add iam auth to api gateway HTTP using terraform api gateway module

[yuvalberk]

Description

I want to add the built in iam Authorization type to an HTTP type api gateway
I tried adding different types of authorizations but couldn't find a way to just add the basic iam auth

module "api_gateway" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/apigateway-v2/aws"

  name          = "dev-http"
  description   = "My awesome HTTP API Gateway"
  protocol_type = "HTTP"

  # Routes and integrations
  integrations = {
    "POST /test" = {
      lambda_arn = "arn:aws:lambda:eu-central-1:9999999:function:sample_lambda"
      authorizer_key = "IAM"
    }
  }
  create_api_domain_name = false
  authorizers = {
    "IAM" = {
      authorizer_type  = "REQUEST"
      name             = "iam-auth"
    }
  }

  tags = {
    Name = "http-apigateway"
  }
}

this is the module code where i am trying to add the iam auth.

this code is not working and i am getting this error

│ Error: creating API Gateway v2 authorizer: BadRequestException: AuthorizerUri is a required field in an Authorizer
│
│   with module.api_gateway.aws_apigatewayv2_authorizer.this["IAM"],
│   on .terraform\modules\api_gateway\main.tf line 187, in resource "aws_apigatewayv2_authorizer" "this":
│  187: resource "aws_apigatewayv2_authorizer" "this" {

I can see that an authorization_type of "AWS_IAM" need to be added
you can see in here
if you change "NONE" to "AWS_IAM" it is working and adding the IAM authorization to the route.
the problem is i cant find where the JWT and REQUEST authorizer_type are define so i can add the AWS_IAM authorizer_type.

this is the error i get when trying to specify AWS_IAM authorizer_type:

│ Error: expected authorizer_type to be one of [REQUEST JWT], got AWS_IAM
│
│   with module.api_gateway.aws_apigatewayv2_authorizer.this["IAM"],
│   on .terraform\modules\api_gateway\main.tf line 192, in resource "aws_apigatewayv2_authorizer" "this":
│  192:   authorizer_type                   = try(each.value.authorizer_type, null)

finally i found out that i should have been mentioning the authorization_type = "AWS_IAM" inside the route block.
I think this is worth mentioning in the documentation so other people wont get confused.
this is the piece of code that finally worked:

  integrations = {
    "POST /test" = {
      lambda_arn = "arn:aws:lambda:eu-central-1:11111111:function:Lambda"
      authorization_type = "AWS_IAM"
    }
  }
