how to upload file

[DogeWatch]

Is there any example to show how to upload a file to the "Input!"?

I would love to know whether gql supports this, as well.

It doesn't look like this library currently supports files. Is there any plan to support the graphql multipart request spec in the future?

Happy to work on a PR for this as well.

@leahein the library doesn't support file uploads but there is a repo which implements that for Django and Flask servers, would be worth checking it: graphene-file-upload.

I was looking for file upload support for a python client that uses graphene-file-upload server-side.
I found this one that seems to support file uploads well.

@leahein best idea would be a separated repo to support this feature as this would be a third party integration with gql library, hence making easier to maintain the core features as there aren't many contributors around here 🤔

Now that the aiohttp transport is implemented in #70 It should be relatively easy to incorporate the implementation from aiogqlc

I think this would be a great addition to this library. I will accept your pull request in my own PR #70 if it comes with 100% test code coverage (and documentation).

Note: to create temporary files in the tests, you can use this method

You can create a test which will create a temporary text file, send this file in a mutation to the local created aiohttp server, the server will return the first line from the file.

Then another test with a mutation with a list of files which return a list of first lines.

Now that #70 has been merged, if you are still interested you should create your PR directly from the repo now.

@leszekhanusz Thanks for the details! I will work on adding file support 👍

[leszekhanusz]

@leahein did you make some progress on this ? I'll have some time in the following weeks so I will maybe start to implement this myself.

[leahein]

I did start on the feature here, but it's not complete.
Right now there are utils to check whether a request contains files, and I started the transformation for sending them with the requests lib.

@leahein The link should be https://github.com/leahein/gql/tree/file-support :)

At the end, the base implementation to implement should be https://github.com/jaydenseric/graphql-multipart-request-spec
