AppSync query on Global Secondary Index - amazon-web-services

Question

I'm trying to get a record from a GSI and I'm stucked.
API Schema:
type DriverInfos {
id: String!
status: Int
lastLat: Float
lastLng: Float
idDriver: String # GSI
}
type Query {
getDriverInfosByDriver(idDriver: String): DriverInfos
}
Resolver :
{
"version" : "2017-02-28",
"operation" : "Query",
"index" : "idDriver-index",
"query" : {
## Provide a query expression. **
"expression": "#idDriver = :idDriver",
"expressionNames" : {
"#idDriver" : "idDriver"
},
"expressionValues" : {
":idDriver" : {
"S" : "${ctx.args.idDriver}"
}
}
}
}
Query :
query getDriverInfosByDriver{
getDriverInfosByDriver(idDriver: "1")
{
idDriver
status
lastLat
lastLng
}
}
Return :
{
"data": {
"getDriverInfosByDriver": {
"idDriver": null,
"status": null,
"lastLat": null,
"lastLng": null
}
}
}
GSI is well activated : Name : "idDriver-index" - PartitionKey : idDriver (String)
Try with other ids : 2, 3, ...
It seems that it comes from the resolver. I tried with different resolver but it always return an error.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

The issue is that a Query operation always returns a set of results not just one. If you want to leave your query type like this:
type Query {
getDriverInfosByDriver(idDriver: String): DriverInfos
}
then you should to change your response mapping template to this:
#if($ctx.result.items.size() > 0)
$util.toJson($ctx.result.items[0])
#else
null
#end
If instead the getDriverInfosByDriver query should return multiple info objects then you should change your schema to:
type DriverInfo {
id: String!
status: Int
lastLat: Float
lastLng: Float
idDriver: String # GSI
}
type DriverInfoConnection {
items: [DriverInfo]
nextToken:String
}
type Query {
getDriverInfosByDriver(idDriver: String): DriverInfoConnection
}
You can then leave your response mapping template as the default:
$util.toJson($ctx.result)
and then query it like so
query getDriverInfosByDriver{
getDriverInfosByDriver(idDriver: "1") {
items {
idDriver
status
lastLat
lastLng
}
}
}
