This is a custom GraphQL transformer for using with AWS AppSync and Amplify.

It allows you to automatically create an input for a type on the schema without having to recreate the definition as an input

graphql-type-to-input-transformer

Installation

npm install --save graphql-type-to-input-transformer

How to use

Setup custom transformer

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

"transformers": [
	"graphql-type-to-input-transformer"
]

Use @input directive

Add the @input directive to target types:

type Model @input{
	id: ID!
	createdAt: AWSTimestamp!
}

After transformation results in:

type Model {
	id: ID!
	createdAt: AWSTimestamp!
}

input ModelInput {
	id: ID!
	createdAt: AWSTimestamp!
}

The directive will create a new input with the same name as the model but with 'Input' appended to it. It will error if you already have any type defined with that name.
