just store it as string.. right now we ask the customer to convert manually and paste the string 😅😆 that should work right
I was thinking then of just creating a custom component that will handle the "upload* and conversion to b64
Yes, as long as you handle the conversion on your own 👍
