Question: does this support File Blobs, particularly images?

[conatus]

Hi @joelseq! Thanks so much for your work on this.

Just wondered if the UI supports file blobs, in particular images?

I can't seem to see any reference to this in the code, but maybe I am missing something.

Thanks so much for reading this!

Thanks for checking it out @conatus ! I don't think the UI would currently support file blobs unfortunately. The logic for displaying column values can be found here. It's currently setup to just output the raw value and wrap it in an EditableCell so its value can be changed. Can you share more about your use case?

I was going to ask the same thing

My use case is a simple way to store links to files in the db . The files in reality will exist on the FS os an S3 somewhere .

I really like how you kept it simple using chi btw

@joeblew999 thanks for sharing your use case! Would something like a custom render setting for each column solve for this? That way the UI doesn't have to try to infer if a particular file path / url is an image and render it as such.

Thanks!
