# Serverless, AWS, NestJS, GraphQL and DynamoDB starter

## Description

A starter project that makes creating a deployable AWS Serverless project extremely easy.

## Technologies

- [AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda)
- [AWS DynamoDB](https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb)
- [Serverless](https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/)
- [NestJS](https://docs.nestjs.com/)
- [NestJS GraphQL](https://docs.nestjs.com/graphql/quick-start)
- [NestJS Dynamoose](https://github.com/hardyscc/nestjs-dynamoose)

## Usage

```bash
git clone https://github.com/hardyscc/aws-nestjs-starter.git <Your_Project_Name>
cd <Your_Project_Name>

npm install
```

After that find and replace `aws-nestjs-starter` to your project name on the following files:

- package.json
- serverless.yml
- .env

## Setup AWS Credentials

1. [Sign up for an AWS account](https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/credentials#sign-up-for-an-aws-account)

2. Login to your AWS account and go to the **Identity & Access Management (IAM)** page.

3. Click on **Users** and then **Add user**. Enter a name in the first field to remind you this User is related to the Serverless Framework, like `serverless-admin`. Enable **Programmatic access** by clicking the checkbox. Click **Next** to go through to the Permissions page. Click on **Attach existing policies directly**. Search for and select **AdministratorAccess** then click **Next: Review**. Check to make sure everything looks good and click **Create user**.

4. View and copy the **API Key & Secret** to a temporary place. You'll need it in the next step.

```

## GraphQL Endpoint Test

- offline: http://localhost:3000/dev/graphql
- local: http://localhost:3000/graphql
- AWS: https://<your_aws_deployment_id>.execute-api.<your_aws_region>.amazonaws.com/dev/graphql

```graphql
mutation {
  createNotification(
    input: { targetId: "device1", userId: "user1", content: "Hello World" }
  ) {
    id
  }
}
```

```graphql
query {
  notificationByUserId(userId: "user1") {
    id
    targetId
    userId
    content
    createAt
  }
}
```

```graphql
query {
  notificationByTargetId(targetId: "device1") {
    id
    targetId
    userId
    content
    createAt
  }
}
```

```graphql
mutation {
  updateNotification(
    id: "1ca7726e-0af8-4ff1-8ef1-4eae97377162"
    input: { status: Deleted }
  ) {
    id
    targetId
    userId
    content
    createAt
  }
}
```

## RESTful Endpoint Test

> Please remove `/dev` from path if test using local nestjs mode

```sh
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:3000/dev/notification' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{ "targetId": "device1", "userId": "user1", "content": "Hello" }'
```

```sh
curl -X GET 'http://localhost:3000/dev/notification?targetId=device1'
```

```sh
curl -X GET 'http://localhost:3000/dev/notification?userId=user1'
```

```sh
curl -X PATCH 'http://localhost:3000/dev/notification/a30f7101-2434-4443-87fa-493c9d9d3358' \
