Is it possible to define a

ApiGatewayV1ApiRouteProps

instance without a Function, but just an API Gateway Mock Integration? Or will I get errors from SST?

Hey @kierans777, that’s not yet supported by the

ApiGatewayV1Api

, but you can do it in CDK with something like this:

const api = new sst.ApiGatewayV1Api(...);

api.restApi.root.addResource('pets').addMethod('GET', new MockIntegration({
  integrationResponses: [{
    statusCode: '200',
  }],
  passthroughBehavior: PassthroughBehavior.NEVER,
  requestTemplates: {
    'application/json': '{ "statusCode": 200 }',
  },
}), {
  methodResponses: [{ statusCode: '200' }],
});

Thanks @Frank, that does make sense. Is there a plan to make the

Api

constructs more rich? For example 1. IMO if you don't have a verb for a route the API should return an HTTP 405 "Method Not Allowed" which can be achieved with a Mock Integration 2. If I want my endpoint to use a Custom Authoriser and then put the request payload onto a SQS queue, then I have to use the integration approach above where it would be great to make use of the routing DSL SST has ie:

new ApiGatewayV1Api(this, "Api", {
  routes: {
    "GET    /notes": "src/list.main",
    "POST   /notes": new AwsIntegration(...),
  },
});

I'm happy to open GitHub issues if there's a place for such ideas. (One thing that annoyed me about the Serverless platform is it's focus on Lambda's to the detriment of everything else, and good API design)

Hey @kierans777, yeah we definitely want to make the construct more feature rich. We have mostly been receiving requests for the

Api

construct (ie.

Api

support ALB and HTTP proxy integrations). And we more open issues for adding SQS and StepFunctions integrations.

Thanks @Frank. Until such time as AWS brings features like Usage Plans, API Keys, Mock Integrations, etc to HTTP Apis I think it's important not to neglect people who need to use those features, and who want to use SST.

Yeah for sure 🙌 While one can still configure Usage Plans, API Keys, etc the CDK way inside SST, we do want to bake into the SST construct and make it easier to configure them.
