dynamojo

A super simple and lightweight DynamoDB client for nodejs.

If you are unfamiliar with DynamoDB, checkout Amazon Web Services: https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/

Installation

npm install --save dynamojo

Dependencies

• aws-sdk

We use dynamojo on AWS Lambda, which comes preloaded with the aws-sdk package. So this package is not listed in the dependencies of this project. You may first have to install this package. (i.e. npm install --save aws-sdk)

Credentials

We recommend you use a ~/.aws/credentials file to configure access to your DynamoDB instance. However, for convenience, there is a config method available to pass an aws config object to:

dynamojo.config({ "accessKeyId": "akid", "secretAccessKey": "secret", "region": "us-west-2" })

dynamojo.insert('collection1', db_item, function(err, inserted_item){
  if(err){ console.log(err); return; }

  console.log("Inserted: %s", inserted_item.id);

  //get the item by primary key
  dynamojo.get('collection1', {id:inserted_item.id}, function(err, response){
    if(err){ console.log(err); return; }

    console.log("Found item: %s", response);
