Deleting rest api methods

[MrFarhan]

How did you install the Amplify CLI?

npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli

If applicable, what version of Node.js are you using?

v18.19.0

Amplify CLI Version

12.11.1

What operating system are you using?

Mac

Did you make any manual changes to the cloud resources managed by Amplify? Please describe the changes made.

Created resources for rest api from AWS console as i am unable to create resource from cli.

Describe the bug

1- Unable to create resource (I.e GET, POST methods) from the amplify cli, when i run amplify update api it only give option to update path, but i want to create resource.
2- When i create resource from the aws cli and then push my local code, it removes my resources (created from cli), along with that it also removes my authoriser...

Expected behavior

1- Should provide option to create resource from cli
2- Must not delete the resources created from console, The possible solution could be when we created anything from console and do amplify pull on code, so it must sync the changes rather delete resources created from console.

Reproduction steps

create api from cli with following commands:
amplify add api
choose the path
choose existing lambda
etc

So there is no option to add any resource i.e GET, POST methods etc

Now when you create resource from aws console and run amplify pull it does not fetch the changes done on console

Hey @MrFarhan, thank you for reaching out. The REST API currently only support creating path with Lambda proxy integration which should support all the methods request. But if you are looking to use an existing API/custom API in your project you can use the Amplify configure method to interact with the API, refer to https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/restapi/existing-resources/ providing this information.
Furthermore with Amplify Gen 2, you can create a REST API using the AWS CDK constructs to your specifications and interact with the API using Amplify Library.

My Question was specifically about creating http methods (GET, POST etc) from amplify cli, the issue is while creating the apis with cli it does not provide option for lambda proxy integration / creating http methods.

@MrFarhan this is currently not supported with Amplify CLI. This is currently being tracked on aws-amplify/amplify-category-api#316. Refer to the comment aws-amplify/amplify-category-api#316 (comment) providing this information.
