Is there an Array string in Payload CMS?
Hi, I tried to read the documentation, but I couldn't find it. Is there something to save array string to database?
I just want save array of strings
Ex: ["a","b","c"]
I don't want save array of objects like this, just need array of strings here
The
jsonfield might work for you: https://payloadcms.com/docs/fields/json#json-fieldHi @IRediTOTO, this isn't currently supported but would definitely be useful in many cases. This question was also discussed on discord here. A potential workaround solution would be to:
- Create a hidden
preferencesfield - On save, map the original array and return as an array of strings
- Pass this new array to your hidden field
There might be more appropriate workarounds too if you want to share more information on what you're looking to achieve, let us know if you need further help here!
