Would this be possible? Is there any way a mutation can support binary data as input? Or we would need to fallback to a REST endpoint for this? |

tRPC is JSON-only in it's current form so you'll have to either serialize the data to a base64 string or do a REST-ish-endpoint. Data isn't streamed to the resolvers so something like big uploads would be quite inefficient in the suggestion I'm describing (also base64 adds overhead). That said, I've done this plenty and it works really well as a quick solution that can be revisited later. |
