A terminating Apollo Link for Apollo Client that sends GraphQL multipart requests when variables contain files (FileList, File, or Blob), falling back to regular GraphQL POST or GET requests otherwise. It works alongside the graphql-multipart-request-spec ecosystem, including the graphql-upload server middleware.
Use cases
- upload files via graphql mutations from react
- send filelist to graphql server with apollo client
- replace httplink with upload-capable apollo link
- implement graphql multipart request spec on the client
- upload blobs and files in react native apps
- handle file uploads in apollo client mutations
When to choose
- you use Apollo Client and need file uploads in GraphQL variables
- your GraphQL server implements the GraphQL multipart request spec
- you want a drop-in terminating link supporting both uploads and regular queries
When to avoid
- you don't use Apollo Client
- your server doesn't support the GraphQL multipart request spec
- you need uploads over a non-HTTP transport
