fyi.upload

A small PhoneGap app, inspired by a recent blog post by Raymond Camden, intended to show how much easier FatFractal makes it to create an object containing a blob.

For the impatient, here's the money part. The relevant code for uploading with Parse:

/*
A bit complex - we have to handle an optional pic save
*/
if (imagedata != "") {
	var parseFile = new Parse.File("mypic.jpg", {base64:imagedata});
	console.log(parseFile);
		parseFile.save().then(function() {
			var note = new NoteOb();
			note.set("text",noteText);
			note.set("picture",parseFile);
			note.save(null, {
				success:function(ob) {
					$.mobile.changePage("#home");
				}, error:function(e) {
					console.log("Oh crap", e);
				}
			});
			cleanUp();
		}, function(error) {
			console.log("Error");
			console.log(error);
		});

} else {
	var note = new NoteOb();
	note.set("text",noteText);
	note.save(null, {
		success:function(ob) {
			$.mobile.changePage("#home");
		}, error:function(e) {
			console.log("Oh crap", e);
		}
	});
	cleanUp();
}

Here's the FatFractal code:

// Not even a little bit complex -- just set the member
var newNote = {
    clazz: "Note",
    text: noteText
};
if (imagedata) newNote.picture = imagedata;

ff.createObjAtUri(newNote, "/Note", function(result) {
    $.mobile.changePage("#home");
}, function(error) {
    console.log("Oh crap", error);
});
cleanUp();

The only other significant change was to switch to reading the image from the filesystem rather than receive it as a base64-encoded string, which is better practice anyway.
