AWS AppSync JavaScript SDK ·

AWS AppSync is a fully managed service that makes it easy to develop GraphQL APIs by handling the heavy lifting of securely connecting to data sources like AWS DynamoDB, Lambda, and more.

You can use any HTTP or GraphQL client to connect to a GraphQL API on AppSync.

For front-end web and mobile development, we recommend using the Amplify clients which are optimized to connect to the AppSync backend.

For DynamoDB data sources, use the DataStore category in the Amplify client. It provides the best developer experience and built-in conflict detection and resolution.
For non-DynamoDB data sources in scenarios where you have no offline requirements, use the API (GraphQL) category in the Amplify client.
For use cases where you are utilizing the Apollo V3 client, use the Apollo Links in this repository to help with authorization and subscriptions.

AWS AppSync Links for Apollo V3

If you would like to use the Apollo JavaScript client version 3 to connect to your AppSync GraphQL API, this repository (on the current stable branch) provides Apollo links to use the different AppSync authorization modes, and to setup subscriptions over web sockets. Please log questions for this client SDK in this repo and questions for the AppSync service in the official AWS AppSync forum .

Example usage of Apollo V3 links

AWS AppSync JavaScript SDK

The aws-appsync and aws-appsync-react packages work with the Apollo client version 2 and provide offline capabilities.

Note: if you do not have any offline requirements in your app, we recommend using the Amplify libraries.

Installation

npm

npm install --save aws-appsync

yarn

yarn add aws-appsync

React Native Compatibility

When using this library with React Native, you need to ensure you are using the correct version of the library based on your version of React Native. Take a look at the table below to determine what version to use.

`aws-appsync` version	Required React Native Version
`2.x.x`	`>= 0.60`
`1.x.x`	`<= 0.59`

If you are using React Native 0.60 and above, you also need to install @react-native-community/netinfo and @react-native-community/async-storage:

npm install --save @react-native-community/[email protected] @react-native-community/async-storage

yarn add @react-native-community/[email protected] @react-native-community/async-storage

If you are using React Native 0.60+ for iOS, run the following command as an additional step:

npx pod-install

Using Authorization and Subscription links with Apollo Client V3 (No offline support)

For versions of the Apollo client newer than 2.4.6 you can use custom links for Authorization and Subscriptions. Offline support is not available for these newer versions. The packages available are aws-appsync-auth-link and aws-appsync-subscription-link. Below is a sample code snippet that shows how to use it.

import { createAuthLink } from "aws-appsync-auth-link";
import { createSubscriptionHandshakeLink } from "aws-appsync-subscription-link";

import { ApolloLink } from "apollo-link";
import { createHttpLink } from "apollo-link-http";
import ApolloClient from "apollo-client";
import { InMemoryCache } from "apollo-cache-inmemory";

import appSyncConfig from "./aws-exports";

const url = appSyncConfig.aws_appsync_graphqlEndpoint;
const region = appSyncConfig.aws_appsync_region;
const auth = {
  type: appSyncConfig.aws_appsync_authenticationType,
  apiKey: appSyncConfig.aws_appsync_apiKey,
  // jwtToken: async () => token, // Required when you use Cognito UserPools OR OpenID Connect. token object is obtained previously
  // credentials: async () => credentials, // Required when you use IAM-based auth.
};

const httpLink = createHttpLink({ uri: url });

const link = ApolloLink.from([
  createAuthLink({ url, region, auth }),
  createSubscriptionHandshakeLink({ url, region, auth }, httpLink),
]);

const client = new ApolloClient({
  link,
  cache: new InMemoryCache(),
});

Queries and Subscriptions using Apollo V3

import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import { gql, useSubscription } from "@apollo/client";
import { useMutation, useQuery } from "@apollo/client";
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from "uuid";

const initialState = { name: "", description: "" };

const App = () => {

  const LIST_TODOS = gql`
    query listTodos {
      listTodos {
        items {
          id
          name
          description
        }
      }
    }
  `;

  const {
    loading: listLoading,
    data: listData,
    error: listError,
  } = useQuery(LIST_TODOS);

  const CREATE_TODO = gql`
    mutation createTodo($input: CreateTodoInput!) {
      createTodo(input: $input) {
        id
        name

      }
    }
  `;

  // https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/data/mutations/
  const [addTodoMutateFunction, { error: createError }] =
    useMutation(CREATE_TODO);

  async function addTodo() {
    try {
      addTodoMutateFunction({ variables: { input: { todo } } });
    } catch (err) {
      console.log("error creating todo:", err);
    }
  }

  const DELETE_TODO = gql`
    mutation deleteTodo($input: DeleteTodoInput!) {
      deleteTodo(input: $input) {
        id
        name
        description
      }
    }
  `;

  const [deleteTodoMutateFunction] = useMutation(DELETE_TODO, {
    refetchQueries: [LIST_TODOS, "listTodos"],
  });

  async function removeTodo(id) {
    try {
      deleteTodoMutateFunction({ variables: { input: { id } } });
    } catch (err) {
      console.log("error deleting todo:", err);
    }
  }

  const CREATE_TODO_SUBSCRIPTION = gql`
    subscription OnCreateTodo {
      onCreateTodo {
        id
        name

export default App;

Creating a client (Apollo V2)

import AWSAppSyncClient from "aws-appsync";
import AppSyncConfig from "./aws-exports";
import { ApolloProvider } from "react-apollo";
import { Rehydrated } from "aws-appsync-react"; // this needs to also be installed when working with React

    // jwtToken: async () => token, // Required when you use Cognito UserPools OR OpenID Connect. Token object is obtained previously
    // credentials: async () => credentials, // Required when you use IAM-based auth.
  },
});

})(App);

Offline configuration (Apollo V2)

When using the AWS AppSync SDK offline capabilities (e.g. disableOffline: false), you can provide configurations for the following:

Error handling
Custom storage engine

Error handling

If a mutation is done while the app was offline, it gets persisted to the platform storage engine. When coming back online, it is sent to the GraphQL endpoint. When a response is returned by the API, the SDK will notify you of the success or error using the callback provided in the offlineConfig param as follows:

const client = new AWSAppSyncClient({
  url: appSyncConfig.graphqlEndpoint,
  region: appSyncConfig.region,
  auth: {
    type: appSyncConfig.authenticationType,
    apiKey: appSyncConfig.apiKey,
  },
  offlineConfig: {
    callback: (err, succ) => {
      if (err) {
        const { mutation, variables } = err;

        console.warn(`ERROR for ${mutation}`, err);
      } else {
        const { mutation, variables } = succ;

        console.info(`SUCCESS for ${mutation}`, succ);
      }
    },
  },
});

Custom storage engine

You can use any custom storage engine from the redux-persist supported engines list.

Configuration is done as follows: (localForage shown in the example)

import * as localForage from "localforage";

const client = new AWSAppSyncClient({
  url: appSyncConfig.graphqlEndpoint,
  region: appSyncConfig.region,
  auth: {
    type: appSyncConfig.authenticationType,
    apiKey: appSyncConfig.apiKey,
  },
  offlineConfig: {
    storage: localForage,
  },
});

Offline helpers

For detailed documentation about the offline helpers, look at the API Definition.
