Can Bluemix Cloudant synch api have a field to store image?

I have a mobile app that uses Mobilefirst Cloudant sdk to work on top of Bluemix. One type of the json document in the Cloudant DB needs to have an image as a field. Can you give me some example in Swift as how to store and read it? I have a Cloudant local datastore on the device, it is synched with the server. So I shouldnot need to worry about the performance?

Thanks.

  • Assuming you are using CDTDatastore, you should use the attachment's API which is designed to hold binary blobs, such as images, see using attachments in the CDTDatastore documentation. You should also read up about attachments and their possible performance implications in the Cloudant Documentation
