To deploy the application, setup a default AWS profile using the AWS cli. You only need to do this once per environment. The IAM user for this will need admin access to your account and is also used to run integration tests locally.

Development

yarn deploy

Staging

yarn deploy -s staging

Production

yarn deploy -s production

To run unit tests

yarn unit-test

To run integration tests

yarn export-env
yarn integration-test

To run end to end tests

yarn export-env
yarn e2e-test

Install the Thunder Client for VS Code https://www.thunderclient.io

Create a collection by importing the file thunder-collection-appsync-crud-sls-backend-dev.json to Thunder client.

Setup the following environment variables in Thunder.

• APPSYNC_URL
• TOKEN

To get a valid token run yarn signup which will output JSON with an idToken which you can copy.

yarn export-env
yarn signup

{
  "id": "21bfa9a8-0382-4757-9533-649a21c0866e",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "accessToken": "...",
  "idToken": "..."
}

IAM setup

1. Setup a user appsync-crud-sls-ci-user in IAM that doesn't have any permissions. Take note of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
2. Setup a role appsync-crud-sls-ci-role in IAM that has admin permission.
3. Edit the trust relationship that only allows the appsync-crud-sls-ci-user the ability to assume the role.

Make sure the edit <YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>.
