How to Store Image in SQLite Database in React Native

Question

I have taken an image with Image Picker and want to store it in sqlite database and retrive it. Should I store uri which I got in reponse from Image Picker or what should I do,

Thanks!

Answer 1

My honest opinion is to use a dedicated storage space for your images, and store the url and the image meta data in your database.

You can store your image as a base64, however this will take up a lot of space in your database, and the conversion to base64 and back to binary may even make the image size bigger.

Stick to a storage solution for your image (Both Google and AWS offers them), and save the url in your database.

Answer 2

you have to save image in local storage and save uri of that in SQLite . that's way is the better performance.
