How can I upload images or files to strapi using graphQl.

I'm using Cloudinary as the image provider. The strapi admin panel works fine, uploads the images to cloudinary. But, when using graphQl mutation I get an error.

This is the mutation I've tried

''' mutation { createProject(data: { title: "$name", description: "$description", completed: $completed, start_date: "$startDate", end_date: "$endDate", project_logo: upload(file: $projectLogo){ name }, publishedAt: "${publishedAt}Z" }){ data{ id, attributes{ title, description, completed, start_date, end_date } } } }''';

I'm using flutter to pick the image and the graphql plugin to send the mutation. The image projectLogo is of Uint8List?

when I Try-Catch the error, this is what is showing

EXCEPTION=> Error on line 8, column 29: Expected an object field name ╷ 8 │ project_logo: upload(file: [137, 80.....])

I am unfamiliar with Flutter, but I guess there must be some code to push the mutation (it seems like a JSON payload to me, is it a GraphQL query?). Not sure if that's relevant to the question, but it might be.

Yes its a graphQl mutation. The Flutter code that's pushing the query works fine. For instance when I remove the project_logo field and value, I'm able to push and update the data to my strapi backend.

The problem I'm facing really is on how I can upload an image to strapi using a graphQl query.

Here's how strapi works with the images: it upload the file to media provider like cloudinary or google storage; it gets the ID from the provider and updates it's records in the DB.

There's something wrong with how I'm writing my query to update the image itself😬

I am not familiar with Flutter but I am confident that this article will help you but this one uses Nuxt.js v3 Article: https://strapi.io/blog/how-to-build-a-photo-sharing-app-with-nuxt-3-graph-ql-cloudinary-postgres-and-strapi
