Package Exports
- npdynamodb
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (npdynamodb) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

npdynamodb

A Node.js Simple Query Builder and ORM for AWS DynamoDB.
Motivation
When I visited here for the first time, I closed this page in a moment.
Because it is too long and hard to see to understand. Especially people who are not in English-speaking world.
After that I decided to not involve with DynamoDB at Node.js Project.
But After a while, Fortunately or unfortunately I faced time to use DynamoDB with Node.js again and There was no escape way.
So I decided to develop client to handle it more easier and It doesn't take waste of time to read documentation.
Now I think this opportunity is chance to be good friend with it.
My fighting has started.
Supported Api Versions
- 2012-08-10
Installation
npm install npdynamodb
Why is the Pure AWS-SDK in Node.js NOT good?
Parameters are like Chant of the magic. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/DynamoDB.html
Usage
Npdynamodb has two faces. One is Simple Query Builder and the other is Light ORM.
We release you redundancy codes and see simple syntax.
of course, will not see callback hell !!
Use as QueryBuilder
Initialization
var npdynamodb = require('npdynamodb');
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB({
apiVersion: '2012-08-10'
});
var npd = npdynamodb.createClient(dynamodb);
Get by hash key (getItem operation)
npd().table('users')
.where("id", 1)
.first()
.then(function(data){
console.log(data)
// => {Item: {id: 1, name: 'Tonny'}, Count: 1, ScannedCount: 1}
})
.catch(function(err){
console.err(err);
});
Get rows with where (query operation)
npd().table('users')
.where('name', 'tonny') //hash key
.then(function(data){
console.log(data)
// => {Items: [{id: 1, name: 'Tonny'}], Count: 1, ScannedCount: 1}
})
.catch(function(err){
console.err(err);
});
Get rows with where, filter and descending order
npd().table('chats')
.where('room_id', 'room1') // hash key
.where('timestamp', '>', 1429454911) // range key
.filter('user_name', 'tonny') // non index key
.desc()
.then(function(data){
console.log(data);
})
.catch(function(err){
console.err(err);
});
Count
npd().table('chats')
.where('room_id', 'room1')
.count()
.then(function(data){
console.log(data.Count);
})
.catch(function(err){
console.err(err);
});
Set not required options(depends on api version)
You can set not required options with feature
method. All options are transformed from property to method, But its name(camelized) and arguments are same as pure AWS-SDK for node.js.
npd().table('users')
.where('name', 'tonny')
.feature(function(f){ // f is raw feature object.
f.consistentRead(true);
f.returnConsumedCapacity('TOTAL');
})
.then(function(data){
console.log(data);
})
.catch(function(err){
console.err(err);
});
create(Make Overwrite all of values, if key[s] have already existed.)
npd().table('users')
.create({ // Also can save collection.
id: 2,
name: 'rhodes',
company: {
name: 'Stark Industry',
tel: '123456789',
zip: '123456789',
address: 'foo-bar-123'
}
})
.then(function(data){
console.log(data);
})
.catch(function(err){
console.err(err);
});
Update
npd().table('users')
.set("company", "PUT", {
name: 'moved company',
tel: '123-456-789',
zip: '123-456-789',
address: 'foo-bar-456'
})
.set("suite_color", "ADD", 1)
.update()
.then(function(data){
console.log(data);
})
.catch(function(err){
console.err(err);
});
Update with expressions
npd().table('users')
.feature(function(f){
f.updateExpression('SET #gt = if_not_exists(#gt, :one)');
f.expressionAttributeNames({
'#gt': 'gender_type'
});
f.expressionAttributeValues({
':one': 1
});
f.returnValues('UPDATED_NEW');
})
.update()
.then(function(data){
console.log(data);
})
.catch(function(err){
console.err(err);
});
Use as ORM
Initialization
var npdynamodb = require('npdynamodb');
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB({
apiVersion: '2012-08-10'
});
var Chat = npdynamodb.define('chats', {
dynamodb: dynamodb,
hashKey: 'id',
rangeKey: 'timestamp'
});
Fast get with hash_key
Chat.find(1).then(function(chat){ // where('id', '=', 1)
// Get value of id key
console.log(chat.get('id'));
// Get attribute keys
console.log(chat.keys());
// Get attribute values
console.log(chat.values());
// Pick specified key and value pairs
console.log(chat.pick('chat_id', 'timestamp'));
// Transform as json string.
console.log(chat.toJson());
});
fetch with multiple conditions
Chat.where('id', 1)
// complex conditions
.query(function(qb){
qb.whereBeteen('timestamp', 1429212102, 1429212202);
})
.fetch()
.then(function(data){
// Check query result is empty?
console.log(data.isEmpty());
// => false
// Get First Item
console.log(data.first().get('id'));
// => 1
// Get Last Item
console.log(data.last().get('id'));
// => 1
// Seequence(Also supported map, find, etc....)
data.each(function(item){
console.log(item.get('id'));
});
// Pluck specific column values.
console.log(data.pluck('id'));
// Get as object.
console.log(data.toArray());
// => [{id: 1, name: 'tonny', company: {....}}]
});
Save
// As Static
Chat.save({
room_id: 'room1',
....
})
.then(function(chat){
console.log(chat.get('room_id'));
});
// As Instance
var chat = new Chat({
room_id: 'room1',
user_id: 1
});
chat.set('message', 'This is a message.');
chat.save()
.then(function(chat){
console.log(chat.get('room_id'));
});
Destroy
chat.destroy()
.then(function(data){
console.log(data);
});
Custom Methods and Properties
var Chat = npdynamodb.define('chats', {
dynamodb: dynamodb,
hashKey: 'id',
rangeKey: 'timestamp',
customProtoTypeConstant: 1,
customeProtoTypeMethod: function(){
return this.get('id') === 1;
}
},
{
customStaticConstant: 1,
customStaticMethod: function(){
return this.where('room_id', 'room1')
.query(function(qb){
qb.filter('timestamp', '>', 1429212102);
})
.fetch();
}
});
// prototype
Chat.find(1).then(function(chat){
console.log(chat.customProtoTypeConstant);
console.log(chat.customeProtoTypeMethod());
});
// static
console.log(Chat.customStaticConstant);
Chat.customStaticMethod().then(function(data){
console.log(data);
});

Migration
We support schema migration for Dynamodb.
First, initialize your project to run migration.
npd install -g npdynamodb
# cd /path/to/your/project
npd init
# created npdfile.js
npdfile.js
'use strict';
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB({
apiVersion: '2012-08-10',
accessKeyId: "AWS_KEY",
secretAccessKey: "AWS_SECRET",
region: "ap-northeast-1"
});
module.exports = {
// Specify migration file path. Default is `./migrations`
// migration: {
// migrationFilePath: './npdynamodb_migrations'
// },
development: {
dynamoClient: dynamodb,
migrations: {
ProvisionedThroughput: [10, 10],
tableName: 'npd_migrations'
}
},
staging: {
dynamoClient: dynamodb,
migrations: {
ProvisionedThroughput: [10, 10],
tableName: 'npd_migrations'
}
},
production: {
dynamoClient: dynamodb,
migrations: {
ProvisionedThroughput: [10, 10],
tableName: 'npd_migrations'
}
}
};
Generate migration file.
npd migrate:generate create_users
# => /migrations/20150406083039_create_users.js
Edit migration file
/migrations/20150406083039_create_users.js
exports.up = function(migrator){
return migrator().createTable('chats', function(t){
t.string('room_id').hashKey();
t.number('timestamp').rangeKey();
t.provisionedThroughput(100, 100); // read, write
t.globalSecandayIndex('indexName1', function(t){
t.string('user_id').hashKey();
t.provisionedThroughput(100, 100); // read, write
t.ProjectionTypeAll(); //default is NONE
});
t.localSecandaryIndex('indexName2', function(t){
t.string('room_id').hashKey();
t.number('user_id').rangeKey();
t.ProjectionTypeAll(); //default is NONE
});
});
};
exports.down = function(migrator){
return migrator().deleteTable('chats');
};
Run latest migration.
npd migrate:run
Rollback latest migration.
npd migrate:rollback
Command Line Interfaces (required global install and type npd
)
init
Create a fresh npdfile.migrate:generate <name>
Create a named migration file.migrate:run
Run all migrations that have not yet been run.migrate:rollback
Rollback the last set of migrations performed.listTables
List existing tables.dump <tablename>
Dump amount of records in specified table to stdout.-h
