The Content Repository Plugin is used to implement a persistence layer for data so that you can store images and videos using this plugin. It contains a repository, folders and files, so you create a repository (parent folder) in which subfolders can be stored in any hierarchy.

Example call of a Content Repository Plugin function via a server-side Business Object:

var result = Simplifier.Plugin.contentRepoPlugin.contentRepositoryAdd({
    "provider": "ClearFileSystem",
    "name": input.name,
    "description": input.description,
    "permissionObjectType" : "App",
    "permissionObjectID": "DummyApp"
});

The payload configuration depends on the required slot.

Difference between File System and Clear File System:

The file system stores the received content repository data in a database.
The clear file system stores this data in an actual file system (compare Windows Explorer).

Restrictions

The content repository supports documents up to 20 MB in general with the default configuration. In Setups with only little concurrency, little traffic in general and an extended memory assignment, it may handle files up to 50 MB correctly. Larger files are not supported.
