AWS Amplify is announcing the release of version 5 of the JavaScript library, which includes highly requested features for Web and React Native developers. This release also introduces a new Notifications channel, In-App Messaging, that developers can use to display contextual messages to their users based on their behavior. The Amplify JavaScript library has also received improvements to reduce the overall bundle size and installation size. 

With this release, JavaScript developers can build media and file storage experiences with more granular pagination controls. Developers can now retrieve and filter nested models with Datastore lazy loading, such as retrieving all comments on a blog post. Amplify also provides UI components to make it easier to display In-App messages for React and React Native apps. Lastly, Apps that use GraphQL or PubSub subscriptions by default automatically re-connect when the user’s internet disconnects, providing a seamless experience for end users in poor connectivity scenarios.
