This serverless plugin is a wrapper for [amplify-appsync-simulator](https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-cli/tree/master/packages/amplify-appsync-simulator) made for testing AppSync APIs built with [serverless-appsync-plugin](https://github.com/sid88in/serverless-appsync-plugin).

# Requires

- [serverless framework](https://github.com/serverless/serverless)
- [serverless-appsync-plugin](https://github.com/sid88in/serverless-appsync-plugin)
- [serverless-offline](https://github.com/dherault/serverless-offline)
- [serverless-dynamodb-local](https://github.com/99xt/serverless-dynamodb-local) (when using dynamodb resolvers only)
- [watchman](https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install.html) (if Hot-reloading is desactivated it is not required)

# Install

```bash
npm install serverless-appsync-simulator
# or
yarn add serverless-appsync-simulator
```

# Usage

This plugin relies on your serverless yml file and on the `serverless-offline` plugin.

```yml
plugins:
  - serverless-dynamodb-local # only if you need dynamodb resolvers and you don't have an external dynamodb
  - serverless-appsync-simulator
  - serverless-offline
```

**Note:** Order is important `serverless-appsync-simulator` must go **before** `serverless-offline`

To start the simulator, run the following command:

```bash
sls offline start
```

You should see in the logs something like:

```bash
...
Serverless: AppSync endpoint: http://localhost:20002/graphql
Serverless: GraphiQl: http://localhost:20002
...
```

# Configuration

Put options under `custom.appsync-simulator` in your `serverless.yml` file

Example:

```yml
custom:
  appsync-simulator:
    location: '.webpack/service' # use webpack build directory
    dynamoDb:
      endpoint: 'http://my-custom-dynamo:8000'
```

# Hot-reloading

By default, the simulator will hot-relad when changes to `*.graphql` or `*.vtl` files are detected.
Changes to `*.yml` files are not supported (yet? - this is a Serverless Framework limitation). You will need to restart the simulator each time you change yml files.

Hot-reloading relies on [watchman](https://facebook.github.io/watchman). Make sure it is [installed](https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install.html) on your system.

You can change the files being watched with the `watch` option, which is then passed to watchman as [the match expression](https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/expr/match.html).

e.g.

```
custom:
  appsync-simulator:
    watch:
      - ["match", "handlers/**/*.vtl", "wholename"] # => array is interpreted as the literal match expression
      - "*.graphql"                                 # => string like this is equivalent to `["match", "*.graphql"]`
```

Or you can opt-out by leaving an empty array or set the option to `false`

Note: Functions should not require hot-reloading, unless you are using a transpiler or a bundler (such as webpack, babel or typescript), un which case you should delegate hot-reloading to that instead.

# Resource CloudFormation functions resolution

This plugin supports _some_ resources resolution from the `Ref`, `Fn::GetAtt` and `Fn::ImportValue` functions
in your yaml file. It also supports _some_ other Cfn functions such as `Fn::Join`, `Fb::Sub`, etc.

**Note:** Under the hood, this features relies on the [cfn-resolver-lib](https://github.com/robessog/cfn-resolver-lib) package. For more info on supported cfn functions, refer to [the documentation](https://github.com/robessog/cfn-resolver-lib/blob/master/README.md)

## Basic usage

You can reference resources in your functions' environment variables (that will be accessible from your lambda functions) or datasource definitions.
The plugin will automatically resolve them for you.

```yaml
provider:
  environment:
    BUCKET_NAME:
      Ref: MyBucket # resolves to `my-bucket-name`

resources:
  Resources:
    MyDbTable:
      Type: AWS::DynamoDB::Table
      Properties:
        TableName: myTable
      ...
    MyBucket:
      Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
      Properties:
        BucketName: my-bucket-name
    ...

# in your appsync config
dataSources:
  - type: AMAZON_DYNAMODB
    name: dynamosource
    config:
      tableName:
        Ref: MyDbTable # resolves to `myTable`
```

## Override (or mock) values

Sometimes, some references **cannot** be resolved, as they come from an _Output_ from Cloudformation; or you might want to use mocked values in your local environment.

In those cases, you can define (or override) those values using the `refMap`, `getAttMap` and `importValueMap` options.

- `refMap` takes a mapping of _resource name_ to _value_ pairs
- `getAttMap` takes a mapping of _resource name_ to _attribute/values_ pairs
- `importValueMap` takes a mapping of _import name_ to _values_ pairs

Example:

```yaml
custom:
  appsync-simulator:
    refMap:
      # Override `MyDbTable` resolution from the previous example.
      MyDbTable: 'mock-myTable'
    getAttMap:
      # define ElasticSearchInstance DomainName
      ElasticSearchInstance:
        DomainEndpoint: 'localhost:9200'
    importValueMap:
      other-service-api-url: 'https://other.api.url.com/graphql'

# in your appsync config
dataSources:
  - type: AMAZON_ELASTICSEARCH
    name: elasticsource
    config:
      # endpoint resolves as 'http://localhost:9200'
      endpoint:
        Fn::Join:
          - ''
          - - https://
            - Fn::GetAtt:
                - ElasticSearchInstance
                - DomainEndpoint
```

### Key-value mock notation

In some special cases you will need to use key-value mock nottation.
Good example can be case when you need to include serverless stage value (`${self:provider.stage}`) in the import name.

_This notation can be used with all mocks - `refMap`, `getAttMap` and `importValueMap`_

```yaml
provider:
  environment:
    FINISH_ACTIVITY_FUNCTION_ARN:
      Fn::ImportValue: other-service-api-${self:provider.stage}-url

custom:
  serverless-appsync-simulator:
    importValueMap:
      - key: other-service-api-${self:provider.stage}-url
        value: 'https://other.api.url.com/graphql'
```

## Limitations

This plugin only tries to resolve the following parts of the yml tree:

- `provider.environment`
- `functions[*].environment`
- `custom.appSync`

If you have the need of resolving others, feel free to open an issue and explain your use case.

For now, the supported resources to be automatically resovled by `Ref:` are:

- DynamoDb tables
- S3 Buckets

Feel free to open a PR or an issue to extend them as well.

# External functions

When a function is not defined withing the current serverless file you can still call it by providing an invoke url which should point to a REST method. Make sure you specify "get" or "post" for the method. Default is "get", but you probably want "post".

```yaml
custom:
  appsync-simulator:
    functions:
      addUser:
        url: http://localhost:3016/2015-03-31/functions/addUser/invocations
        method: post
      addPost:
        url: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
        method: post
```

# Supported Resolver types

**From Aws Amplify:**

- NONE
- AWS_LAMBDA
- AMAZON_DYNAMODB
- PIPELINE

}
```

### Sample mutation response VTL with support for handling AWSDateTime

```
#set ( $index = -1)
#set ( $result = $util.parseJson($ctx.result) )
#set ( $meta = $result.sqlStatementResults[1].columnMetadata)
#foreach ($column in $meta)
    #set ($index = $index + 1)
    #if ( $column["typeName"] == "timestamptz" )
        #set ($time = $result["sqlStatementResults"][1]["records"][0][$index]["stringValue"] )
        #set ( $nowEpochMillis = $util.time.parseFormattedToEpochMilliSeconds("$time.substring(0,19)+0000", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZ") )
        #set ( $isoDateTime = $util.time.epochMilliSecondsToISO8601($nowEpochMillis) )
        $util.qr( $result["sqlStatementResults"][1]["records"][0][$index].put("stringValue", "$isoDateTime") )
    #end
#end
#set ( $res = $util.parseJson($util.rds.toJsonString($util.toJson($result)))[1][0] )
#set ( $response = {} )
#foreach($mapKey in $res.keySet())
    #set ( $s = $mapKey.split("_") )
    #set ( $camelCase="" )
    #set ( $isFirst=true )
    #foreach($entry in $s)
        #if ( $isFirst )
          #set ( $first = $entry.substring(0,1) )
        #else
          #set ( $first = $entry.substring(0,1).toUpperCase() )
        #end
        #set ( $isFirst=false )
        #set ( $stringLength = $entry.length() )
        #set ( $remaining = $entry.substring(1, $stringLength) )
        #set ( $camelCase = "$camelCase$first$remaining" )
    #end
    $util.qr( $response.put("$camelCase", $res[$mapKey]) )
#end
$utils.toJson($response)
```

### Using Variable Map

Variable map support is limited and does not differentiate numbers and strings data types, please inject them directly if needed.

Will be escaped properly: `null`, `true`, and `false` values.

```
{
  "version": "2018-05-29",
  "statements":   [
    "UPDATE <name-of-table> set deleted_at=NOW() WHERE id=:ID",
    "SELECT * FROM <name-of-table> WHERE id=:ID and unix_timestamp > $ctx.args.newerThan"
  ],
  variableMap: {
    ":ID": $ctx.args.id,
##    ":TIMESTAMP": $ctx.args.newerThan -- This will be handled as a string!!!
  }
}
```
