The awsDemo sample has been out of date.

So I followed the guide of https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/tree/master/packages/amazon-cognito-identity-js and try to integrate it into my Kony native App, but get stopped by error 'fetch is undefined'.

And also I failed with trying to use npm & webpack to pack a Kony require module to solve the dependency issue. Could you let me know, is the Kony development possible to cooperate with npm & webpack?

@Rexeccv Wilson​ Can you help here?

@Gvxwielle Young​ Kony Native Frameworks support requirejs way of loading js modules.

I see AWS Cognito SDK has requirejs definitions.

Try the following steps and see if it works for you:

  • Download AWS Cognito SDK using npm: npm install amazon-cognito-identity-js
  • SDK is located in dist folder: node_modules/amazon-cognito-identity-js/dist/amazon-cognito-identity.js
  • Copy this file and add it to `modules/require' folder in Visualizer project
  • Consume it in you app logic using requirejs(['./amazon-cognito-identity'], function(AmazonCognitoIdentity) { //your logic })

"amazon-cognito-identity-js" requires a polyfill of Fetch API on a target other of "Web", like "Node".

I have tried "node-fetch" but seems not work in Kony.

Do you have any idea?

@Gvxwielle Young​ Kony apps run on phone's JS engine and its not exactly a node environment. On Android js run on V8 engine but it doesn't have a node environment.

@Cvwol Duncvn​ Please provide info on any adapters available for latest AWS SDK for Kony framework.
