Store images in a MongoDB database

Question

How can I store images in a MongoDB database rather than just text  Can I create an array of images in a MongoDB database  Will it be possible to do the same for videos

You can use the bin data type if you are using any scripting language to store files/images in MongoDB. Bin data is developed to store small size of files.

Refer to your scripting language driver. For PHP, click here.

You should always use GridFS for storing files larger than 16MB  - When should I use GridFS    MongoDB BSON documents are capped at 16 nbsp MB  So if the total size of your array of files is less than that  you may store them directly in your document using the BinData data type   Videos  images  PDFs  spreadsheets  etc  - it doesn t matter  they are all treated the same  It s up to your application to return an appropriate content type header to display them   Check out the GridFS documentation for more details

http   blog mongodb org post 183689081 storing-large-objects-and-files-in-mongodb  There is a Mongoose plugin available on NPM called mongoose-file  It lets you add a file field to a Mongoose Schema for file upload  I have never used it but it might prove useful   If the images are very small you could Base64 encode them and save the string to the database    Storing some small  under 1MB  files with MongoDB in NodeJS WITHOUT GridFS
