Parameters

Explanation in Terraform Registry

Provides an AppSync Function.

AWS::AppSync::FunctionConfiguration (CloudFormation)

The FunctionConfiguration in AppSync can be configured in CloudFormation with the resource name AWS::AppSync::FunctionConfiguration. The following sections describe how to use the resource and its parameters.

Example Usage from GitHub

An example could not be found in GitHub.

Parameters

Explanation in CloudFormation Registry

The AWS::AppSync::FunctionConfiguration resource defines the functions in GraphQL APIs to perform certain operations. You can use pipeline resolvers to attach functions. For more information, see Pipeline Resolvers in the AWS AppSync Developer Guide. Note When you submit an update, AWS CloudFormation updates resources based on differences between what you submit and the stack's current template. To cause this resource to be updated you must change a property value for this resource in the AWS CloudFormation template. Changing the Amazon S3 file content without changing a property value will not result in an update operation. See Update Behaviors of Stack Resources in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
