graphql-transform-transformer

A custom transformer of the amplify-cli. It can transform fields.

directive @transform(expression: String!, foreach: Boolean = false) on FIELD_DEFINITION

Usage

1. Install package

npm install graphql-transform-transformer -D

or

yarn add graphql-transform-transformer -D

2. Setup custom transformer

Edit amplify/backend/api/<YOUR_API>/transform.conf.json and append "./graphql-transform-transformer" to transformers field.

    "transformers": [
      "graphql-transform-transformer"
    ]

3. Use @transform directive

Append @transform to target fields.

type Post @model {
  id: ID!
  title: String! @transform(expression: ".toLowerCase().trim()")
  text: String
  tags: [String!] @transform(expression: ".trim()", foreach: true)
}

You can refer the field itself by .. This transformer doesn't check type soundness, writing correct expressions are up to you.

3.1 How it works

AppSync uses Apache Velocity for resolver mapping. It supports basic operators like logical operators. Besides, It supports Java methods. Thus, you can do whatever you want. But I'm not sure which Java version is used inside AppSync, you may find missing methods.

| GraphQL Type | Java Class | | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ID | java.lang.String | | String | java.lang.String | | Int | java.lang.Integer | | Float | java.lang.Double | | Boolean | java.lang.Boolean | | Array | java.util.ArrayList | | Enum | java.lang.String |

4. Export NODE_PATH

This step isn't necessary once https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-cli/pull/3236 merged.

export NODE_PATH=./node_modules
