contents

This property provides access to the raw contents of a record. For attachments this gives access to the contents of the actual attachments, for other records it gives access to the record's contents.lr file.

It provides many useful attributes and methods to do something with the contents of that file:

Properties

Property Description
sha1 The SHA1 hash of the contents as hexadecimal string
md5 The MD5 hash of the contents as hexadecimal string
integrity A subresource integrity string (read about it)
mimetype The guessed mimetype of the object
bytes The number of bytes for the contents as integer

Methods

Method Description
as_data_url() Returns a data URL for the contents. Optionally accepts a different mimetype than the guessed one.
as_text() Returns the contents of the file as text. UTF-8 is assumed.
as_bytes() Returns the contents of the file as bytes.
as_base64() Returns the contents of the file as base64 encoded bytes.
open() Opens the file for editing. Accepts r or rb as modes and a second argument which is the file encoding.

Example
