Create an AWS CDK AppSync GraphQL API

Share this video with your friends

There are only a few steps you have to take to create a live GraphQL API with AWS CDK's AppSync package.

First, define a GraphQL schema. This is where you define the data you want to query and create query and mutation functions.

Then, AppSync is used to create a new GraphQL API, passing in the schema you just created. When you deploy, an API key will be generated. You will need this key to interact with the API.

install @aws-cdk/aws-appsync-alpha, then import and replace @aws-cdk/aws-appsync. Next, add the import { Construct } from 'constructs'.

Take out the cdk from the cdk.Construct.

Finally, chanage appsync.Schema to appsync.SchemaFile
