## CDK AppSync Chat

This CDK project deploys an AppSync API, Amazon DynamoDB tables, and an Amazon Cognito User Pool configured to create the infrastructure for a chat application. It is paired with a React front-end for a full-stack serverless project.

### Deploying the back end

1. Clone the repo

```sh

git clone https://github.com/full-stack-serverless/cdk-appsync-chat.git

```

2. Change into the `cdk-appsync-chat` directory

3. Install dependencies in main folder:

```sh

npm install

# or

yarn

```

3. Deploy to AWS

```sh

cdk deploy

```

Once the project has been deployed, you'll be given the resources needed to configure the client-side React application.

```sh

Outputs:

CdkAppsyncChatStack.UserPoolClientId = 4tojuqrgrctupmj28812nmgi2t

CdkAppsyncChatStack.UserPoolId = us-east-1_vS2Qv9tob

CdkAppsyncChatStack.GraphQLAPIURL = https://w6eiaujspbbcvovbqzn2w4zxhu.appsync-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/graphql

  ```

### Deploying the front end

1. Clone the client application

```sh

git clone https://github.com/full-stack-serverless/chat-app.git

```

3. Change into the client directory and install dependencies:

```sh

cd chat-app

npm install

# or

yarn

```

4. Open __src/aws-exports-example.js__ and update with the outputs from CDK.

5. Rename __aws-exports-example.js__ to __aws-exports.js__.

5. Run the app

```sh

npm start

```
