How to override Data Resolver functions in AmplifyGraphqlApi ?

Open harshit9715 opened this issue 10 months ago • 5 comments

Amplify CLI Version

12.11.0

Question

I am using the CDK construct for building the graphql schema.

const graphApi = new AmplifyGraphqlApi(stack, "GraphqlApi", {
    functionSlots: [...getCustomSlots],
    definition: graphQLDefinition,
    apiName: "GraphqlApi",
    translationBehavior: {},
    transformerPlugins: [],
    authorizationModes: {
      apiKeyConfig: {
        expires: Duration.days(365),
        description: "API Key for GraphQL API - " + stack.stage,
      },
      defaultAuthorizationMode: "OPENID_CONNECT",
      oidcConfig: {
        oidcIssuerUrl: process.env.CLERK_ISSUER_BASE_URL!,
        oidcProviderName: "Clerk",
        tokenExpiryFromAuth: Duration.millis(0),
        tokenExpiryFromIssue: Duration.millis(0),
      },
    },
  });

I want to know if there is a way of overriding some of the auto-generated resolvers?

This option is available through amplify cli. we just need to place the edited resolvers in the amplify/backend/api/<apiName>/resolvers folder with the same name.

const graphApi = new AmplifyGraphqlApi(stack, "GraphqlApi", {
    functionSlots: [...getCreateSlots],
    definition: graphQLDefinition,
    apiName: "GraphqlApi",
    translationBehavior: {},
    transformerPlugins: [],
    authorizationModes: {
      apiKeyConfig: {
        expires: Duration.days(365),
        description: "API Key for GraphQL API - " + stack.stage,
      },
      defaultAuthorizationMode: "OPENID_CONNECT",
      oidcConfig: {
        oidcIssuerUrl: process.env.CLERK_ISSUER_BASE_URL!,
        oidcProviderName: "Clerk",
        tokenExpiryFromAuth: Duration.millis(0),
        tokenExpiryFromIssue: Duration.millis(0),
      },
    },
  });


  const MutationUpdateQuestionDataResolverFn = new Asset(
    stack,
    "ModifiedResolvers",
    {
      path: path.join("stacks/resolvers/Mutation.updateQuestion.req.vtl"),
    }
  );
  
  graphApi.resources.cfnResources.cfnFunctionConfigurations[
    "MutationUpdateQuestionDataResolverFn"
  ].requestMappingTemplateS3Location =
    MutationUpdateQuestionDataResolverFn.s3ObjectUrl;

This is what I am using but it requires management overhead. It would be great if we can use the same slot behavior to override the data resolvers too.

Hi @harshit9715 - can you provide more context on the type of updates you'd like to override?

renebrandel avatar Apr 17 '24 13:04 renebrandel

Sure!

I am trying to implement atomic counters for certain fields.

type Question @model {
id: ID!
content: String!
upvoteCount: Int! @default("0") 
downvoteCount: Int! @default("0") 
viewCount: Int! @default("0") 
}

Now the vtl template does not support atomic counters out of the box but then I noticed the generated code is very close to what I need.

Basically, if there is a fieldName ending with Count, i am overriding its behaviour on update mutation.

Instead of using $expSet.put i am using $expAdd.put. This way I can simply add the value entered to the existing value. and I believe it would be write consistent. work with subscriptions and also return right value incase the value changes in the backend.

TLDR;

The changed lines

from this

#if( $util.isNull($entry.value) )
    #set( $discard = $expRemove.add("#$entryKeyAttributeName") )
    $util.qr($expNames.put("#$entryKeyAttributeName", "$entry.key"))
  #else
    $util.qr($expSet.put("#$entryKeyAttributeName", ":$entryKeyAttributeName"))
    $util.qr($expNames.put("#$entryKeyAttributeName", "$entry.key"))
    $util.qr($expValues.put(":$entryKeyAttributeName", $util.dynamodb.toDynamoDB($entry.value)))
  #end

To this

#if( $util.isNull($entry.value) )
    #set( $discard = $expRemove.add("#$entryKeyAttributeName") )
    $util.qr($expNames.put("#$entryKeyAttributeName", "$entry.key"))
  #else
    #if ( $entry.key.endsWith("Count"))
      #if ( $entry.value != 1 && $entry.value != -1) ## this condition makes sure that if the client sent anything other than +1 or -1, then no change on the value will occur.
        #set( $entry.value = 0 )
      #end
      $util.qr($expAdd.put("#$entryKeyAttributeName", ":$entryKeyAttributeName")) ## NOTICE THE expAdd USED ON THIS LINE.
  	#else
      $util.qr($expSet.put("#$entryKeyAttributeName", ":$entryKeyAttributeName"))
  	#end
    ## $util.qr($expSet.put("#$entryKeyAttributeName", ":$entryKeyAttributeName"))
    $util.qr($expNames.put("#$entryKeyAttributeName", "$entry.key"))
    $util.qr($expValues.put(":$entryKeyAttributeName", $util.dynamodb.toDynamoDB($entry.value)))
  #end

Here is a quick video.

const graphApi = new AmplifyGraphqlApi(stack, "GraphqlApi", {
    functionSlots: [...getCreateSlots],
    definition: graphQLDefinition,
    apiName: "GraphqlApi",
    translationBehavior: {},
    transformerPlugins: [],
    authorizationModes: {
      apiKeyConfig: {
        expires: Duration.days(365),
        description: "API Key for GraphQL API - " + stack.stage,
      },
      defaultAuthorizationMode: "OPENID_CONNECT",
      oidcConfig: {

        oidcProviderName: "Clerk",
        tokenExpiryFromAuth: Duration.millis(0),
        tokenExpiryFromIssue: Duration.millis(0),
      },
    },
  });


  const MutationUpdateQuestionDataResolverFn = new Asset(
    stack,
    "ModifiedResolvers",
    {
      path: path.join("stacks/resolvers/Mutation.updateQuestion.req.vtl"),
    }
  );
  
  graphApi.resources.cfnResources.cfnFunctionConfigurations[
    "MutationUpdateQuestionDataResolverFn"
  ].requestMappingTemplateS3Location =
    MutationUpdateQuestionDataResolverFn.s3ObjectUrl;

This is what I am using but it requires management overhead. It would be great if we can use the same slot behavior to override the data resolvers too.

And I realised that the construct can use the local template if it is available. Here is the updated code.

const resolverConfig = graphApi.resources.cfnResources.cfnFunctionConfigurations[functionName];
  if (!resolverConfig) return;
  resolverConfig.requestMappingTemplateS3Location = undefined;
  resolverConfig.requestMappingTemplate = fs.readFileSync(
    path.join("stacks/resolvers", filePath),
    "utf8"
  );

Hi @harshit9715, this is intended workflow for overriding when using the construct directly. I'll leave this open as a feature request.
