appsync-cognito-query

Package that makes easier the graphql requests to appsync when the authentication method is Cognito user pools

Getting Started

After installing the package, import the query manager as any package other package like this:

const acq = require('appsync-cognito-query');

Then we need to init the query manager and set the endpoint.

const manager = acq.init(YOUR_APPSYNC_ENDPOINT);

Then we can access the main functions of the manager. For a mutation query for example first we need to authenticate and then we can use graphql with the query method:

await manager.authenticateUser(YOUR_USER_POOL_ID, YOUR_CLIENT_ID, COGNITO_USER_USERNAME, COGNITO_USER_PASSWORD);

const mutation = `
        mutation CreateMessage {
          createMessage(input: {
            messageChatId:"5523456789",
            id: "12345",
            content:"Message content",
            createdAt: "2019-07-01T20:26:57.761Z",
            type: "TEXT"
          }) {
          id
          content
          type
          createdAt
      }
}`;

await manager.query(mutation);
