File uploads using apollo-server-lambda

[taikn]

Hi,
Could not find any mention, whether apollo-server-lambda supports the GraphQL multipart request specification for uploading files as mutation arguments (like apollo-server does)

Hello @taikn apollo-server-lambda supports uploading files as mutation arguments like apollo-server does!

[taikn]

Hmmm, I am getting following error, when trying to upload a file using apollo-server-lambda, while uploading a file using apollo-server with same config, works without problems.

SyntaxError: Unexpected number in JSON at position 1
at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
at graphqlHandler (/var/task/node_modules/apollo-server-lambda/dist/lambdaApollo.js:24:24)
at /var/task/node_modules/apollo-server-lambda/dist/ApolloServer.js:87:85

@taikn +1, getting the same error on simple graphql query execution:

I think that this error is due to apollo-server-lambda tries to parse event.body as JSON while apollo-upload-client sends uploading request with multipart/form-data content type
Here it is: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-server/blob/master/packages/apollo-server-lambda/src/lambdaApollo.ts#L46
@unicodeveloper I guess it should parse such requests with something else to actually support uploading files?

...apollo-server-lambda supports uploading files as mutation arguments like apollo-server does!

@unicodeveloper - I don't believe that's true, going over the source code of apollo-server-lambda, there are no references to apollo-server-upload, compare that to the koa and express variants, which both explicitly call processRequest from apollo-upload-server as middleware that runs before the actual query is run. Could you explain how the file upload is supposed to work in apollo-server-lambda?

Seeing this error as well.

Anybody able to fix this?

[craigcartmell]

I'd be keen for an update on this too. Or an alternative solution?

This looks like it could potentially be useful: https://github.com/myshenin/aws-lambda-multipart-parser#readme
