  A spec for GraphQL multipart form requests (file uploads).

The GraphQL specification itself doesn't natively support file uploads, so the solution typically involves using extensions or additional libraries. The easiest and most straightforward way is by converting the file to Base64 before sending it to the server, you can include it as a string in the GraphQL request. This offcourse has a downside, it can increase the payload size, so it may not be the most efficient solution for large files. Other options that involve using extensions or additional libraries are using GraphQL multipart request specification and Apollo Server with Apollo Upload Client
