CRUD from the browser, safely.

If you’re a regular visitor here, you may have noticed I cover a lot on the Portal Web API.

You may be asking why upload using the API when we can now use a basic form or multistep form to upload to file columns?

In case you’re impatient like me, there’s a full web template at the end of this post that includes displaying existing images, uploading and displaying new images, and even visual feedback… and error handling.

It’s been quite a while since my last blog post. However, this topic has the potential to be so transformational, I just had to get my thoughts down.

Relatively recently, Dataverse introduced the File column type.

Please note that this has been superseded by a newer, better approach since the addition of the new File and Image columns in Dataverse.

While this technique still works and is still valid for custom templates, Power Pages forms and lists now support image columns

So, why did I write this post? The Portal Web API is awesome and it’s fast.
