My project is having public website and Content Management System(CMS).
I am using Lambda and API Gateway for the api.
The CMS currently has an api GET request to get ALL the data from the table below.
“Banner” Table
attribute:
-id: string(primary key/partition key)
-title: string
-isActive: boolean
...
-----------------------------------------------
Id isActive title
1 true title1
2 false title2
3 true title3
4 true title4
----------------------------------------------
This is My lambda function:
getBanner.js
'use strict'
const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
exports.handler = async function (event, context, callback) {
const documentClient = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();
let responseBody = "";
let statusCode = 0;
const params = {
TableName : "Banner",
};
try{
const data = await documentClient.scan(params).promise();
responseBody = JSON.stringify(data.Items);
statusCode = 200
}catch(err){
statusCode = 403
}
const response = {
statusCode: statusCode,
body: responseBody
}
return response
}
I need an api to get all banners with isActive = true.
There are 2 approaches I can think of
1.Modify the existing lambda function
I can add something like below:
…
if(event.queryStringParameters.isActive === true){
// add filter or query to get all result
}
...
But everyone is able to get all the data(including the results with isActive = false) if they do not use the queryStringParameters,
which is what I want to avoid since the data with isActive = false should not be seen by the public.
2.Create new lambda function
This is probably the best way to protect the data.
But I have a lot of API encountering the same situation(having “inActive” attribute), it means I need to create a lot of public api.
Which method should I use?
