dynamo-converter

Light reversible converter JavaScript value to DynamoDB attrbute for Node.js

Features

• Simply and lightly for Node.js 4.2 or later only
• Easy to understand method names
• Fast judge to convert Array to Number/String/BinarySet because of see only a first element (default mode)

How to Install

How to Use

const dc = require('dynamo-converter')

DynamoDB -> JS

Convert JS value from DynamoDB Attribute

> dc.fromAttr({ S: 'Hello' })
'Hello'

> dc.fromAttr({ N: '3.14' })
3.14

> dc.fromAttr({
    M: {
      name: { S: 'Taro' }
    }
  })
{ name: 'Taro' }

> dc.fromAttr({ NS: [ '1', '2', '3' ] })
[ 1, 2, 3 ]

> dc.fromAttr({ L: [ { N: '1' }, { N: '2' }, { N: '3' } ] })
[ 1, 2, 3 ]

Convert JS object from DynamoDB Item

For converting from DynamoDB getItem result

> dc.fromItem({ name: { S: 'Taro' }, age: { N: '15' }})
{ name: 'Taro', age: 15 }

JS -> DynamoDB

Convert JS value to DynamoDB Attribute

> dc.toAttr('Hello')
{ S: 'Hello' }

> dc.toAttr(3.14)
{ N: '3.14' }

> dc.toAttr({ name: 'Taro' })
{
  M: {
    name: { S: 'Taro' }
  }
}

> dc.toAttr([1, 2, 3])
{ NS: [ '1', '2', '3' ] }

Convert JS object to DynamoDB Item

> dc.toItem({ name: 'Taro' })
{ name: { S: 'Taro' } }

• A root does not has M key.

Converting Array mode

FAST (default)

This is checking only first element of array. so you do not use an array has both string and number, Buffer elements.

> dc.toAttr([1, 'word'], dc.ARRAY_MODE_FAST)
{ NS: [ '1', 'word' ] } // Invalid

STRICT

This is checking all elements of array. so safe

dc.toAttr([1, 'word'], dc.ARRAY_MODE_STRICT)
{ L: [ { N: '1' }, { S: 'word' } ] }

LIST

Convert list as array at all

> dc.toItem({ ids: [3, 4, 12] }, dc.ARRAY_MODE_LIST)
{ ids: {
  { L: [ { N: '3' }, { N: '4' }, { N: '12' } ] }
}
