aws-cdk-lib/aws-appsync: Missing documentation on support for environment variables in GraphQL resolvers and functions

[FelixRelli]

Describe the issue

AWS announced support for environment variables in GraphQL resolvers and functions including cdk: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/02/aws-appsync-environment-variables-graph-ql-resolvers-functions/

The documentation is missing implementation details for cdk though: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appsync/latest/devguide/environmental-variables.html

Could it be that it is not yet implemented in cdk as I could not find any property in the latest release for env variables?

The Context in @aws-appsync/utils already has env as a property though.

@hoegertn thanks for the quick reply. Guess the marketing team was a bit too fast with claiming cdk support :D
Looking forward to seeing it merged!

Thanks for opening this issue, it looks like that announcement could have been better clarified. I went ahead and linked that PR to auto-close this issue when merged.
