Examples

Simple type negotiation

This simple example shows how to use dynamodb-helper to get items from dynamodb and upload items to dynamodb. First we have to require aws-sdk and then configure it by config.json like

{ 
    "accessKeyId": "AKIAJVsdfDSDSsA", 
    "secretAccessKey": "Dsy3GADSASDDFDFzwIx+HJY2jqvjq", 
    "region": "us-east-1" 
}

After that, we create the object of the DocumentClient of Dynamodb and inject it into dbHelper.

 
/*  Initialize   */
var AWS = require("aws-sdk");
AWS.config.loadFromPath('./config.json');
var docClient = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient({ apiVersion: '2012-08-10' });
 
var dbHelper = require('dynamodb-helper');
var Users = new dbHelper(docClient, 'Users');
 
/*  Find Data   */
Users.find(req.user.id, function (err,data) {
  console.log(data);
  if(err){
    console.log("Error occured");            
    return new Error(err);
  }
  //Do something
 
  })
 
/*  Upload Data   */
Users.putItem(  { 
                 id: req.user.id, 
                 devs:[
                        { 
                            sn: req.body.sn, 
                            name: req.body.name 
                        }
                      ] 
                });  
 
/*  Find all Data   */
Users.list(function(err,data){
  if (err){
    console.log(err);  
  }
  console.log(data);
 
});
