A [terminating Apollo Link](https://apollographql.com/docs/react/api/link/introduction/#the-terminating-link) for [Apollo Client](https://apollographql.com/docs/react) that fetches a [GraphQL multipart request](https://github.com/jaydenseric/graphql-multipart-request-spec) if the GraphQL variables contain files (by default [`FileList`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileList), [`File`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File), or [`Blob`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob) instances), or else fetches a regular [GraphQL POST or GET request](https://apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/requests) (depending on the config and GraphQL operation).

Remove any `uri`, `credentials`, or `headers` options from the [`ApolloClient` constructor](https://apollographql.com/docs/react/api/core/ApolloClient/#the-apolloclient-constructor).

[Apollo Client](https://apollographql.com/docs/react) can only have 1 [terminating Apollo Link](https://apollographql.com/docs/react/api/link/introduction/#the-terminating-link) that sends the GraphQL requests; if one such as [`HttpLink`](https://apollographql.com/docs/react/api/link/apollo-link-http) is already setup, remove it.
