Apollo Federation file upload
This library makes it easier to support file uploads to your federated micro-services. It uses the Apollo server's solution. It works by simply redirecting the file uploaded stream to the micro-service. This package does not use third-party services to send the package to your micro-services.
Apollo Federation V2 Support
Please, use version 4.0.0+. For Federation V1 use 3.0.0 or earlier.
Using HTTP Transfer-Encoding: chunked
By default, the FileUploadDataSource
uses chunked transfers; we
advise that you do not change this setup. However, for some reason
you can't support this kind of transfer, one can provide the useChunkedTransfer
option to the FileUploadDataSource
constructor as false
to not
use chunked transfer (See the example below on setting this property).
Be advised once again that this can lead to DDOS attacks.
Example
On your Gateway, you must add the FileUploadDataSource
in order
to the micro-service be able to receive the uploaded file(s).
import { ApolloServer } from 'apollo-server';
import { ApolloGateway } from '@apollo/gateway';
import FileUploadDataSource from '@abrevior/apollo-federation-upload';
const runServer = async () => {
const server = new ApolloServer({
gateway: new ApolloGateway({
// Add this line in order to support file uploads.
buildService: ({ url }) => new FileUploadDataSource({ url, useChunkedTransfer: true }),
serviceList: [
/* The services ... */
],
})
});
const { url } = await server.listen();
console.log(`🚀 Server ready at ${url}`);
};
runServer().catch(error => {
console.error('💥 Failed to start server:', error);
process.exit(1);
});
