This plugin extends a popular GraphQL implementation for a headless CMS by adding support for file uploads. It is designed for developers building modern applications, such as mobile apps or static sites, that need to send media files to a content backend using GraphQL. By implementing the official multipart request specification, it provides a standardized way to handle uploads within a GraphQL API.

• Upload Scalar Type: Introduces a dedicated Upload scalar type that can be used in mutation input fields, providing a clear and type-safe interface for file data.
• Specification Compliance: Follows the established graphql-multipart-request-spec, ensuring compatibility with client libraries and tools that support this standard for handling file uploads over GraphQL.
• Direct Media Handling: Allows mutations to process uploaded files directly, enabling operations like creating media library entries or attaching files to posts without relying on separate REST endpoints.
• Standardized Workflow: Integrates with the platform's existing file handling functions, such as wp_handle_sideload, to manage the uploaded file's storage and validation securely.
• Simplified Client-Side Code: Enables front-end applications to send files as part of a GraphQL mutation request, reducing the complexity of managing multiple API calls for media and data.
