This an example of an AppSync GraphQL API, pointing to four resolvers doing CRUD operations with a single DynamoDB table.

To build this app, you need to be in this example's root folder. Then run the following:

$ python3 -m venv .env
$ source .env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install the necessary CDK, then this example's dependencies, and then build your Python files and your CloudFormation template.

Install the latest version of the AWS CDK CLI:

$ npm i -g aws-cdk

Run cdk deploy. This will deploy / redeploy your Stack to your AWS Account.

After the deployment you will see the API's URL, which represents the url you can then use.

To see the Cloudformation template generated by the CDK, run cdk synth, then check the output file in the "cdk.out" directory.

This Stack contains:

• a GraphQL API with an API Key (Use with caution, each key is only valid for 7 days.)
• a GraphQL Schema with Queries to get one and all items and two mutations to save and delete an item
• a DynamoDB table items that stores the data with a Pay Per Request Billing Mode
• an IAM Role that allows AppSync to invoke your DynamoDB table.
• an AppSync DataSource, connecting your API to the DynamoDB table with the previously specified role.
• a AppSync Resolver for a Query getOne to get one item from the DynamoDB table.
• a AppSync Resolver for a Query all to get all items from the DynamoDB table.
• a AppSync Resolver for a Mutation save to put an item into the DynamoDB table (the id is autogenerated, you need only name).
• a AppSync Resolver for a Mutation delete to delete one item from the DynamoDB table.
