How to point amplify v2 at existing aws graphql?

Amplify CLI Version

12.12.5

Question

I want to point my amplify v2 at a SAM generated app sync graphql URL and for it to use that rather than generating it in the amplify cli black box.

How do I do that?

Hey,👋 thanks for raising this! I'm going to transfer this over to our API repository for better assistance 🙂

Hi @cookiejest, if you need to point your frontend graphql client to your own AppSync graphql endpoint, you just need to configure the Amplify client like so:

import { Amplify } from 'aws-amplify';

Amplify.configure({
  ...Amplify.getConfig(),
  API: {
    GraphQL: {
      endpoint: 'https://my-appsync-endpoint.us-east-1.aws.com',
      defaultAuthMode: 'userPool',
    },
  },
});
