Caspio 53.0

With the release of Flex, we made available a new data type: Attachment. It’s a more efficient and advanced way to store files in your tables. It introduces the following features: 

• Configurable size range: Customize the allowed file size at the table level, enforcing the requirement consistently wherever this attachment is used.  
• File type requirements: In Attachment, we introduced the ability to define allowed file formats at the table level. 
• Support for much higher file sizes: Attachments of up to 1024 MB can be stored. For File data type, the limit was 500 MB. 
• Smart image resizer: Automatically generate a predefined range of images – thumbnail, small, medium, large via settings at the table level, applying to new files regardless of how they are added. At app rendering time, the most efficient and proper image size is used to optimize the performance of DataParts. 
• Image preview: see the preview of the image in the datasheet as well as when uploading a new image via a DataPart. 

REST API is updated to support operations on Attachment data type. Webhooks can be configured to send not only the Attachment file name, but also a direct link to the file. 

The Attachment data type is supported for DataParts in Flex, while the existing File data type remains functional and is supported for DataPages in Bridge. Note that files uploaded using the Attachment data type are not visible in the Files area of Bridge framework.
