Description

I have this project where I am reconstructing this React app into a Flutter one for hardware performance: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/how-to-build-a-fintech-app-on-aws-using-the-plaid-api/

which was made in 2022 that uses Gen1 stuff.

I need help taking the API and Lambda functions made by that project and adept them to my Flutter code, so I basically copied the same backend files into my amplify folder and then pushed it to amplify on the CLI.

Thing is, I started building my project following the Gen2 instructions for Typescript backend manipulation, but when trying to merge the tutorial's backend into my project, it started using Gen1 standards.

so now I have an

amplify_outputs.dart

and

amplifyconfigurations.dart

In my amplifyconfigurations.dart file, I tried adding an api section and filling in the blanks with info from the already made resource I have.

Can someone please guide me on how to merge these resources or how to properly build it again for my code to call?

Hey @bebopinbebop, thank you for reaching out. Amplify Gen 1 and Gen 2 follow different architectural and tooling paradigms. I would not suggest moving your Amplify Gen 1 files into a Gen 2 application or vice versa. refer to this document providing this information: https://docs.amplify.aws/react/how-amplify-works/faq/
