Create prodcut medie from ProductCreate / ProductUpdate possible?

[mattayres]

Hi guys I am trying to work out if it is possible to use the mutations ProductCreate and /or ProductUpdate  to create product media if I parse it the URL of the media?

Is it possible to do it all in one go? Or do I have to do a ProductUpdate and THEN a ProductUpdateMedia

Obviously it would be beneficial to do it all in one go with the ProductCreate or ProductUpdate mutations...

The productCreate mutation takes a CreateMediaInput that can be used to add media at the same time as creating the product.  Is that what you are looking for?  The syntax is confusing to me because I still don't really understand graphql but it looks like this:

[dogowner]

product_media_query = """mutation productCreate($input: ProductInput!, $media: [CreateMediaInput!]) { productCreate(input: $input, media: $media) { product { id } shop { id } userErrors { field message } } } """

Syntax highlighting seems to only work sometimes here.  The media variable is a list of images, specified here:

You also should link the product variant to the media url via imageSrc(or maybe mediaSrc):
