AWS AppSync JavaScript SDK
This SDK can be used with the Apollo JavaScript client found here. Please log questions for this client SDK in this repo and questions for the AppSync service in the official AWS AppSync forum.
package | version |
---|---|
aws-appsync | |
aws-appsync-react |
npm install --save aws-appsync
yarn add aws-appsync
For version <= 2.x.x, the selection set for the subscription will be the mutation selection set. For version >= 3.x.x, the subscription selection set will be the intersection between mutation and subscription selection sets. More info here
When using this library with React Native, you need to ensure you are using the correct version of the library based on your version of React Native. Take a look at the table below to determine what version to use.
aws-appsync version |
Required React Native Version |
---|---|
2.x.x |
>= 0.60 |
1.x.x |
<= 0.59 |
If you are using React Native 0.60
and above, you also need to install @react-native-community/netinfo
and @react-native-async-storage/async-storage
:
npm install --save @react-native-community/[email protected] @react-native-async-storage/async-storage
or
yarn add @react-native-community/[email protected] @react-native-async-storage/async-storage
If you are using React Native 0.60+
for iOS, run the following command as an additional step:
npx pod-install

When using the AWS AppSync SDK offline capabilities (e.g. disableOffline: false
), you can provide configurations for the following:
- Error handling
- Custom storage engine
If a mutation is done while the app was offline, it gets persisted to the platform storage engine. When coming back online, it is sent to the GraphQL endpoint. When a response is returned by the API, the SDK will notify you of the success or error using the callback provided in the offlineConfig
param as follows:
const client = new AWSAppSyncClient({
url: appSyncConfig.graphqlEndpoint,
region: appSyncConfig.region,
auth: {
type: appSyncConfig.authenticationType,
apiKey: appSyncConfig.apiKey,
},
offlineConfig: {
callback: (err, succ) => {
if (err) {
const { mutation, variables } = err;
console.warn(`ERROR for ${mutation}`, err);
} else {
const { mutation, variables } = succ;
console.info(`SUCCESS for ${mutation}`, succ);
}
},
},
});
You can use any custom storage engine from the redux-persist supported engines list.
Configuration is done as follows: (localForage shown in the example)
import * as localForage from "localforage";
const client = new AWSAppSyncClient({
url: appSyncConfig.graphqlEndpoint,
region: appSyncConfig.region,
auth: {
type: appSyncConfig.authenticationType,
apiKey: appSyncConfig.apiKey,
},
offlineConfig: {
storage: localForage,
},
});
For detailed documentation about the offline helpers, look at the API Definition.

For versions of the Apollo client newer than 2.4.6 you can use custom links for Authorization and Subscriptions. Offline support is not available for these newer versions. The packages available are
aws-appsync-auth-link
and aws-appsync-subscription-link
. Below is a sample code snippet that shows how to use it.
import { createAuthLink } from "aws-appsync-auth-link";
import { createSubscriptionHandshakeLink } from "aws-appsync-subscription-link";
import { ApolloLink } from "apollo-link";
import { createHttpLink } from "apollo-link-http";
import ApolloClient from "apollo-client";
import { InMemoryCache } from "apollo-cache-inmemory";
import appSyncConfig from "./aws-exports";
const url = appSyncConfig.aws_appsync_graphqlEndpoint;
const region = appSyncConfig.aws_appsync_region;
const auth = {
type: appSyncConfig.aws_appsync_authenticationType,
apiKey: appSyncConfig.aws_appsync_apiKey,
};
const httpLink = createHttpLink({ uri: url });
const link = ApolloLink.from([
createAuthLink({ url, region, auth }),
createSubscriptionHandshakeLink(url, httpLink),
]);
const client = new ApolloClient({
link,
cache: new InMemoryCache(),
});
For version 3+, the createSubscriptionHandshakeLink
can also be configured the same as createAuthLink
. This will have the same behavior as mentioned here for version 3+ Please see the example below:
// Previous code snippets above work the same.
// ...
const link = ApolloLink.from([
createAuthLink({ url, region, auth }),
createSubscriptionHandshakeLink({ url, region, auth }),
]);
// ...
