PowerField to retrieve Files information

[Mehdi]

Hi,
I'm trying to add the Files URI when getting data from a related Data type. In the custom data type, I have this and

Everlive.Events.beforeRead(function(request, context, done) {
    request.powerFieldsExpression = {
        "ImageInfo": {
            "queryType": "get",
            "contentType": "Files",
            "filter" : {
                "Id" : "${image}"
            }
        }
    };
    done();
});

returns "ImageInfo: null" in the result.

Can someone help me to add the meta from a file linked to an object?

Thanks

Hi Mehdi,

Thank you for posting to the Telerik Developer Forums.

The "Files" content type is accessed in the following way with a Power Fields expression (note the System.Files) option:

request.powerFieldsExpression = {
    "FileObject" : {
        "queryType" : "get",
        "contentType" : "System.Files",
        "filter" : {
            "Id" : "${image}"
        }
    }
};

Let me know if this helps and if you have questions.

Best regards,
