TaylorDB Attachments

Attachments are treated as standard columns and can be selected and written like other fields, using helper utilities for uploads.

This document covers:

• Selecting attachment fields
• Creating records with attachments
• Updating attachments

---

Select Attachments

// New Standard: Use regular .select() like any other field.
const expenses = await qb
  .selectFrom("expenses")
  .select(["id", "amount", "receipt"])
  .execute();

---

Create with Attachments

Use qb.uploadAttachments to upload files before inserting.

await qb
  .insertInto("customers")
  .values({
    firstName: "Jane",
    lastName: "Doe",
    avatar: await qb.uploadAttachments([
      { file: new Blob([""]), name: "test.png" },
    ]),
  })
  .execute();

---

Update with Attachments

await qb
  .update("customers")
  .set({
    lastName: "Smith",
    avatar: await qb.uploadAttachments([
      { file: new Blob([""]), name: "test.png" },
    ]),
  })
  .where("id", "=", 1)
  .execute();
