Feature requests for JS utility functions

Motivation

We do not currently support the whole of the AppSync @aws-appsync/utils package available on AWS. We would like some input on what functions are the most used by our community.

Instructions

Please add a comment to this PR indicating which functions you use when using AppSync, specifically in JavaScript resolvers from the @aws-appsync/utils package. If a comment already exists with your suggestion then please leave a 👍 on the comment, and we will use this to prioritise the functions that are most requested.

Currently implemented functions

Assuming the following import:

import { util } from '@aws-appsync/utils'

• util.autoId
• util.appendError (partial, the function exists but errors are not yet captured)
• util.time.nowFormatted
• util.transform.toDynamoDBFilterExpression
• util.transform.toDynamoDBConditionExpression
• util.dynamodb.toDynamoDB
• util.dynamodb.toString
• util.dynamodb.toStringSet
• util.dynamodb.toNumber
• util.dynamodb.toNumberSet
• util.dynamodb.toBinary
• util.dynamodb.toBinarySet
• util.dynamodb.toBoolean
• util.dynamodb.toNull
• util.dynamodb.toList
• util.dynamodb.toMap
• util.dynamodb.toMapValues
• util.dynamodb.toS3Object
• util.dynamodb.fromS3ObjectJson

Assuming the following import:

import * as rds from '@aws-appsync/utils/rds'

• rds.createMySQLStatement
• rds.createPgStatement
• rds.insert
• rds.remove
• rds.select
• rds.toJsonObject
• rds.typeHint.DECIMAL
• rds.typeHint.JSON
• rds.typeHint.TIME
• rds.typeHint.DATE
• rds.typeHint.UUID
• rds.typeHint.TIMESTAMP
• rds.update

Assuming the following import:

import * as dynamodb from '@aws-appsync/utils/dynamodb'

• dynamodb.get
• dynamodb.operations.add
• dynamodb.operations.append
• dynamodb.operations.decrement
• dynamodb.operations.increment
• dynamodb.operations.prepend
• dynamodb.operations.replace
• dynamodb.put
• dynamodb.remove
• dynamodb.scan
• dynamodb.update

No source files or tests are named. Review the listed @aws-appsync/utils, rds, and dynamodb functions, then comment with the JavaScript resolver functions you use or react to an existing matching suggestion; the requested community input is complete when the usage suggestion or reaction is posted.
