I have an issue where I created a type called Fixtures but then I realised that it is good practise to always keep it singular with the names as the queries, mutationa and subscriptions that are generated may be plurals.
So How do I change the type name fromFixtures to Fixture
I tried using the instructions to hard reset everything using amplify push --allow-destructive-graphql-schema-updates but it keeps failing with errors saying that some resources exist and those resources are what was generated when i pushed the backend to amplify using amplify push
So I found a solution,
First I tried to manually delete the table from DynamoDb and also delete the resources that were generated but it didn't work, even told me I had a drift issue. This was driving me crazy.
But what I did next was to restore everything back as it was, ran amplify push --allow-destructive-graphql-schema-updates but this time I removed the Fixtures type from the schema file.
This generated everything without the Fixtures and even deleted the table too from Dynamodb. Afterwards, I just added the Fixture type to the list of types in the schema and ran amplify push to generate the table and resources with the right name. A little bit stressful but it does the job
