Dynamo Record

This package aims to provide an “humanize" and more readable support of DynamoDB DocumentClient.

Getting started

Installation

$ npm install dynamo-record --save

OR

$ yarn add dynamo-record

Import & initialization

// assumes AWS.config is set up already
import { DynamoRecord } from "dynamo-record";

const repo = new DynamoRecord(
    tableName,
    tableRegion
);

Key concept

The library generates the DynamoDB config for you.

In some cases where a method will not allow you to accomplish what you would like, each method has an optional params config where you can override each DocumentClient basic params. API documentation specify which basic method from DocumentClient is extended.

In Dynamo Record, all params for config are camelize (fooBar) key insteaf of pascalize (FooBar).
