How to show Blob data in Custom JS Chart?

Pratap Singh shared this problem 6 years ago

Hi ,

We need to show logo in our custom JS chart , for that we have a binary field in Database but when trying to render Binary data to image it is appending binary data field as follows in both cases (fomatted and raw data) :


data.logo[0].row_data

<.img style="width: 100%;" src=undefined" alt="logo">


data.logo[0].formatted_data

<.img style="width: 100%;" src=<Binary Data>" alt="logo">


How to fix this?

Regards

Thanks Pratap,

I have replicated this and raised a defect to address this:

#10289

In the meantime, your best bet would probably be to create a free-hand SQL calc field to cast this to a text data type.

Let me know if you have any question on this.

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for the revert,

We have tried the solution suggested by you but it doesn't work, as text field not able to fetch full Blob field length.

Hi Pratap,

Another work around here is to store these images in the Yellowfin ROOT directory and then access them by path in the JS chart:

<img src="/myimage.png">

Will this work?

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for the suggestion we are currently using this workaround but in some specific cases we need to pick from Blob field only.

Hi Pratap,

Unfortunately I cannot think of anything else that might work here other than writing your own query in JS... Once the devs get a chance to look at this they may have a better work around.

Sorry for the troubles.
