The VariantInput type takes an imageSrc value, which will download and apply the image to the variant at the time of creation. ...
I'm having no joy in this. The GraphQL interface does accept the imageSrc ... but ignores it. When I query the database for images or look at it using the shopify paroduct page, these images do not exist.
Please advise ... is there a better / different way to add variants AND images AND assign the images to the variants to a product in one shot?
Thanks and best regards, jb
My input code:
mutation {
productUpdate(input:
{title: "title for howlites",
descriptionHtml: "wordy descr howlites",
tags: "oval, stoney",
id: "gid://shopify/Product/5383773421732"
variants: [
{
sku: "144",
barcode:"short descr 144",
options: "option144",
},
{
sku: "145",
barcode:"short descr 145",
options: "option145",
},
],
images: [
{
altText: "image of f0142"
},
],
}
) {
product {
id images (first:5) {
edges {
node {
id
}
}
}
variants (first:5) {
edges {
node {
id
}
}
}
}
userErrors {

message
}
}
}
The response I received:
