How do i upload a file to ariadne?

[mihailpettas]

Ive tried the scalar guide but nothing reaches the endpoint

I have the same question. Someone has an example? or solution?
My code

from ariadne import make_executable_schema
from ariadne.asgi import GraphQL
from . import type_defs, resolvers

schema = make_executable_schema(type_defs, resolvers)
app = GraphQL(schema)

And then start server

uvicorn example:app

Remember that you also need to configure file uploads in the client, so files are actually sent to your GraphQL server by the client.

For example, for Apollo Client you have to use the apollo-upload-client

Privately speaking I prefer having separate non-GraphQL endpoint for uploads, because that way I can have upload progress bar and I don't have long-running GraphQL requests in the app, but I've got quick proof of concept for user avatar uploads in my personal project and it worked on first try:

Apollo Client setup using the apollo-upload-client: https://github.com/rafalp/misago-client/blob/1585a0b81b1e8d99b24e7d6437df3009fc51b642/src/apolloClient.ts#L24
