Add .env:

cp .env.sample .env

Provide values for HYGRAPH_TOKEN and HYGRAPH_ENDPOINT keys.

The HYGRAPH_TOKEN must have permission to create and read gassets.

The HYGRAPH_ENDPOINT must be appended with /upload.

Install & Run:

cd with-upload-proxy

Once the server is running, make a request to http://localhost:4000/upload with your fileUpload using Content-Type: multipart/form-data.
