File uploading is an important part of the majority of websites, and since GraphQL is getting more and more traction, GraphQL community began asking how can we upload files using GraphQL.

Then Jayden Seric had created a  specification for GraphQL multipart request and created an  upload package for GraphQL to support multipart request. After that Apollo had added this feature into Apollo Server 2.0. So now we can easily upload a file using GraphQL.

Server Configuration

We are using the apollo-server for creating the GraphQL server. Apollo-Server has a great documentation to get started. So let’s create the root directory and install the required packages. apollo-server has integrations for popular Node.js libraries like express, koa etc.
