Nelson:
The e-commerce app I am building right now uses a naming convention to do
this. We have about 15,250 products in the db each with a unique product_id
value. We simply name the image for the product whatever the product_id is.
And since we have three different sizes of the image we simply at sm- , md-
, or lg- infront of the product_id for each image size.
You can also store the image files in the database if you like. However, I
like this method better.
