I have a serverless project: AWS + Angular on the frontend. Currently, I get the data when page is initialized and refresh the data when press "update" button. However, I want to monitor changes in the table constantly. In Firebase there is onSnapShot() method, which sends the new data when a collection is updated.
I want to make something similar with AWS. However, in official documentation, I do not see how to correctly do it.
So here are 2 questions:
- How can I connect to the WebSocket with aws-sdk? (Currently, I can connect only from the terminal with
wscat -c myurlcall. Or shall I simply send http.Post with websocket url? - is it possible to pass invoke in the callback URL? - I want to get data from DynamoDB when page initialize and then invoke it again and again (with a callback URL)
My Lambda function looks like this:
exports.handler = async (event, context) => {
let params = {
TableName: "documents"
}
let respond = await db.scan(params).promise();
return respond;
};
On the front-end I have:
ngOnInit(): void {
AWS.config.credentials = new AWS.Credentials({
accessKeyId: '//mykey', secretAccessKey: '//mysecretkey'
})
AWS.config.update({
region:'//myregion'
})
this.updateTable() // triggers post request to APi Gateway => lambda and receives a response with data.
}
