I'm going through the templates and I came across this notation in the simple email/pass auth:

export default async (event: FunctionEvent<EventData>) => {
  try {
    const graphcool = fromEvent(event)
  }
  //..//
}

Is this event object an onlick event? I can't seem to find a way to initiate the graphcool object without

fomEvent()

I'm using VueX so I'd rather not have to pass the event object to my actions

event is the function event for Lambda

so is that used to create the functions in graphcool.yml? I was hoping I could construct an event object myself or init the graphcool object some other way...

Not create, no. It’s the event that get’s fired off when some “event” occurs, which goes to Lambda and says, “Hey, something happened. I need you to do X for me please”

Thanks for the clarification! so if I get this right I need to pass the event object to my store and call the api by passing this object to it... (I don't know if you're familiar with vuex)

Just wanted to also mention, every time I ref AWS or Lambda, I am removing GC’s abstraction layer. Technically speaking, the events go to GC and then AWS

👍 thanks a lot for the help!

Anytime 🙂
