Currently apollo-server-lambda does not support file upload with multipart request.
This repo is a demo for file upload using charleswong28's PR for apollo-server-lambda.

• install & build

// install packages
npm i
// compile apollo-server-lambda, to use tsc you might need to install typescript globally
npm run build

• run with sam cli

Debug lambda on cloud is a pain in the ass. You can use sam cli to run and debug locally.

To install sam cli (make sure you have docker installed): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-sam-cli-install.html

After install run:

npm start

Now you can use POSTMAN to test graphql api at http:https://localhost:4000/graphql

• install postman https://www.getpostman.com/

• import postman.json

• Two tests you an run

  • query files
  • file upload

for file upload, before request, go to Body select a file for Key = 1.

If you want to test on lambda. Make sure you have your aws cli & sam cli configured before run any command.
