Amazon DynamoDB DataMapper
This library provides a DataMapper
class that allows easy interoperability
between your application's domain classes and their persisted form in Amazon
DynamoDB. Powered by the @awslabs-community-fork/dynamodb-data-marshaller
and
@awslabs-community-fork/dynamodb-expressions
packages, using DataMapper
lets you define each
object's persisted representation once and then load, save, scan, and query your
tables using the vocabulary of your application domain rather than its
representation in DynamoDB.
Getting started
To use the DataMapper
with a given JavaScript class, you will need to add a
couple properties to the prototype of the class you would like to map to a
DynamoDB table. Specifically, you will need to provide a schema and the name of
the table:
import {DynamoDbSchema, DynamoDbTable} from '@awslabs-community-fork/dynamodb-data-mapper';
class MyDomainModel {
// declare methods and properties as normal
}
Object.defineProperties(MyDomainModel.prototype, {
[DynamoDbTable]: {
value: 'MyTable'
},
[DynamoDbSchema]: {
value: {
id: {
type: 'String',
keyType: 'HASH'
},
foo: {type: 'String'},
bar: {
type: 'Set',
memberType: 'String',
},
baz: {
type: 'Tuple',
members: [
{type: 'Boolean'},
{type: 'String'},
],
},
},
},
});
The schema and table name may be declared as property accessors directly on the class if the value should be determined dynamically:
import {DynamoDbTable} from '@awslabs-community-fork/dynamodb-data-mapper';
class MyOtherDomainClass {
id: number;
get [DynamoDbTable]() {
return this.id % 2 === 0 ? 'evens' : 'odds';
}
}
Next, create an instance of DataMapper
and use the MyDomainClass
constructor
defined above to save and load objects from DynamoDB:
import {
DataMapper,
DynamoDbSchema,
DynamoDbTable,
} from '@awslabs-community-fork/dynamodb-data-mapper';
import DynamoDB = require('aws-sdk/clients/dynamodb');
const client = new DynamoDB({region: 'us-west-2'});
const mapper = new DataMapper({client});
class MyDomainModel {
id: string;
foo?: string;
bar?: Set<string>;
baz?: [boolean, string];
}
Object.defineProperties(MyDomainModel.prototype, {
[DynamoDbTable]: {
value: 'MyTable'
},
[DynamoDbSchema]: {
value: {
id: {
type: 'String',
keyType: 'HASH'
},
foo: {type: 'String'},
bar: {
type: 'Set',
memberType: 'String',
},
baz: {
type: 'Tuple',
members: [
{type: 'Boolean'},
{type: 'String'},
],
},
},
},
});
// delete an object
const toDelete = new MyDomainModel();
toDelete.id = 'DELETE_ME';
mapper.delete(toDelete);
// if that's too verbose, you can write the above as a single expression with
// Object.assign:
mapper.delete(Object.assign(new MyDomainModel(), {id: 'DELETE_ME'}));
// fetch an object
const toGet = new MyDomainModel();
toGet.id = 'ID_TO_FETCH';
const fetched = await mapper.get(toGet);
// this should return a rejected promise, as it's fetching an object that does
// not exist
mapper.get(toDelete)
.catch(err => console.log('I expected this to happen'));
// put something new into the database
const toPut = new MyDomainModel();
toPut.id = 'NEW_RECORD';
toPut.foo = 'bar';
toPut.bar = new Set<string>(['fizz', 'buzz', 'pop']);
toPut.baz = [true, 'quux'];
mapper.put(toPut).then((persisted: MyDomainModel) => {
// now change the record a bit
const toUpdate = new MyDomainModel();
toUpdate.id = persisted.id;
toUpdate.baz = [false, 'beep'];
return mapper.update(toUpdate, {onMissing: 'skip'});
});
Supported operations
batchDelete
Deletes any number of items from one or more tables in batches of 25 or fewer items. Unprocessed deletes are retried following an exponentially increasing backoff delay that is applied on a per-table basis.
Returns an async iterable of items that have been deleted (deleted items are
yielded when the delete has been accepted by DynamoDB). The results can be
consumed with a for-await-of
loop. If you are using TypeScript, you will need
to include esnext.asynciterable
in your lib
declaration (as well as enabling
downlevelIteration
if targeting ES5 or lower). Please refer to the TypeScript
release notes
for more information.
Takes one parameter:

be an instance of a class with a table name accessible via a property
identified with the
DynamoDbTable
symbol and a schema accessible via a property identified with theDynamoDbSchema
symbol.

option to the attribute names used in DynamoDB.This parameter is only necessary if a batch contains items from multiple classes that map to the same table using different property names to represent the same DynamoDB attributes.
If not supplied, the schema associated with the first item associated with a given table will be used in its place.
batchPut
Puts any number of items to one or more tables in batches of 25 or fewer items. Unprocessed puts are retried following an exponentially increasing backoff delay that is applied on a per-table basis.
Returns an async iterable of items that have been put (put items are yielded
when the put has been accepted by DynamoDB). The results can be consumed with a
for-await-of
loop. If you are using TypeScript, you will need to include
esnext.asynciterable
in your lib
declaration (as well as enabling
downlevelIteration
if targeting ES5 or lower). Please refer to the TypeScript
release notes
for more information.
Takes one parameter:

identified with the
DynamoDbTable
symbol and a schema accessible via a property identified with theDynamoDbSchema

Returns an async iterable of tuples of the string 'put'|'delete' and the item on
which the specified write action was performed. The results can be consumed with
a for-await-of

property identified with the
DynamoDbTable
symbol and a schema accessible via a property identified with theDynamoDbSchema
symbol.

The item to be deleted. Must be an instance of a class with a table name accessible via a property identified with the
DynamoDbTable
symbol and a schema accessible via a property identified with theDynamoDbSchema

readConsistency
- Specify'strong'
to perform a strongly consistent read. Specify'eventual'
(the default) to perform an eventually consistent read.projection
- A projection expression directing DynamoDB to return a subset of the fetched item's attributes. Please refer to the documentation for the@awslabs-community-fork/dynamodb-expressions

query
Retrieves multiple values from a table or index based on the primary key attributes. Queries must target a single partition key value but may read multiple items with different range keys.
This method is implemented as an async iterator and the results can be consumed
with a for-await-of
loop. If you are using TypeScript, you will need to
include esnext.asynciterable
in your lib
declaration (as well as enabling
downlevelIteration
if targeting ES5 or lower). Please refer to the TypeScript
release notes
for more information.
Takes three parameters:
The constructor function to use for any results returned by this operation. Must have a prototype with a table name accessible via a property identified with the
DynamoDbTable
symbol and a schema accessible via a property identified with theDynamoDbSchema
symbol.The condition that specifies the key value(s) for items to be retrieved by the query operation. You may provide a hash matching key properties to the values they must equal, a hash matching keys to
ConditionExpressionPredicate
s, or a fully composedConditionExpression
. If a hash is provided, it may contain a mixture of condition expression predicates and exact value matches:import {between} from '@awslabs-community-fork/dynamodb-expressions'; const keyCondition = { partitionKey: 'foo', rangeKey: between(10, 99), };
The key condition must target a single value for the partition key.
Please refer to the documentation for the
@awslabs-community-fork/dynamodb-expressions
package for guidance on creating condition expression objects.(Optional) An object specifying any of the following options:
filter
- A condition expression that DynamoDB applies after the Query operation, but before the data is returned to you. Items that do not satisfy thefilter
criteria are not returned.You cannot define a filter expression based on a partition key or a sort key.
Please refer to the documentation for the
@awslabs-community-fork/dynamodb-expressions
package for guidance on creating condition expression objects.indexName
- The name of the index against which to execute this query. If not specified, the query will be executed against the base table.limit
- The maximum number of items to return.pageSize
- The maximum number of items to return per page of results.projection
- A projection expression directing DynamoDB to return a subset of any fetched item's attributes. Please refer to the documentation for the@awslabs-community-fork/dynamodb-expressions
package for guidance on creating projection expression objects.readConsistency
- Specify'strong'
to perform a strongly consistent read. Specify'eventual'
(the default) to perform an eventually consistent read.scanIndexForward
- Specifies the order for index traversal: If true, the traversal is performed in ascending order; if false, the traversal is performed in descending order.startKey
- The primary key of the first item that this operation will evaluate.
Query metadata
The iterator returned by query
will keep track of the number of items yielded
and the number of items scanned via its count
and scannedCount
properties:
const iterator = mapper.query(
MyClass,
{partitionKey: 'foo', rangeKey: between(0, 10)}
);
for await (const record of iterator) {
console.log(record, iterator.count, iterator.scannedCount);
}
Pagination
If you wish to perform a resumable query, you can use the .pages()
method of
the iterator returned by query
to access the underlying paginator. The
paginator differs from the iterator in that it yields arrays of unmarshalled
records and has a lastEvaluatedKey
property that may be provided to a new
call to mapper.query
to resume the query later or in a separate process:
const paginator = mapper.query(
MyClass,
{partitionKey: 'foo', rangeKey: between(0, 10)},
{
// automatically stop after 25 items or the entire result set has been
// fetched, whichever is smaller
limit: 25
}
).pages();
for await (const page of paginator) {
console.log(
paginator.count,
paginator.scannedCount,
paginator.lastEvaluatedKey
);
}
const newPaginator = mapper.query(
MyClass,
{partitionKey: 'foo', rangeKey: between(0, 10)},
{
// start this new paginator where the previous one stopped
startKey: paginator.lastEvaluatedKey
}
).pages();
scan
Retrieves all values in a table or index.
This method is implemented as an async iterator and the results can be consumed
with a for-await-of

will keep track of the number of items yielded
and the number of items scanned via its count
and scannedCount
properties:

for await (const record of iterator) {
console.log(record, iterator.count, iterator.scannedCount);
}

to access the underlying paginator. The
paginator differs from the iterator in that it yields arrays of unmarshalled
records and has a lastEvaluatedKey
property that may be provided to a new
call to mapper.scan
to resume the scan later or in a separate process:
const paginator = mapper.scan(
MyClass,
{
// automatically stop after 25 items or the entire result set has been
// fetched, whichever is smaller

}
).pages();
for await (const page of paginator) {
console.log(
paginator.count,
paginator.scannedCount,
paginator.lastEvaluatedKey
);
}
const newPaginator = mapper.scan(

Scan metadata
The iterator returned by parallelScan
will keep track of the number of items
yielded and the number of items scanned via its count
and scannedCount
properties:
const iterator = mapper.parallelScan(MyClass, 4);
for await (const record of iterator) {
console.log(record, iterator.count, iterator.scannedCount);
}
Pagination
If you wish to perform a resumable parallel scan, you can use the .pages()
method of the iterator returned by parallelScan
to access the underlying
paginator. The paginator differs from the iterator in that it yields arrays of
unmarshalled records and has a scanState
property that may be provided
to a new call to mapper.parallelScan
to resume the scan later or in a separate
process:
const paginator = mapper.parallelScan(
MyClass,
4
).pages();
for await (const page of paginator) {
console.log(
paginator.count,
paginator.scannedCount,
paginator.lastEvaluatedKey

update
Updates an item in a DynamoDB table. Will leave attributes not defined in the schema in place.
Takes two parameters:
The item with its desired property state. Must be an instance of a class with a table name accessible via a property identified with the
DynamoDbTable
symbol and a schema accessible via a property identified with theDynamoDbSchema
symbol.(Optional) An object specifying any of the following options:

(the default) to treat the absence of a value in the supplieditem
as a directive to remove the property from the record in DynamoDB. Specify'skip'
to only update the properties that are defined in the supplieditem
.skipVersionCheck
- Whether to forgo creating a condition expression based on a definedversionAttribute
in the schema.
executeUpdateExpression
Executes a custom update expression. This method will not automatically apply a version check, as the current state of the object being updated is not known.
Takes four parameters:
The expression to execute. Please refer to the documentation for the
@awslabs-community-fork/dynamodb-expressions
package for guidance on creating update expression objects.The key of the item being updated.
The constructor for the class mapped to the table against which the expression should be run. Must have a prototype with a table name accessible via a property identified with the
DynamoDbTable
symbol and a schema accessible via a property identified with theDynamoDbSchema
symbol.(Optional) An object specifying any of the following options:
