Localized assets

#Hygraph Asset Management

Our asset system lets you create a localizations by providing as fileName (optional) and uploadUrl. You can use the createAsset mutation and create the localization simultaneously, or use updateAsset and add a localization to an existing asset.

The following example shows the URL upload of an asset along with its localized content:

mutation test {
  createAsset(
    data: {
			uploadUrl: "<UPLOAD_URL>"
      localizations:{
        create: {
          locale: de
          data:{
            uploadUrl: "<LOCALE_UPLOAD_URL>"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ) {
    id
    url
    localizations {
      id
      url
    }
  }
}

This other example updates an existing asset entry, adding the de localization:

mutation test {
  updateAsset(
    where: {id: "<ASSET_ID>"}
    data: {
      localizations: {
        create: {
          locale: de, 
          data: { 
            uploadUrl: "<LOCALE_UPLOAD_URL>"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ) {
    id
    locale
    url
    localizations {
      url
      locale
    }
  }
}

#Legacy asset system

Since assets are localized by default, you can upload a file for your project locales.

You can do this from the UI: Simply navigate to Assets and access the edit view of your asset entry.

Click the eye icon next to your localization to ensure the Upload button is visible.
