GraphiQL - upload file

Question

How can we upload files using in-browser GraphQL IDE GraphiQL, is that even possible ? (apart from base64 encoded string)

Once I have the file stream / file contents I can create a mulipart request and store on DB or some object-storage service. But I am not able to figure it out how to provide the file input / how the schema would look like. Is it better to use graphql-upload with Curl request. Please suggest which is the optimal solution.

Answer 1

I was able to upload a file in my mutation input using Altair. You can use the Add files button to upload a file, then use the upload name on your mutation.
