serverless-appsync-plugin | serverless plugin for appsync | Serverless library

I am using serverless to deploy an Appsync API and a few lambda functions. This plugin https://github.com/sid88in/serverless-appsync-plugin is used to deploy Appsync. The lambda and Appsync are defined in the same serverless.yml file and they are deployed altogether.

My lambda needs to know the Appsync API endpoint which is created during sls deploy. How can I reference the Appsync endpoint as environment variable to my lambda?

my serverless.yml:

I'm unfamiliar with npm, only used it for basic serverless. Sorry if I'm being noobish.

I'm trying to get a basic serverless-appsync-plugin project up and running, but it turns up the issue in the title. My guess is the plugin cannot be detected, imported, or something along those lines, because when I comment out the plugin line in serverless.yml, serverless runs as expected, albeit still not doing what I need it to do.

This is after running npm install serverless AND npm install serverless-appsync-plugin.

Let me know if there's anything else I can add.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

so i have a doubt, about to AppsSync and SAM, and is if i can run the api graphQl in local sam? if is so, what i need to do it, but, without dynamodb?, else i would like know which is the best practices to do a test or approach, on appSync.

because the examples that i read, all it's on aws account with dynamodb and assembly, and i want to try it on sam local without dynamo and without assembly.

so i try this basic configuration at the template.yaml, that i found, on this repo enter link description here

Background

I am working on a project that is build with Serverless framework with serverless-appsync-plugin. I implemented a single endpoint(AWS Lambda) to handle all the requests generate from Appsync through graphQL. The endpoint will route the request to the corresponding function to perform the operation.

Problem

Now that I have developed around 10+ operations, I want to automate the process of unit-testing. For simplicity, I decided to run that single endpoint as a lambda locally for all the testing (against running appsync-offline).

So, I used lambda-local with mocha. However, I am not able to get a test-case to fail, based on the response I got from the lambda.

Following instructions on the repository https://github.com/sid88in/serverless-appsync-plugin I was able to set an AWS AppSyncAPI successfully, but It turns I end up with a lot of mapping-templates, eg. customer-create.vtl, as each domain object needs a request and response .vtl file to be referred on serverless.yml.

I wonder if is it possible to put more than one template in a single file?

I mean, instead of having customer-create.vtl and customer-delete.vtl paste both contents in a single file, like customer.vtl and then point to template by a property name.

Have tried this, but it didn't worked:
