Description

AWS SDK for JavaScript DynamoDB Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.

<fullname>Amazon DynamoDB</fullname>

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. DynamoDB lets you offload the administrative burdens of operating and scaling a distributed database, so that you don't have to worry about hardware provisioning, setup and configuration, replication, software patching, or cluster scaling. With DynamoDB, you can create database tables that can store and retrieve any amount of data, and serve any level of request traffic. You can scale up or scale down your tables' throughput capacity without downtime or performance degradation, and use the Amazon Web Services Management Console to monitor resource utilization and performance metrics. DynamoDB automatically spreads the data and traffic for your tables over a sufficient number of servers to handle your throughput and storage requirements, while maintaining consistent and fast performance. All of your data is stored on solid state disks (SSDs) and automatically replicated across multiple Availability Zones in an Amazon Web Services Region, providing built-in high availability and data durability.

Installing

To install this package, use the CLI of your favorite package manager:

npm install @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb

Getting Started

Import

The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands. To send a request, you only need to import the DynamoDBClient and the commands you need, for example ListBackupsCommand:

// ES5 example
const { DynamoDBClient, ListBackupsCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb");

// ES6+ example
import { DynamoDBClient, ListBackupsCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb";

Usage

To send a request:

Instantiate a client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
- See docs/CLIENTS for configuration details.
- See @aws-sdk/config for additional options.
Instantiate a command with input parameters.
Call the send operation on the client, providing the command object as input.

const client = new DynamoDBClient({ region: "REGION" });

const params = { /** input parameters */ };
const command = new ListBackupsCommand(params);

Async/await

We recommend using the await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
} finally {
  // finally.
}

Promises

You can also use Promise chaining.

client
  .send(command)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  })
  .finally(() => {
    // finally.
  });

Aggregated client

The aggregated client class is exported from the same package, but without the "Client" suffix.

DynamoDB extends DynamoDBClient and additionally supports all operations, waiters, and paginators as methods. This style may be familiar to you from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.

If you are bundling the AWS SDK, we recommend using only the bare-bones client (DynamoDBClient). More details are in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript.

import { DynamoDB } from "@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb";

const client = new DynamoDB({ region: "REGION" });

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.listBackups(params);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
}

// Promises.
client
  .listBackups(params)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  });

// callbacks (not recommended).
client.listBackups(params, (err, data) => {
  // process err and data.
});

Troubleshooting

When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).

try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
  console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
  /**
   * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
   * You can access them by specifying exception names:
   * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
   *     const value = error.specialKeyInException;
   * }
   */
}
