I need this too...

Hello you can send multipart request using below method via Postman

First You have to define your type with GraphqlScalar E.G,
const GraphQLProfilePic = new GraphQLScalarType({
name: 'profilePic',
parseValue: value => value,
parseLiteral() {
throw new Error('‘Upload’ scalar literal unsupported.')
},
serialize() {
throw new Error('‘Upload’ scalar serialization unsupported.')
},
})

**{
query: mutation($file: Upload!) { uploadFile(file: $file) { id } },
variables: {
file: File // a.txt
}
}
**

First Field

{ "query": "mutation ($file: Upload!) { singleUpload(file: $file) { id } }", "variables": { "file": null } }
Second Field
{ "0": ["variables.file"] }
Third Field
file where you can use choose file from dropdown instead choosing text field .

@iamfrntdv you can see request format here https://github.com/jaydenseric/graphql-multipart-request-spec

@ferso What do you mean by "This works for me"? What did you implement?

@mayankpandav We're talking about passing multipart data through graphql-request. Why are you talking about Postman?

Now the real question is: How can we implement a multipart request with graphql-request?

[mayankpandav]

@nagman are you talking about client side or server side?

[nagman]

@mayankpandav Client. graphql-request is a GraphQL client.

[nagman]

@mayankpandav Yet we're on the graphql-request package. Why would you share something from relay-runtime?

I don't understand the point with this topic.

I too would like to see file upload support in graphql-request using the multipart specification. Is this issue about that and if so why is it closed? AFAIK multipart support is not implemented in graphql-request.

Why is this closed?

[jonaskello]

You might want to try this package: https://github.com/dividab/graphql-simple-fetch

Bump for this.

I think this feature would be great as well, I'm proxying graphql requests and this was the only feature left to make it complete.

[pfalomorblab]

it would be great to have this

I've created PR to solve this issue #175

[lynxtaa]

Meanwhile I've published https://www.npmjs.com/package/awesome-graphql-client with GraphQL Upload support in NodeJS and browsers which also solves #61 and #10
Hope you enjoy!

Thanks @lynxtaa, exactly what I needed
