Graphql Upload
GraphQL Upload is a utility for Node.js environments that enables GraphQL servers to process file uploads. It functions by integrating custom scalar types into the GraphQL schema and providing middleware to intercept and parse incoming multipart requests.
The library distinguishes itself by handling file data as asynchronous readable streams, which allows servers to process large files without requiring intermediate local disk storage or loading entire files into memory. It also incorporates resource protection mechanisms, including configurable limits on file sizes and the total number of files per request, to prevent memory exhaustion and maintain server stability.
Beyond its core processing capabilities, the project provides validation for multipart request structures and field types to ensure data integrity. It is designed to be installed as a dependency within existing GraphQL server architectures to facilitate standard file transmission through mutations.
