# Working with documents in a workflow

Rulecube contains some specialized methods that you can use within a workflow to handle uploaded or generated workflow documents.

**Workflow\.getDocuments()**

Get all documents from the database that are related to the current workflow.

Returns a list of `WorkflowDocument`.

**Workflow\.getDocument(documentTypeName)**

Get a document from the database with the given `documentTypeName`.

The `documentTypeName` parameter should match one of the document types defined in the workflow Settings.

Returns a `WorkflowDocument`.

**Workflow\.getDocumentDataUri(documentTypeName)**

Get a document from the database as a `data URI`.

The `documentTypeName` parameter should match one of the document types defined in the workflow Settings.

Returns a `string`.

**Workflow\.saveDocument(documentTypeName, dataUri, fileName?)**

Save a document to the database. This is useful for when you want your application to generate a document and store it.

The `documentTypeName` parameter should match one of the document types defined in the workflow Settings. 

The `dataUri` parameter is the Base64 data URI of the document.

The `fileName` parameter is optional and defines the name of the file.

Returns `void`.

{% code fullWidth="true" %}

```javascript
// This assumes there is a Document Type defined in the workflow with the name 'MyDocument'.' 
Workflow.saveDocument('MyDocument', 'data:text/plain;base64,SG93ZHkgcGFydG5lciE=');  

// The 3rd parameter is optional and can be used to set the file name. 
Workflow.saveDocument('MyDocument', 'data:text/plain;base64,SG93ZHkgcGFydG5lciE=', 'MyFile.txt'); 

```

{% endcode %}
