util.rds documentation missing for JS resolvers

[sashee]

The VTL documentation shows a $util.rds.toJsonObject function:

The same is available for the JS resolvers (from the @aws-appsync/utils npm package https://www.npmjs.com/package/@aws-appsync/utils?activeTab=explore):

But the documentation page for it is missing:

Hey @sashee , are you available to connect? I'm interested to learn more about your experience with this relational database Data source

[sashee]

Hey @onlybakam , sure, would be glad to help!

[onlybakam]

awesome. can you DM me on twitter (@bricepelle) ?

[sashee]

I'm not using Twitter that much but it seems like it does not let me DM you. Could you send a mail to [email protected] instead?

[onlybakam]

tracking #263 here as well.

+1 on this issue. We make extensive use of AppSync -> RDS to service our frontend. We're in the process of moving from VTL to Javascript and this would be invaluable.

Hey @alextriaca, are you available to connect? would like to learn more about your use case.

+1 as well, looking into appsync and we're going to be putting data into RDS soon but the lack of docs in the JS resolver info is quite annoying.

[magus424]

or are we meant to be using Lambda stuff in between AppSync and RDS now with JS resolvers? sort of getting that impression from the docs

[monscamus]

Yep, we too are migrating from VTL. Would be nice to understand more of the undocumented quirks of utils/rds etc.

[onlybakam]

we've updated the docs for JS resolvers here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appsync/latest/devguide/resolver-reference-rds-js.html and here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appsync/latest/devguide/built-in-modules-js.html#built-in-rds-modules.

Let us know if you have any feedback.

Thanks @onlybakam , the documentation looks nice! Also great to see SQL tagged templates, it is way superior to the old API.
