feat: support JSONata query language

[zirkelc]

AWS recently introduced support for JSONata expressions as an alternative to JSONPath:

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/simplifying-developer-experience-with-variables-and-jsonata-in-aws-step-functions/
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/transforming-data.html

This PR adds support for new fields to use JSONata expressions.

I also updated the typescripts types: DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#71344

@horike37 I tested this PR in my own project and it works. Please let me know what else is to do to get this merged :-)

[olivierto]

Woah thanks ! when will this new version will be live in npm ?

[zirkelc]

Hey @olivierto

not sure when @horike37 will release a new version. In the meantime, if you want to try it out you can install a preview version from this PR:

zirkelc#1

That's how I tested it and use it currently.

@zirkelc This is just partially working, right? I've just migrated a simple step function that does a ddb call and it's failing because for the permissions [getDynamoDBPermissions] it's not checking for Arguments and only for Parameters.

[olivierto]

@ebisbe yes it's not working for all resources except the nested stepFunctions.

[zirkelc]

Hey,

yes that might be true. I will into this!

[zirkelc]

Hey @ebisbe and @olivierto

I updated the compileIamRoles function to use Paramaters or Arguments for DynamoDB, depending on the QueryLanguage field (the field on the State not the top-level field). See zirkelc@1900d04

A new preview release was created, see this comment: zirkelc#1 (comment)

Since it's the same identifier, you might need to delete the dependency to force a re-install. Please give it a try and let me know if it works.

Regarding the remaining AWS service: there are quite a lot of changes required to support Arguments over Parameters for all services. I won't have time to make all these changes in the foreseeable future, but I can surely help out if I see there's an actual demand for it.

If the latest changes for DDB work, I will submit a new PR to this repo so that other people can help support more services (if needed).

Sorry @zirkelc but I'm using a fork where I added multiple other services that I needed credentials. I think I had a PR but eventually I close it because I saw it went nowhere. I think the main issue is still the maintainer which is not doing much and does not want to step down...

[olivier-Attestis]

Hello @zirkelc and @ebisbe i've made a fork and did the required changes, but I had no time to make update tests...

[zirkelc]

@olivierto you can copy the updated tests from this commit: zirkelc@1900d04#diff-ac572495ab49814342a6cce41eb2e330796c89f16e3dcbcc1d0c7b6cfbaa7122

They only update DDB tests, but I think it's a good template on adding more tests for future services
