AWS Amplify + GraphQL

Authress API​

To review the Authress REST APIs, see the official API documentation at Authress API.

AppSync​

The Amplify configuration can be a bit difficult to get right out of the box. The following configuration allows for sending of the Authress generated access tokens for users to your GraphQL AppSync/Amplify endpoints.

import { LoginClient } from '@authress/login';

const loginClient = new LoginClient({
  // What is my authressApiUrl? => https://authress.io/app/#/setup?focus=domain
  authressApiUrl: 'https://auth.yourdomain.com',

  // What is my applicationId => https://authress.io/app/#/manage?focus=applications
  applicationId: 'YOUR_APPLICATION_ID'
});

const apiConfig = {
  ssr: true,
  // Your AppSync selected region
  aws_appsync_region: 'eu-wests1',

  // AWS AppSync endpoint
  aws_appsync_graphqlEndpoint: 'https://********.appsync-api.*****.amazonaws.com/graphql',

  aws_appsync_authenticationType: 'AUTHRESS',
  API: {
    graphql_headers: async () => {
      const accessToken = await loginClient.ensureToken();
    return {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
    }},
    endpoints: [
      {
        name: 'app-name',
        endpoint: 'https://********.appsync-api.*****.amazonaws.com/graphql',
      },
    ],
  },
  Analytics: {
    disabled: true,
  },
};

Amplify.configure(apiConfig);
