@dot-subscribe/observable-dynamo

A very thin wrapper around the AWS SDK v3 DynamoDB client which converts all of their commands to Observables. The API to use this package is identical to that of the original client - but wrapping with rxjs's from() is done for you.

Installation

npm install @dot-subscribe/observable-dynamo

Features

The entire range of DynamoDB commands is supported.
You may create and list tables, put and scan items, etc.

Usage

If you're familiar with using the dynamo client from the AWS SDK v3, you will already know how to use this package.

Here's an example of retrieving an item from DynamoDB.

import { ObservableDynamoDB } from '@dynamo-dot-subscribe/observable-dynamo';

let client = new ObservableDynamoDB({
  region: 'ap-southeast-2',
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: 'your aws access key id',
    secretAccessKey: 'your aws secret key'
  },
});

client.getItem({
  TableName: 'table name',
  Key: {
    id: {
      S: 'some id',
    },
  },
}).subscribe(output => {
  console.log(output.Item);
});

You may also use the send method directly.

import { GetItemCommand } from '@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb';

const command = new GetItemCommand({
  TableName: 'table name',
  Key: {
    id: {
      S: 'some id',
    },
  },
});

client.send(command).subscribe(output => {
  console.log(output.Item);
});

But why did you make this?

I primarily use this package in a small Angular project of mine that edits and displays DynamoDB tables/rows.
Angular recommends the use of Observables, so it made sense to abstract away the AWS SDK's use of promises.
