Add `file_metadata` field to objects schema about storage HOT 35 CLOSED

@bombillazo I generally agree that allowing Storing arbritary metadata could be a nice feature to have in Storage.
Will add this on the roadmap! 🎉

@fenos
Thank you for your work on this project. Could you please provide an example implementation for this feature? It would be really helpful for understanding how to integrate it properly.

Hi @Aadilhassan thanks for your kind words.
I still need to implement this feature in storage-js (the client) once that's done I'll create the official docs.

Will let you know when these are done 👍 very excited to have this feature!

@tusamni Yes correct! 🎉

@bombillazo The client-side changes are in the making

strong agree on adding custom metadata per storge object. Having to maintain a mirror table just for additional data is a pain, especially the lack of usable triggers to keep both sides in sync.

@fenos was just looking for this and couldn't be happier to see this is currently being worked on.

Thank you!
Patiently waiting.

Yeah... any news on it would be nice. Perhaps we should open a new one for this since this case is closed, which is also kind of weird to close a case while there is no way using this feature.... @fenos

+1 for this. I'm currently working with AI generated images and need to store the prediction parameters that generated each image. Otherwise I gotta use AWS S3 cuz I know they have metadata feature.

This would improve my workflow with supabase as well. Right now, I need to keep a separate table and keep it in sync every time i upload, move or delete objects.

I switched from self hosting to supabase, closed down my own s3 bucket to use supabase storage, and now I can't store metadata on the objects... Please please please add this functionality!

Great request.

@fenos on this topic, since we're not sure when we might get this, is it wise to add a custom trigger to the storage schema so that when a DELETE event happens on the objects table, we can automatically delete it in our metadata table?

These are the types of things having a dedicated file_metadata field would prevent so we wouldn't have to sync data and resources across tables.

Thanks for the update @fenos. I'm currently building my photography portfolio. I'm assuming I'd be able to store photo JSON data alongside each image uploaded to storage, correct?

If so, I'm a customer now!

from storage.

Hey @fenos , I'm excited about this feature!

I saw the changes and don't see any way to pass the new user_metadata field to the POST/PUT Storage API endpoints.

from storage.

Hey there.
So...any update or documentation on this? I saw a merged PR but I couldn't find a way to have it working.
Should I go ahead and create a table and all that it implies to deal with extra data for media?

Thanks.
