Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

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.

Sending a Request Using DynamoDB

var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB();
dynamodb.batchExecuteStatement(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the DynamoDB object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB({apiVersion: '2012-08-10'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the dynamodb service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  dynamodb: '2012-08-10',
  // other service API versions
};

var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB();

Method Details

batchExecuteStatement(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

This operation allows you to perform batch reads or writes on data stored in DynamoDB, using PartiQL. Each read statement in a BatchExecuteStatement must specify an equality condition on all key attributes. This enforces that each SELECT statement in a batch returns at most a single item. For more information, see Running batch operations with PartiQL for DynamoDB .

Note: The entire batch must consist of either read statements or write statements, you cannot mix both in one batch.

A HTTP 200 response does not mean that all statements in the BatchExecuteStatement succeeded. Error details for individual statements can be found under the Error field of the BatchStatementResponse for each statement.

Service Reference:

Examples:

The BatchGetItem operation returns the attributes of one or more items from one or more tables. You identify requested items by primary key.

A single operation can retrieve up to 16 MB of data, which can contain as many as 100 items. BatchGetItem returns a partial result if the response size limit is exceeded, the table's provisioned throughput is exceeded, more than 1MB per partition is requested, or an internal processing failure occurs. If a partial result is returned, the operation returns a value for UnprocessedKeys. You can use this value to retry the operation starting with the next item to get.

If you request more than 100 items, BatchGetItem returns a ValidationException with the message "Too many items requested for the BatchGetItem call."

For example, if you ask to retrieve 100 items, but each individual item is 300 KB in size, the system returns 52 items (so as not to exceed the 16 MB limit). It also returns an appropriate UnprocessedKeys value so you can get the next page of results. If desired, your application can include its own logic to assemble the pages of results into one dataset.

If none of the items can be processed due to insufficient provisioned throughput on all of the tables in the request, then BatchGetItem returns a ProvisionedThroughputExceededException. If at least one of the items is successfully processed, then BatchGetItem completes successfully, while returning the keys of the unread items in UnprocessedKeys.

If DynamoDB returns any unprocessed items, you should retry the batch operation on those items. However, we strongly recommend that you use an exponential backoff algorithm. If you retry the batch operation immediately, the underlying read or write requests can still fail due to throttling on the individual tables. If you delay the batch operation using exponential backoff, the individual requests in the batch are much more likely to succeed.

For more information, see Batch Operations and Error Handling in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

By default, BatchGetItem performs eventually consistent reads on every table in the request. If you want strongly consistent reads instead, you can set ConsistentRead to true for any or all tables.

In order to minimize response latency, BatchGetItem may retrieve items in parallel.

When designing your application, keep in mind that DynamoDB does not return items in any particular order. To help parse the response by item, include the primary key values for the items in your request in the ProjectionExpression parameter.

If a requested item does not exist, it is not returned in the result. Requests for nonexistent items consume the minimum read capacity units according to the type of read. For more information, see Working with Tables in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • RequestItems — (map<map>)

      A map of one or more table names or table ARNs and, for each table, a map that describes one or more items to retrieve from that table. Each table name or ARN can be used only once per BatchGetItem request.

      Each element in the map of items to retrieve consists of the following:

      • ConsistentRead - If true, a strongly consistent read is used; if false (the default), an eventually consistent read is used.

      • ExpressionAttributeNames - One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in the ProjectionExpression parameter. The following are some use cases for using ExpressionAttributeNames:

        • To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.

        • To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.

        • To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.

        Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:

        • Percentile

        The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for ExpressionAttributeNames:

        • {"#P":"Percentile"}

        You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:

        • #P = :val

        Note: Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.

        For more information about expression attribute names, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      • Keys - An array of primary key attribute values that define specific items in the table. For each primary key, you must provide all of the key attributes. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide the partition key value. For a composite key, you must provide both the partition key value and the sort key value.

      • ProjectionExpression - A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the expression must be separated by commas.

        If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes are returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they do not appear in the result.

        For more information, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      • AttributesToGet - This is a legacy parameter. Use ProjectionExpression instead. For more information, see AttributesToGet in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      • Keysrequired — (Array<map<map>>)

        The primary key attribute values that define the items and the attributes associated with the items.

          "N": "123.45"

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

          An attribute of type Binary. For example:

          "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

        • SS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type String Set. For example:

          "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

        • NS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

          "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

          An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

          "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

          An attribute of type Null. For example:

          "NULL": true

        • BOOL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

          "BOOL": true

      • AttributesToGet — (Array<String>)

        This is a legacy parameter. Use ProjectionExpression instead. For more information, see Legacy Conditional Parameters in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      • ConsistentRead — (Boolean)

        The consistency of a read operation. If set to true, then a strongly consistent read is used; otherwise, an eventually consistent read is used.

      • ProjectionExpression — (String)

        A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the ProjectionExpression must be separated by commas.

        If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the result.

        For more information, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      • ExpressionAttributeNames — (map<String>)

        One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using ExpressionAttributeNames:

        • To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.

        • To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.

        • To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.

        Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:

        • Percentile

        The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for ExpressionAttributeNames:

        • {"#P":"Percentile"}

        • #P = :val

        Note: Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.

        For more information on expression attribute names, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • ReturnConsumedCapacity — (String)

      Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:

      • INDEXES - The response includes the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation, together with ConsumedCapacity for each table and secondary index that was accessed.

        Note that some operations, such as GetItem and BatchGetItem, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifying INDEXES will only return ConsumedCapacity information for table(s).

      • TOTAL - The response includes only the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation.

      • NONE - No ConsumedCapacity details are included in the response.

      Possible values include:
      • "INDEXES"
      • "TOTAL"
      • "NONE"

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • Responses — (map<Array<map<map>>>)

        A map of table name or table ARN to a list of items. Each object in Responses consists of a table name or ARN, along with a map of attribute data consisting of the data type and attribute value.

        • S — (String)

          An attribute of type String. For example:

          "S": "Hello"

          "N": "123.45"

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

The BatchWriteItem operation puts or deletes multiple items in one or more tables. A single call to BatchWriteItem can transmit up to 16MB of data over the network, consisting of up to 25 item put or delete operations. While individual items can be up to 400 KB once stored, it's important to note that an item's representation might be greater than 400KB while being sent in DynamoDB's JSON format for the API call. For more details on this distinction, see Naming Rules and Data Types.

Note: BatchWriteItem cannot update items. If you perform a BatchWriteItem operation on an existing item, that item's values will be overwritten by the operation and it will appear like it was updated. To update items, we recommend you use the UpdateItem action.

The individual PutItem and DeleteItem operations specified in BatchWriteItem are atomic; however BatchWriteItem as a whole is not. If any requested operations fail because the table's provisioned throughput is exceeded or an internal processing failure occurs, the failed operations are returned in the UnprocessedItems response parameter. You can investigate and optionally resend the requests. Typically, you would call BatchWriteItem in a loop. Each iteration would check for unprocessed items and submit a new BatchWriteItem request with those unprocessed items until all items have been processed.

For tables and indexes with provisioned capacity, if none of the items can be processed due to insufficient provisioned throughput on all of the tables in the request, then BatchWriteItem returns a ProvisionedThroughputExceededException. For all tables and indexes, if none of the items can be processed due to other throttling scenarios (such as exceeding partition level limits), then BatchWriteItem returns a ThrottlingException.

If DynamoDB returns any unprocessed items, you should retry the batch operation on those items. However, we strongly recommend that you use an exponential backoff algorithm. If you retry the batch operation immediately, the underlying read or write requests can still fail due to throttling on the individual tables. If you delay the batch operation using exponential backoff, the individual requests in the batch are much more likely to succeed.

For more information, see Batch Operations and Error Handling in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

With BatchWriteItem, you can efficiently write or delete large amounts of data, such as from Amazon EMR, or copy data from another database into DynamoDB. In order to improve performance with these large-scale operations, BatchWriteItem does not behave in the same way as individual PutItem and DeleteItem calls would. For example, you cannot specify conditions on individual put and delete requests, and BatchWriteItem does not return deleted items in the response.

If you use a programming language that supports concurrency, you can use threads to write items in parallel. Your application must include the necessary logic to manage the threads. With languages that don't support threading, you must update or delete the specified items one at a time. In both situations, BatchWriteItem performs the specified put and delete operations in parallel, giving you the power of the thread pool approach without having to introduce complexity into your application.

Parallel processing reduces latency, but each specified put and delete request consumes the same number of write capacity units whether it is processed in parallel or not. Delete operations on nonexistent items consume one write capacity unit.

If one or more of the following is true, DynamoDB rejects the entire batch write operation:

  • One or more tables specified in the BatchWriteItem request does not exist.

  • Primary key attributes specified on an item in the request do not match those in the corresponding table's primary key schema.

  • You try to perform multiple operations on the same item in the same BatchWriteItem request. For example, you cannot put and delete the same item in the same BatchWriteItem request.

  • Your request contains at least two items with identical hash and range keys (which essentially is two put operations).

  • There are more than 25 requests in the batch.

  • Any individual item in a batch exceeds 400 KB.

  • The total request size exceeds 16 MB.

  • Any individual items with keys exceeding the key length limits. For a partition key, the limit is 2048 bytes and for a sort key, the limit is 1024 bytes.

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • RequestItems — (map<Array<map>>)

      A map of one or more table names or table ARNs and, for each table, a list of operations to be performed (DeleteRequest or PutRequest). Each element in the map consists of the following:

      • DeleteRequest - Perform a DeleteItem operation on the specified item. The item to be deleted is identified by a Key subelement:

        • Key - A map of primary key attribute values that uniquely identify the item. Each entry in this map consists of an attribute name and an attribute value. For each primary key, you must provide all of the key attributes. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide a value for the partition key. For a composite primary key, you must provide values for both the partition key and the sort key.

      • PutRequest - Perform a PutItem operation on the specified item. The item to be put is identified by an Item subelement:

        • Item - A map of attributes and their values. Each entry in this map consists of an attribute name and an attribute value. Attribute values must not be null; string and binary type attributes must have lengths greater than zero; and set type attributes must not be empty. Requests that contain empty values are rejected with a ValidationException exception.

          If you specify any attributes that are part of an index key, then the data types for those attributes must match those of the schema in the table's attribute definition.

      • PutRequest — (map)

        A request to perform a PutItem operation.

        • Itemrequired — (map<map>)

          A map of attribute name to attribute values, representing the primary key of an item to be processed by PutItem. All of the table's primary key attributes must be specified, and their data types must match those of the table's key schema. If any attributes are present in the item that are part of an index key schema for the table, their types must match the index key schema.

          • S — (String)

    • ReturnConsumedCapacity — (String)

      Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:

      • INDEXES - The response includes the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation, together with ConsumedCapacity for each table and secondary index that was accessed.

        Note that some operations, such as GetItem and BatchGetItem, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifying INDEXES will only return ConsumedCapacity information for table(s).

      • TOTAL - The response includes only the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation.

      • NONE - No ConsumedCapacity details are included in the response.

      Possible values include:
      • "INDEXES"
      • "TOTAL"
      • "NONE"
    • ReturnItemCollectionMetrics — (String)

      Determines whether item collection metrics are returned. If set to SIZE, the response includes statistics about item collections, if any, that were modified during the operation are returned in the response. If set to NONE (the default), no statistics are returned.

      Possible values include:
      • "SIZE"
      • "NONE"

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • UnprocessedItems — (map<Array<map>>)

        A map of tables and requests against those tables that were not processed. The UnprocessedItems value is in the same form as RequestItems, so you can provide this value directly to a subsequent BatchWriteItem operation. For more information, see RequestItems in the Request Parameters section.

        Each UnprocessedItems entry consists of a table name or table ARN and, for that table, a list of operations to perform (DeleteRequest or PutRequest).

        • DeleteRequest - Perform a DeleteItem operation on the specified item. The item to be deleted is identified by a Key subelement:

          • Key - A map of primary key attribute values that uniquely identify the item. Each entry in this map consists of an attribute name and an attribute value.

        • PutRequest - Perform a PutItem operation on the specified item. The item to be put is identified by an Item subelement:

          • Item - A map of attributes and their values. Each entry in this map consists of an attribute name and an attribute value. Attribute values must not be null; string and binary type attributes must have lengths greater than zero; and set type attributes must not be empty. Requests that contain empty values will be rejected with a ValidationException exception.

            If you specify any attributes that are part of an index key, then the data types for those attributes must match those of the schema in the table's attribute definition.

        If there are no unprocessed items remaining, the response contains an empty UnprocessedItems map.

        • PutRequest — (map)

          A request to perform a PutItem operation.

          • Itemrequired — (map<map>)

              "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

            • NULL — (Boolean)

              An attribute of type Null. For example:

              "NULL": true

            • BOOL — (Boolean)

              An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

              "BOOL": true

      • ItemCollectionMetrics — (map<Array<map>>)

        A list of tables that were processed by BatchWriteItem and, for each table, information about any item collections that were affected by individual DeleteItem or PutItem operations.

        Each entry consists of the following subelements:

        • ItemCollectionKey - The partition key value of the item collection. This is the same as the partition key value of the item.

        • SizeEstimateRangeGB - An estimate of item collection size, expressed in GB. This is a two-element array containing a lower bound and an upper bound for the estimate. The estimate includes the size of all the items in the table, plus the size of all attributes projected into all of the local secondary indexes on the table. Use this estimate to measure whether a local secondary index is approaching its size limit.

          The estimate is subject to change over time; therefore, do not rely on the precision or accuracy of the estimate.

        • ItemCollectionKey — (map<map>)

          The partition key value of the item collection. This value is the same as the partition key value of the item.

          • S — (String)

            An attribute of type String. For example:

            "S": "Hello"

          • N — (String)

            An attribute of type Number. For example:

            "N": "123.45"

            Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

          • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

            An attribute of type Binary. For example:

            "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

          • SS — (Array<String>)

            An attribute of type String Set. For example:

            "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

          • NS — (Array<String>)

            An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

            "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

            Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

          • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

            An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

            "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

          • M — (map<map>)

          • L — (Array<map>)

            An attribute of type List. For example:

            "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

          • NULL — (Boolean)

            An attribute of type Null. For example:

            "NULL": true

          • BOOL — (Boolean)

            An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

            "BOOL": true

        • SizeEstimateRangeGB — (Array<Float>)

          An estimate of item collection size, in gigabytes. This value is a two-element array containing a lower bound and an upper bound for the estimate. The estimate includes the size of all the items in the table, plus the size of all attributes projected into all of the local secondary indexes on that table. Use this estimate to measure whether a local secondary index is approaching its size limit.

          The estimate is subject to change over time; therefore, do not rely on the precision or accuracy of the estimate.

      • ConsumedCapacity — (Array<map>)

        The capacity units consumed by the entire BatchWriteItem operation.

        Each element consists of:

        • CapacityUnits - The total number of capacity units consumed.

        • TableName — (String)

          The name of the table that was affected by the operation. If you had specified the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a table in the input, you'll see the table ARN in the response.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createBackup(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates a backup for an existing table.

Each time you create an on-demand backup, the entire table data is backed up. There is no limit to the number of on-demand backups that can be taken.

When you create an on-demand backup, a time marker of the request is cataloged, and the backup is created asynchronously, by applying all changes until the time of the request to the last full table snapshot. Backup requests are processed instantaneously and become available for restore within minutes.

You can call CreateBackup at a maximum rate of 50 times per second.

All backups in DynamoDB work without consuming any provisioned throughput on the table.

If you submit a backup request on 2018-12-14 at 14:25:00, the backup is guaranteed to contain all data committed to the table up to 14:24:00, and data committed after 14:26:00 will not be. The backup might contain data modifications made between 14:24:00 and 14:26:00. On-demand backup does not support causal consistency.

Along with data, the following are also included on the backups:

  • Global secondary indexes (GSIs)

  • Local secondary indexes (LSIs)

  • Streams

  • Provisioned read and write capacity

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the createBackup operation

var params = {
  BackupName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  TableName: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
dynamodb.createBackup(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • TableName — (String)

      The name of the table. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.

    • BackupName — (String)

      Specified name for the backup.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • BackupDetails — (map)

        Contains the details of the backup created for the table.

        • BackupArnrequired — (String)

          ARN associated with the backup.

        • BackupNamerequired — (String)

          Name of the requested backup.

        • BackupSizeBytes — (Integer)

          Size of the backup in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

        • BackupStatusrequired — (String)

          Backup can be in one of the following states: CREATING, ACTIVE, DELETED.

          Possible values include:
          • "CREATING"
          • "DELETED"
          • "AVAILABLE"
        • BackupTyperequired — (String)

          BackupType:

          • USER - You create and manage these using the on-demand backup feature.

          • SYSTEM - If you delete a table with point-in-time recovery enabled, a SYSTEM backup is automatically created and is retained for 35 days (at no additional cost). System backups allow you to restore the deleted table to the state it was in just before the point of deletion.

          • AWS_BACKUP - On-demand backup created by you from Backup service.

          Possible values include:
          • "USER"
          • "SYSTEM"
          • "AWS_BACKUP"
        • BackupCreationDateTimerequired — (Date)

          Time at which the backup was created. This is the request time of the backup.

        • BackupExpiryDateTime — (Date)

          Time at which the automatic on-demand backup created by DynamoDB will expire. This SYSTEM on-demand backup expires automatically 35 days after its creation.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createGlobalTable(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates a global table from an existing table. A global table creates a replication relationship between two or more DynamoDB tables with the same table name in the provided Regions.

This documentation is for version 2017.11.29 (Legacy) of global tables, which should be avoided for new global tables. Customers should use Global Tables version 2019.11.21 (Current) when possible, because it provides greater flexibility, higher efficiency, and consumes less write capacity than 2017.11.29 (Legacy).

To determine which version you're using, see Determining the global table version you are using. To update existing global tables from version 2017.11.29 (Legacy) to version 2019.11.21 (Current), see Upgrading global tables.

If you want to add a new replica table to a global table, each of the following conditions must be true:

  • The table must have the same primary key as all of the other replicas.

  • The table must have the same name as all of the other replicas.

  • The table must have DynamoDB Streams enabled, with the stream containing both the new and the old images of the item.

  • None of the replica tables in the global table can contain any data.

If global secondary indexes are specified, then the following conditions must also be met:

  • The global secondary indexes must have the same name.

  • The global secondary indexes must have the same hash key and sort key (if present).

If local secondary indexes are specified, then the following conditions must also be met:

  • The local secondary indexes must have the same name.

  • The local secondary indexes must have the same hash key and sort key (if present).

Write capacity settings should be set consistently across your replica tables and secondary indexes. DynamoDB strongly recommends enabling auto scaling to manage the write capacity settings for all of your global tables replicas and indexes.

If you prefer to manage write capacity settings manually, you should provision equal replicated write capacity units to your replica tables. You should also provision equal replicated write capacity units to matching secondary indexes across your global table.

createTable(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

The CreateTable operation adds a new table to your account. In an Amazon Web Services account, table names must be unique within each Region. That is, you can have two tables with same name if you create the tables in different Regions.

CreateTable is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving a CreateTable request, DynamoDB immediately returns a response with a TableStatus of CREATING. After the table is created, DynamoDB sets the TableStatus to ACTIVE. You can perform read and write operations only on an ACTIVE table.

You can optionally define secondary indexes on the new table, as part of the CreateTable operation. If you want to create multiple tables with secondary indexes on them, you must create the tables sequentially. Only one table with secondary indexes can be in the CREATING state at any given time.

You can use the DescribeTable action to check the table status.

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • AttributeDefinitions — (Array<map>)

      An array of attributes that describe the key schema for the table and indexes.

      • AttributeNamerequired — (String)

        A name for the attribute.

      • AttributeTyperequired — (String)

        The data type for the attribute, where:

        • S - the attribute is of type String

        • N - the attribute is of type Number

        • B - the attribute is of type Binary

        Possible values include:
        • "S"
        • "N"
        • "B"
    • TableName — (String)

      The name of the table to create. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.

    • KeySchema — (Array<map>)

      Specifies the attributes that make up the primary key for a table or an index. The attributes in KeySchema must also be defined in the AttributeDefinitions array. For more information, see Data Model in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      Each KeySchemaElement in the array is composed of:

      • AttributeName - The name of this key attribute.

      • KeyType - The role that the key attribute will assume:

        • HASH - partition key

        • RANGE - sort key

      Note: The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from the DynamoDB usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values. The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

      For a simple primary key (partition key), you must provide exactly one element with a KeyType of HASH.

      For a composite primary key (partition key and sort key), you must provide exactly two elements, in this order: The first element must have a KeyType of HASH, and the second element must have a KeyType of RANGE.

      For more information, see Working with Tables in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

          • BillingMode — (String)

            Controls how you are charged for read and write throughput and how you manage capacity. This setting can be changed later.

            • PROVISIONED - Sets the read/write capacity mode to PROVISIONED. We recommend using PROVISIONED for predictable workloads.

            • PAY_PER_REQUEST - Sets the read/write capacity mode to PAY_PER_REQUEST. We recommend using PAY_PER_REQUEST for unpredictable workloads.

            Possible values include:

        • LocalSecondaryIndexes — (Array<map>)

          Represents one or more local secondary indexes on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. Tables with one or more local secondary indexes are subject to an item collection size limit, where the amount of data within a given item collection cannot exceed 10 GB. Each element is composed of:

          • IndexName - The name of the local secondary index.

          • KeySchema - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.

          • Projection - Specifies attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected. Each attribute specification is composed of:

            • ProjectionType - One of the following:

              • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

              • INCLUDE - Only the specified table attributes are projected into the index. The list of projected attributes is in NonKeyAttributes.

              • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

            • NonKeyAttributes - A list of one or more non-key attribute names that are projected into the secondary index. The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes, summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

          • IndexSizeBytes - Represents the total size of the index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

          • ItemCount - Represents the number of items in the index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

            • RANGE - sort key

            Note: The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values. The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

          • Backfilling - If true, then the index is currently in the backfilling phase. Backfilling occurs only when a new global secondary index is added to the table. It is the process by which DynamoDB populates the new index with data from the table. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation.)

            You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation.)

            • "ACTIVE"
          • Backfilling — (Boolean)

            Indicates whether the index is currently backfilling. Backfilling is the process of reading items from the table and determining whether they can be added to the index. (Not all items will qualify: For example, a partition key cannot have any duplicate values.) If an item can be added to the index, DynamoDB will do so. After all items have been processed, the backfilling operation is complete and Backfilling is false.

            You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false.

            • REGION_DISABLED - The replica is inaccessible because the Amazon Web Services Region has been disabled.

              Note: If the Amazon Web Services Region remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.
            • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The KMS key used to encrypt the table is inaccessible.

              Note: If the KMS key remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.

deleteItem(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Deletes a single item in a table by primary key. You can perform a conditional delete operation that deletes the item if it exists, or if it has an expected attribute value.

In addition to deleting an item, you can also return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the ReturnValues parameter.

Unless you specify conditions, the DeleteItem is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same item or attribute does not result in an error response.

Conditional deletes are useful for deleting items only if specific conditions are met. If those conditions are met, DynamoDB performs the delete. Otherwise, the item is not deleted.

});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • TableName — (String)

      The name of the table from which to delete the item. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.

    • Key — (map<map>)

      A map of attribute names to AttributeValue objects, representing the primary key of the item to delete.

      For the primary key, you must provide all of the key attributes. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide a value for the partition key. For a composite primary key, you must provide values for both the partition key and the sort key.

      • S — (String)

        An attribute of type String. For example:

        "S": "Hello"

      • N — (String)

        An attribute of type Number. For example:

        "N": "123.45"

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

        An attribute of type Binary. For example:

        "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

      • SS — (Array<String>)

        An attribute of type String Set. For example:

        "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

      • NS — (Array<String>)

        An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

        "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

        An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

        "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

      • M — (map<map>)

        An attribute of type Map. For example:

        "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

      • L — (Array<map>)

        An attribute of type List. For example:

        "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

      • NULL — (Boolean)

        An attribute of type Null. For example:

        "NULL": true

      • BOOL — (Boolean)

        An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

        "BOOL": true

    • Expected — (map<map>)

      This is a legacy parameter. Use ConditionExpression instead. For more information, see Expected in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      • Value — (map)

        Represents the data for the expected attribute.

        Each attribute value is described as a name-value pair. The name is the data type, and the value is the data itself.

        For more information, see Data Types in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        • S — (String)

          An attribute of type String. For example:

          "S": "Hello"

        • N — (String)

          An attribute of type Number. For example:

          "N": "123.45"

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

          An attribute of type Binary. For example:

          "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

        • SS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type String Set. For example:

          "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

        • NS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

          "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

          An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

          "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

        • M — (map<map>)

          An attribute of type Map. For example:

          "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

        • L — (Array<map>)

          An attribute of type List. For example:

          "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

        • NULL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Null. For example:

          "NULL": true

        • BOOL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

          "BOOL": true

      • Exists — (Boolean)

        Causes DynamoDB to evaluate the value before attempting a conditional operation:

        • If Exists is true, DynamoDB will check to see if that attribute value already exists in the table. If it is found, then the operation succeeds. If it is not found, the operation fails with a ConditionCheckFailedException.

        • If Exists is false, DynamoDB assumes that the attribute value does not exist in the table. If in fact the value does not exist, then the assumption is valid and the operation succeeds. If the value is found, despite the assumption that it does not exist, the operation fails with a ConditionCheckFailedException.

        The default setting for Exists is true. If you supply a Value all by itself, DynamoDB assumes the attribute exists: You don't have to set Exists to true, because it is implied.

        DynamoDB returns a ValidationException if:

        • Exists is true but there is no Value to check. (You expect a value to exist, but don't specify what that value is.)

        • Exists is false but you also provide a Value. (You cannot expect an attribute to have a value, while also expecting it not to exist.)

      • ComparisonOperator — (String)

        A comparator for evaluating attributes in the AttributeValueList. For example, equals, greater than, less than, etc.

        The following comparison operators are available:

        EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT | NOT_NULL | NULL | CONTAINS | NOT_CONTAINS | BEGINS_WITH | IN | BETWEEN

        The following are descriptions of each comparison operator.

        • EQ : Equal. EQ is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • NE : Not equal. NE is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • LE : Less than or equal.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • LT : Less than.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • GE : Greater than or equal.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • GT : Greater than.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • NOT_NULL : The attribute exists. NOT_NULL is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          Note: This operator tests for the existence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "a" is null, and you evaluate it using NOT_NULL, the result is a Boolean true. This result is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is not relevant to the NOT_NULL comparison operator.
        • NULL : The attribute does not exist. NULL is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          Note: This operator tests for the nonexistence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "a" is null, and you evaluate it using NULL, the result is a Boolean false. This is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is not relevant to the NULL comparison operator.
        • CONTAINS : Checks for a subsequence, or value in a set.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is of type String, then the operator checks for a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is of type Binary, then the operator looks for a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it finds an exact match with any member of the set.

          CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a CONTAINS b", "a" can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.

        • NOT_CONTAINS : Checks for absence of a subsequence, or absence of a value in a set.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operator checks for the absence of a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is Binary, then the operator checks for the absence of a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it does not find an exact match with any member of the set.

          NOT_CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a NOT CONTAINS b", "a" can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.

        • BEGINS_WITH : Checks for a prefix.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type). The target attribute of the comparison must be of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type).

        • IN : Checks for matching elements in a list.

          AttributeValueList can contain one or more AttributeValue elements of type String, Number, or Binary. These attributes are compared against an existing attribute of an item. If any elements of the input are equal to the item attribute, the expression evaluates to true.

        • BETWEEN : Greater than or equal to the first value, and less than or equal to the second value.

          AttributeValueList must contain two AttributeValue elements of the same type, either String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than, or equal to, the first element and less than, or equal to, the second element. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not compare to {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}

        Possible values include:
        • "EQ"
        • "NE"
        • "IN"
        • "LE"
        • "LT"
        • "GE"
        • "GT"
        • "BETWEEN"
        • "NOT_NULL"
        • "NULL"
        • "CONTAINS"
        • "NOT_CONTAINS"
        • "BEGINS_WITH"
      • AttributeValueList — (Array<map>)

        One or more values to evaluate against the supplied attribute. The number of values in the list depends on the ComparisonOperator being used.

        For type Number, value comparisons are numeric.

        String value comparisons for greater than, equals, or less than are based on ASCII character code values. For example, a is greater than A, and a is greater than B. For a list of code values, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters.

        For Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned when it compares binary values.

        For information on specifying data types in JSON, see JSON Data Format in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        • S — (String)

          An attribute of type String. For example:

          "S": "Hello"

        • N — (String)

          An attribute of type Number. For example:

          "N": "123.45"

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

          An attribute of type Binary. For example:

          "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

        • SS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type String Set. For example:

          "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

        • NS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

          "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

          An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

          "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

        • M — (map<map>)

          An attribute of type Map. For example:

          "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

        • L — (Array<map>)

          An attribute of type List. For example:

          "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

        • NULL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Null. For example:

          "NULL": true

        • BOOL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

          "BOOL": true

    • ConditionalOperator — (String)

      This is a legacy parameter. Use ConditionExpression instead. For more information, see ConditionalOperator in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      Possible values include:
      • "AND"
      • "OR"
    • ReturnValues — (String)

      Use ReturnValues if you want to get the item attributes as they appeared before they were deleted. For DeleteItem, the valid values are:

      • NONE - If ReturnValues is not specified, or if its value is NONE, then nothing is returned. (This setting is the default for ReturnValues.)

      • ALL_OLD - The content of the old item is returned.

      There is no additional cost associated with requesting a return value aside from the small network and processing overhead of receiving a larger response. No read capacity units are consumed.

      Note: The ReturnValues parameter is used by several DynamoDB operations; however, DeleteItem does not recognize any values other than NONE or ALL_OLD.
      Possible values include:
      • "NONE"
      • "ALL_OLD"
      • "UPDATED_OLD"
      • "ALL_NEW"
      • "UPDATED_NEW"
    • ReturnConsumedCapacity — (String)

      Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:

      • INDEXES - The response includes the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation, together with ConsumedCapacity for each table and secondary index that was accessed.

        Note that some operations, such as GetItem and BatchGetItem, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifying INDEXES will only return ConsumedCapacity information for table(s).

      • TOTAL - The response includes only the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation.

      • NONE - No ConsumedCapacity details are included in the response.

      Possible values include:
      • "INDEXES"
      • "TOTAL"
      • "NONE"
    • ReturnItemCollectionMetrics — (String)

      Determines whether item collection metrics are returned. If set to SIZE, the response includes statistics about item collections, if any, that were modified during the operation are returned in the response. If set to NONE (the default), no statistics are returned.

      Possible values include:
      • "SIZE"
      • "NONE"
    • ConditionExpression — (String)

      A condition that must be satisfied in order for a conditional DeleteItem to succeed.

      An expression can contain any of the following:

      • Functions: attribute_exists | attribute_not_exists | attribute_type | contains | begins_with | size

        These function names are case-sensitive.

      • Comparison operators: = | <> | < | > | <= | >= | BETWEEN | IN

      • Logical operators: AND | OR | NOT

      For more information about condition expressions, see Condition Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • ExpressionAttributeNames — (map<String>)

      One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using ExpressionAttributeNames:

      • To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.

      • To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.

      • To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.

      Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:

      • Percentile

      The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for ExpressionAttributeNames:

      • {"#P":"Percentile"}

      You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:

      • #P = :val

      Note: Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.

      For more information on expression attribute names, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • ExpressionAttributeValues — (map<map>)

      One or more values that can be substituted in an expression.

      Use the : (colon) character in an expression to dereference an attribute value. For example, suppose that you wanted to check whether the value of the ProductStatus attribute was one of the following:

      Available | Backordered | Discontinued

      You would first need to specify ExpressionAttributeValues as follows:

      { ":avail":{"S":"Available"}, ":back":{"S":"Backordered"}, ":disc":{"S":"Discontinued"} }

      You could then use these values in an expression, such as this:

      ProductStatus IN (:avail, :back, :disc)

      For more information on expression attribute values, see Condition Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      There is no additional cost associated with requesting a return value aside from the small network and processing overhead of receiving a larger response. No read capacity units are consumed.

      Possible values include:
      • "ALL_OLD"
      • "NONE"

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

        Information about item collections, if any, that were affected by the DeleteItem operation. ItemCollectionMetrics is only returned if the ReturnItemCollectionMetrics parameter was specified. If the table does not have any local secondary indexes, this information is not returned in the response.

        Each ItemCollectionMetrics element consists of:

        • ItemCollectionKey - The partition key value of the item collection. This is the same as the partition key value of the item itself.

        • SizeEstimateRangeGB - An estimate of item collection size, in gigabytes. This value is a two-element array containing a lower bound and an upper bound for the estimate. The estimate includes the size of all the items in the table, plus the size of all attributes projected into all of the local secondary indexes on that table. Use this estimate to measure whether a local secondary index is approaching its size limit.

          The estimate is subject to change over time; therefore, do not rely on the precision or accuracy of the estimate.

        • ItemCollectionKey — (map<map>)

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

deleteResourcePolicy(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Deletes the resource-based policy attached to the resource, which can be a table or stream.

DeleteResourcePolicy is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same resource doesn't result in an error response, unless you specify an ExpectedRevisionId, which will then return a PolicyNotFoundException.

To make sure that you don't inadvertently lock yourself out of your own resources, the root principal in your Amazon Web Services account can perform DeleteResourcePolicy requests, even if your resource-based policy explicitly denies the root principal's access.

Note: DeleteResourcePolicy is an asynchronous operation. If you issue a GetResourcePolicy request immediately after running the DeleteResourcePolicy request, DynamoDB might still return the deleted policy. This is because the policy for your resource might not have been deleted yet. Wait for a few seconds, and then try the GetResourcePolicy request again.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the deleteResourcePolicy operation

var params = {
  ResourceArn: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  ExpectedRevisionId: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
dynamodb.deleteResourcePolicy(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • ResourceArn — (String)

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the DynamoDB resource from which the policy will be removed. The resources you can specify include tables and streams. If you remove the policy of a table, it will also remove the permissions for the table's indexes defined in that policy document. This is because index permissions are defined in the table's policy.

    • ExpectedRevisionId — (String)

      A string value that you can use to conditionally delete your policy. When you provide an expected revision ID, if the revision ID of the existing policy on the resource doesn't match or if there's no policy attached to the resource, the request will fail and return a PolicyNotFoundException.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • RevisionId — (String)

        A unique string that represents the revision ID of the policy. If you're comparing revision IDs, make sure to always use string comparison logic.

        This value will be empty if you make a request against a resource without a policy.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

deleteTable(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

The DeleteTable operation deletes a table and all of its items. After a DeleteTable request, the specified table is in the DELETING state until DynamoDB completes the deletion. If the table is in the ACTIVE state, you can delete it. If a table is in CREATING or UPDATING states, then DynamoDB returns a ResourceInUseException. If the specified table does not exist, DynamoDB returns a ResourceNotFoundException. If table is already in the DELETING state, no error is returned.

For global tables, this operation only applies to global tables using Version 2019.11.21 (Current version).

Note: DynamoDB might continue to accept data read and write operations, such as GetItem and PutItem, on a table in the DELETING state until the table deletion is complete. For the full list of table states, see TableStatus.

When you delete a table, any indexes on that table are also deleted.

If you have DynamoDB Streams enabled on the table, then the corresponding stream on that table goes into the DISABLED state, and the stream is automatically deleted after 24 hours.

Use the DescribeTable action to check the status of the table.

Examples:

To delete a table


/* This example deletes the Music table. */

 var params = {
  TableName: "Music"
 };
 dynamodb.deleteTable(params, function(err, data) {
   if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred

        • LocalSecondaryIndexes — (Array<map>)

          Represents one or more local secondary indexes on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. Tables with one or more local secondary indexes are subject to an item collection size limit, where the amount of data within a given item collection cannot exceed 10 GB. Each element is composed of:

          • IndexName - The name of the local secondary index.

          • KeySchema - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.

          • Projection - Specifies attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected. Each attribute specification is composed of:

            • ProjectionType - One of the following:

              • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

              • INCLUDE - Only the specified table attributes are projected into the index. The list of projected attributes is in NonKeyAttributes.

              • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

            • NonKeyAttributes - A list of one or more non-key attribute names that are projected into the secondary index. The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes, summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

          • IndexSizeBytes - Represents the total size of the index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

          • ItemCount - Represents the number of items in the index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

            • HASH - partition key

            • RANGE - sort key

            Note: The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values. The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.
            • AttributeNamerequired — (String)

              The name of a key attribute.

          • Backfilling - If true, then the index is currently in the backfilling phase. Backfilling occurs only when a new global secondary index is added to the table. It is the process by which DynamoDB populates the new index with data from the table. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation.)

            You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation.)

          • IndexName - The name of the global secondary index.

            • "ACTIVE"
          • Backfilling — (Boolean)

            Indicates whether the index is currently backfilling. Backfilling is the process of reading items from the table and determining whether they can be added to the index. (Not all items will qualify: For example, a partition key cannot have any duplicate values.) If an item can be added to the index, DynamoDB will do so. After all items have been processed, the backfilling operation is complete and Backfilling is false.

            You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false.

            • WriteCapacityUnits — (Integer)

              The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException.

          • IndexSizeBytes — (Integer)

              To specify a maximum OnDemandThroughput on your table, set the value of MaxReadRequestUnits as greater than or equal to 1. To remove the maximum OnDemandThroughput that is currently set on your table, set the value of MaxReadRequestUnits to -1.

            • MaxWriteRequestUnits — (Integer)

              Maximum number of write request units for the specified table.

              To specify a maximum OnDemandThroughput on your table, set the value of MaxWriteRequestUnits as greater than or equal to 1. To remove the maximum OnDemandThroughput that is currently set on your table, set the value of MaxWriteRequestUnits to -1.

          A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, for this stream.

          Note that LatestStreamLabel is not a unique identifier for the stream, because it is possible that a stream from another table might have the same timestamp. However, the combination of the following three elements is guaranteed to be unique:

          • Amazon Web Services customer ID

          • Table name

          • StreamLabel

            • REGION_DISABLED - The replica is inaccessible because the Amazon Web Services Region has been disabled.

              Note: If the Amazon Web Services Region remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.
            • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The KMS key used to encrypt the table is inaccessible.

              Note: If the KMS key remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.

describeLimits(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Returns the current provisioned-capacity quotas for your Amazon Web Services account in a Region, both for the Region as a whole and for any one DynamoDB table that you create there.

When you establish an Amazon Web Services account, the account has initial quotas on the maximum read capacity units and write capacity units that you can provision across all of your DynamoDB tables in a given Region. Also, there are per-table quotas that apply when you create a table there. For more information, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas page in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Although you can increase these quotas by filing a case at Amazon Web Services Support Center, obtaining the increase is not instantaneous. The DescribeLimits action lets you write code to compare the capacity you are currently using to those quotas imposed by your account so that you have enough time to apply for an increase before you hit a quota.

For example, you could use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs to do the following:

  1. Call DescribeLimits for a particular Region to obtain your current account quotas on provisioned capacity there.

  2. Create a variable to hold the aggregate read capacity units provisioned for all your tables in that Region, and one to hold the aggregate write capacity units. Zero them both.

  3. Call ListTables to obtain a list of all your DynamoDB tables.

  4. For each table name listed by ListTables, do the following:

    • Call DescribeTable with the table name.

    • Use the data returned by DescribeTable to add the read capacity units and write capacity units provisioned for the table itself to your variables.

    • If the table has one or more global secondary indexes (GSIs), loop over these GSIs and add their provisioned capacity values to your variables as well.

  5. Report the account quotas for that Region returned by DescribeLimits, along with the total current provisioned capacity levels you have calculated.

This will let you see whether you are getting close to your account-level quotas.

The per-table quotas apply only when you are creating a new table. They restrict the sum of the provisioned capacity of the new table itself and all its global secondary indexes.

For existing tables and their GSIs, DynamoDB doesn't let you increase provisioned capacity extremely rapidly, but the only quota that applies is that the aggregate provisioned capacity over all your tables and GSIs cannot exceed either of the per-account quotas.

Note: DescribeLimits should only be called periodically. You can expect throttling errors if you call it more than once in a minute.

The DescribeLimits Request element has no content.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

        The maximum write capacity units that your account allows you to provision for a new table that you are creating in this Region, including the write capacity units provisioned for its global secondary indexes (GSIs).

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

describeTable(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Returns information about the table, including the current status of the table, when it was created, the primary key schema, and any indexes on the table.

For global tables, this operation only applies to global tables using Version 2019.11.21 (Current version).

Note: If you issue a DescribeTable request immediately after a CreateTable request, DynamoDB might return a ResourceNotFoundException. This is because DescribeTable uses an eventually consistent query, and the metadata for your table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then try the DescribeTable request again.

          • ReadCapacityUnits — (Integer)

            The maximum number of strongly consistent reads consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException. Eventually consistent reads require less effort than strongly consistent reads, so a setting of 50 ReadCapacityUnits per second provides 100 eventually consistent ReadCapacityUnits per second.

          • WriteCapacityUnits — (Integer)

            • ProjectionType - One of the following:

              • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

              • INCLUDE - Only the specified table attributes are projected into the index. The list of projected attributes is in NonKeyAttributes.

              • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

            • NonKeyAttributes - A list of one or more non-key attribute names that are projected into the secondary index. The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes, summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

          • IndexSizeBytes - Represents the total size of the index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

            • RANGE - sort key

            Note: The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values. The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.
            • AttributeNamerequired — (String)

              The name of a key attribute.

            • KeyTyperequired — (String)

              The role that this key attribute will assume:

              • HASH - partition key

              • RANGE - sort key

              Note: The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute.

            • ProjectionType — (String)

              The set of attributes that are projected into the index:

              • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

              • INCLUDE - In addition to the attributes described in KEYS_ONLY, the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.

              • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

              When using the DynamoDB console, ALL is selected by default.

              Possible values include:
              • "ALL"
              • "KEYS_ONLY"
              • "INCLUDE"
            • NonKeyAttributes — (Array<String>)

              Represents the non-key attribute names which will be projected into the index.

              For local secondary indexes, the total count of NonKeyAttributes summed across all of the local secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

          • IndexSizeBytes — (Integer)

            The total size of the specified index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

          • Backfilling - If true, then the index is currently in the backfilling phase. Backfilling occurs only when a new global secondary index is added to the table. It is the process by which DynamoDB populates the new index with data from the table. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation.)

            You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation.)

          • IndexName - The name of the global secondary index.

          • IndexSizeBytes - The total size of the global secondary index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

          • IndexStatus - The current status of the global secondary index:

            • CREATING - The index is being created.

            • UPDATING - The index is being updated.

          • ItemCount - The number of items in the global secondary index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

          • KeySchema - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.

          • Projection - Specifies attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected. Each attribute specification is composed of:

            • ProjectionType - One of the following:

              • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

              • INCLUDE - In addition to the attributes described in KEYS_ONLY, the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.

              • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

            • NonKeyAttributes - A list of one or more non-key attribute names that are projected into the secondary index. The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes, summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

          • ProvisionedThroughput - The provisioned throughput settings for the global secondary index, consisting of read and write capacity units, along with data about increases and decreases.

          If the table is in the DELETING state, no information about indexes will be returned.

          • IndexName — (String)

            The name of the global secondary index.

          • KeySchema — (Array<map>)

            The complete key schema for a global secondary index, which consists of one or more pairs of attribute names and key types:

            • HASH - partition key

            • RANGE - sort key

            Note: The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values. The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.
            • AttributeNamerequired — (String)

              The name of a key attribute.

            • KeyTyperequired — (String)

              The role that this key attribute will assume:

              • HASH - partition key

              • RANGE - sort key

              Note: The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values. The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.
              Possible values include:
              • "HASH"
              • "RANGE"
          • Projection — (map)

            Represents attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the global secondary index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected.

            • ProjectionType — (String)

              The set of attributes that are projected into the index:

              • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

              • INCLUDE - In addition to the attributes described in KEYS_ONLY, the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.

              • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

              When using the DynamoDB console, ALL is selected by default.

              Possible values include:
              • "ALL"
              • "KEYS_ONLY"
              • "INCLUDE"
            • NonKeyAttributes — (Array<String>)

              Represents the non-key attribute names which will be projected into the index.

              For local secondary indexes, the total count of NonKeyAttributes summed across all of the local secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

          • IndexStatus — (String)

            The current state of the global secondary index:

            • CREATING - The index is being created.

            • UPDATING - The index is being updated.

            • DELETING - The index is being deleted.

            • ACTIVE - The index is ready for use.

            Possible values include:
            • "CREATING"
            • "UPDATING"
            • "DELETING"
            • "ACTIVE"
          • Backfilling — (Boolean)

            Indicates whether the index is currently backfilling. Backfilling is the process of reading items from the table and determining whether they can be added to the index. (Not all items will qualify: For example, a partition key cannot have any duplicate values.) If an item can be added to the index, DynamoDB will do so. After all items have been processed, the backfilling operation is complete and Backfilling is false.

            You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false.

            Note: For indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation, the Backfilling attribute does not appear in the DescribeTable output.

            Possible values include:
            • "NEW_IMAGE"
            • "OLD_IMAGE"
            • "NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES"
            • "KEYS_ONLY"
        • LatestStreamLabel — (String)

          A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, for this stream.

          Note that LatestStreamLabel is not a unique identifier for the stream, because it is possible that a stream from another table might have the same timestamp. However, the combination of the following three elements is guaranteed to be unique:

            • REGION_DISABLED - The replica is inaccessible because the Amazon Web Services Region has been disabled.

              Note: If the Amazon Web Services Region remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.
            • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The KMS key used to encrypt the table is inaccessible.

              Note: If the KMS key remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.

                The maximum capacity units that a global table or global secondary index should be scaled up to.

              • AutoScalingDisabled — (Boolean)

                Disabled auto scaling for this global table or global secondary index.

              • AutoScalingRoleArn — (String)

                Role ARN used for configuring the auto scaling policy.

executeStatement(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

This operation allows you to perform reads and singleton writes on data stored in DynamoDB, using PartiQL.

For PartiQL reads (SELECT statement), if the total number of processed items exceeds the maximum dataset size limit of 1 MB, the read stops and results are returned to the user as a LastEvaluatedKey value to continue the read in a subsequent operation. If the filter criteria in WHERE clause does not match any data, the read will return an empty result set.

A single SELECT statement response can return up to the maximum number of items (if using the Limit parameter) or a maximum of 1 MB of data (and then apply any filtering to the results using WHERE clause). If LastEvaluatedKey is present in the response, you need to paginate the result set. If NextToken is present, you need to paginate the result set and include NextToken.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the executeStatement operation

var params = {
  Statement: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  ConsistentRead: true || false,
  Limit: 'NUMBER_VALUE',
  NextToken: 'STRING_VALUE',
  Parameters: [
    { /* AttributeValue */
      B: Buffer.from('...') || 'STRING_VALUE' /* Strings will be Base-64 encoded on your behalf */,
      BOOL: true || false,
      BS: [
        Buffer.from('...') || 'STRING_VALUE' /* Strings will be Base-64 encoded on your behalf */,
        /* more items */
      ],
      L: [
        /* recursive AttributeValue */,
        /* more items */
      ],
      M: {
        '<AttributeName>': /* recursive AttributeValue */,
        /* '<AttributeName>': ... */
      },
      N: 'STRING_VALUE',
      NS: [
        'STRING_VALUE',
        /* more items */
      ],
      NULL: true || false,
      S: 'STRING_VALUE',
      SS: [
        'STRING_VALUE',
        /* more items */
      ]
    },
    /* more items */
  ],
  ReturnConsumedCapacity: INDEXES | TOTAL | NONE,
  ReturnValuesOnConditionCheckFailure: ALL_OLD | NONE
};
dynamodb.executeStatement(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • Statement — (String)

      The PartiQL statement representing the operation to run.

    • Parameters — (Array<map>)

      The parameters for the PartiQL statement, if any.

        An attribute of type String. For example:

        "S": "Hello"

      • N — (String)

        An attribute of type Number. For example:

        "N": "123.45"

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

        An attribute of type Binary. For example:

        "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

      • SS — (Array<String>)

        An attribute of type String Set. For example:

        "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

      • NS — (Array<String>)

        An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

        "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

        An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

        "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

      • M — (map<map>)

        An attribute of type Map. For example:

        "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

      • L — (Array<map>)

        An attribute of type List. For example:

        "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

      • NULL — (Boolean)

        An attribute of type Null. For example:

        "NULL": true

      • BOOL — (Boolean)

        An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

        "BOOL": true

    • ConsistentRead — (Boolean)

      The consistency of a read operation. If set to true, then a strongly consistent read is used; otherwise, an eventually consistent read is used.

    • NextToken — (String)

      Set this value to get remaining results, if NextToken was returned in the statement response.

    • ReturnConsumedCapacity — (String)

      Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:

      • INDEXES - The response includes the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation, together with ConsumedCapacity for each table and secondary index that was accessed.

        Note that some operations, such as GetItem and BatchGetItem, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifying INDEXES will only return ConsumedCapacity information for table(s).

      • TOTAL - The response includes only the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation.

      • NONE - No ConsumedCapacity details are included in the response.

      Possible values include:
      • "INDEXES"
      • "TOTAL"
      • "NONE"
    • Limit — (Integer)

      The maximum number of items to evaluate (not necessarily the number of matching items). If DynamoDB processes the number of items up to the limit while processing the results, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to that point, along with a key in LastEvaluatedKey to apply in a subsequent operation so you can pick up where you left off. Also, if the processed dataset size exceeds 1 MB before DynamoDB reaches this limit, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to the limit, and a key in LastEvaluatedKey to apply in a subsequent operation to continue the operation.

    • ReturnValuesOnConditionCheckFailure — (String)

      An optional parameter that returns the item attributes for an ExecuteStatement operation that failed a condition check.

      There is no additional cost associated with requesting a return value aside from the small network and processing overhead of receiving a larger response. No read capacity units are consumed.

      Possible values include:
      • "ALL_OLD"
      • "NONE"

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • Items — (Array<map<map>>)

        If a read operation was used, this property will contain the result of the read operation; a map of attribute names and their values. For the write operations this value will be empty.

        • S — (String)

          An attribute of type String. For example:

          "S": "Hello"

        • N — (String)

          An attribute of type Number. For example:

          "N": "123.45"

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • ConsumedCapacity — (map)

        The capacity units consumed by an operation. The data returned includes the total provisioned throughput consumed, along with statistics for the table and any indexes involved in the operation.

If LastEvaluatedKey is empty, then the "last page" of results has been processed and there is no more data to be retrieved. If LastEvaluatedKey is not empty, it does not necessarily mean that there is more data in the result set. The only way to know when you have reached the end of the result set is when LastEvaluatedKey is empty.

executeTransaction(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

This operation allows you to perform transactional reads or writes on data stored in DynamoDB, using PartiQL.

Note: The entire transaction must consist of either read statements or write statements, you cannot mix both in one transaction. The EXISTS function is an exception and can be used to check the condition of specific attributes of the item in a similar manner to ConditionCheck in the TransactWriteItems API.

var params = {
  TransactStatements: [ /* required */
    {
      Statement: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
      Parameters: [
        { /* AttributeValue */
          B: Buffer.from('...') || 'STRING_VALUE' /* Strings will be Base-64 encoded on your behalf */,
          BOOL: true || false,
          BS: [

exportTableToPointInTime(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Exports table data to an S3 bucket. The table must have point in time recovery enabled, and you can export data from any time within the point in time recovery window.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the exportTableToPointInTime operation

var params = {
  S3Bucket: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  TableArn: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  ClientToken: 'STRING_VALUE',
  ExportFormat: DYNAMODB_JSON | ION,
  ExportTime: new Date || 'Wed Dec 31 1969 16:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)' || 123456789,
  ExportType: FULL_EXPORT | INCREMENTAL_EXPORT,
  IncrementalExportSpecification: {
    ExportFromTime: new Date || 'Wed Dec 31 1969 16:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)' || 123456789,
    ExportToTime: new Date || 'Wed Dec 31 1969 16:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)' || 123456789,
    ExportViewType: NEW_IMAGE | NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES
  },
  S3BucketOwner: 'STRING_VALUE',
  S3Prefix: 'STRING_VALUE',
  S3SseAlgorithm: AES256 | KMS,

};
dynamodb.exportTableToPointInTime(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • TableArn — (String)

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) associated with the table to export.

    • ExportTime — (Date)

      Time in the past from which to export table data, counted in seconds from the start of the Unix epoch. The table export will be a snapshot of the table's state at this point in time.

    • ClientToken — (String)

      Providing a ClientToken makes the call to ExportTableToPointInTimeInput idempotent, meaning that multiple identical calls have the same effect as one single call.

      A client token is valid for 8 hours after the first request that uses it is completed. After 8 hours, any request with the same client token is treated as a new request. Do not resubmit the same request with the same client token for more than 8 hours, or the result might not be idempotent.

      If you submit a request with the same client token but a change in other parameters within the 8-hour idempotency window, DynamoDB returns an ImportConflictException.

      If a token is not provided, the SDK will use a version 4 UUID.
    • S3Bucket — (String)

      The name of the Amazon S3 bucket to export the snapshot to.

    • S3BucketOwner — (String)

      The ID of the Amazon Web Services account that owns the bucket the export will be stored in.

      • ExportToTime — (Date)

        Time in the past which provides the exclusive end range for the export table's data, counted in seconds from the start of the Unix epoch. The incremental export will reflect the table's state just prior to this point in time. If this is not provided, the latest time with data available will be used.

      • ExportViewType — (String)

        The view type that was chosen for the export. Valid values are NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES and NEW_IMAGES. The default value is NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES.

        Possible values include:

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

getItem(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

The GetItem operation returns a set of attributes for the item with the given primary key. If there is no matching item, GetItem does not return any data and there will be no Item element in the response.

GetItem provides an eventually consistent read by default. If your application requires a strongly consistent read, set ConsistentRead to true. Although a strongly consistent read might take more time than an eventually consistent read, it always returns the last updated value.

Service Reference:

Examples:

To read an item from a table


/* This example retrieves an item from the Music table. The table has a partition key and a sort key (Artist and SongTitle), so you must specify both of these attributes. */

 var params = {
  Key: {
   "Artist": {
     S: "Acme Band"
    }, 
   "SongTitle": {
     S: "Happy Day"
    }
  }, 
  TableName: "Music"
 };
 dynamodb.getItem(params, function(err, data) {
   if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
   else     console.log(data);           // successful response
   /*
   data = {
    Item: {
     "AlbumTitle": {
       S: "Songs About Life"
      }, 
     "Artist": {
       S: "Acme Band"
      }, 
     "SongTitle": {
       S: "Happy Day"
      }
    }
   }
   */
 });

Calling the getItem operation

var params = {
  Key: { /* required */
    '<AttributeName>': { /* AttributeValue */
      B: Buffer.from('...') || 'STRING_VALUE' /* Strings will be Base-64 encoded on your behalf */,
      BOOL: true || false,
      BS: [
        Buffer.from('...') || 'STRING_VALUE' /* Strings will be Base-64 encoded on your behalf */,
        /* more items */
      ],
      L: [
        /* recursive AttributeValue */,
        /* more items */
      ],
      M: {
        '<AttributeName>': /* recursive AttributeValue */,
        /* '<AttributeName>': ... */
      },
      N: 'STRING_VALUE',
      NS: [
        'STRING_VALUE',
        /* more items */
      ],
      NULL: true || false,
      S: 'STRING_VALUE',
      SS: [
        'STRING_VALUE',
        /* more items */
      ]

  ReturnConsumedCapacity: INDEXES | TOTAL | NONE
};
dynamodb.getItem(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • TableName — (String)

      The name of the table containing the requested item. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.

    • Key — (map<map>)

      A map of attribute names to AttributeValue objects, representing the primary key of the item to retrieve.

      For the primary key, you must provide all of the attributes. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide a value for the partition key. For a composite primary key, you must provide values for both the partition key and the sort key.

      • S — (String)

        An attribute of type String. For example:

        "S": "Hello"

      • N — (String)

        An attribute of type Number. For example:

        "N": "123.45"

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

        An attribute of type Binary. For example:

        "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

      • SS — (Array<String>)

        An attribute of type String Set. For example:

        "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

      • NS — (Array<String>)

        An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

        "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

        An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

        "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

      • M — (map<map>)

        An attribute of type Map. For example:

        "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

      • L — (Array<map>)

        An attribute of type List. For example:

        "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

      • NULL — (Boolean)

        An attribute of type Null. For example:

        "NULL": true

      • BOOL — (Boolean)

        An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

        "BOOL": true

    • AttributesToGet — (Array<String>)

      This is a legacy parameter. Use ProjectionExpression instead. For more information, see AttributesToGet in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • ConsistentRead — (Boolean)

      Determines the read consistency model: If set to true, then the operation uses strongly consistent reads; otherwise, the operation uses eventually consistent reads.

    • ReturnConsumedCapacity — (String)

      Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:

      • INDEXES - The response includes the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation, together with ConsumedCapacity for each table and secondary index that was accessed.

        Note that some operations, such as GetItem and BatchGetItem, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifying INDEXES will only return ConsumedCapacity information for table(s).

      • TOTAL - The response includes only the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation.

      • NONE - No ConsumedCapacity details are included in the response.

      Possible values include:
      • "INDEXES"
      • "TOTAL"
      • "NONE"
    • ProjectionExpression — (String)

      A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the expression must be separated by commas.

      If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes are returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they do not appear in the result.

      For more information, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • ExpressionAttributeNames — (map<String>)

      One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using ExpressionAttributeNames:

      • To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.

      • To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.

      • To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.

      Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:

      • Percentile

      The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for ExpressionAttributeNames:

      • {"#P":"Percentile"}

      You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:

      • #P = :val

      Note: Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.

      For more information on expression attribute names, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

getResourcePolicy(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Returns the resource-based policy document attached to the resource, which can be a table or stream, in JSON format.

GetResourcePolicy follows an eventually consistent model. The following list describes the outcomes when you issue the GetResourcePolicy request immediately after issuing another request:

  • If you issue a GetResourcePolicy request immediately after a PutResourcePolicy request, DynamoDB might return a PolicyNotFoundException.

  • If you issue a GetResourcePolicyrequest immediately after a DeleteResourcePolicy request, DynamoDB might return the policy that was present before the deletion request.

  • If you issue a GetResourcePolicy request immediately after a CreateTable request, which includes a resource-based policy, DynamoDB might return a ResourceNotFoundException or a PolicyNotFoundException.

Because GetResourcePolicy uses an eventually consistent query, the metadata for your policy or table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then retry the GetResourcePolicy request.

After a GetResourcePolicy request returns a policy created using the PutResourcePolicy request, the policy will be applied in the authorization of requests to the resource. Because this process is eventually consistent, it will take some time to apply the policy to all requests to a resource. Policies that you attach while creating a table using the CreateTable request will always be applied to all requests for that table.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the getResourcePolicy operation

var params = {
  ResourceArn: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
dynamodb.getResourcePolicy(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • ResourceArn — (String)

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the DynamoDB resource to which the policy is attached. The resources you can specify include tables and streams.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • Policy — (String)

        The resource-based policy document attached to the resource, which can be a table or stream, in JSON format.

      • RevisionId — (String)

        A unique string that represents the revision ID of the policy. If you're comparing revision IDs, make sure to always use string comparison logic.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • ClientToken — (String)

      Providing a ClientToken makes the call to ImportTableInput idempotent, meaning that multiple identical calls have the same effect as one single call.

      A client token is valid for 8 hours after the first request that uses it is completed. After 8 hours, any request with the same client token is treated as a new request. Do not resubmit the same request with the same client token for more than 8 hours, or the result might not be idempotent.

      If you submit a request with the same client token but a change in other parameters within the 8-hour idempotency window, DynamoDB returns an IdempotentParameterMismatch exception.

      If a token is not provided, the SDK will use a version 4 UUID.
    • S3BucketSource — (map)

      The S3 bucket that provides the source for the import.

      • S3BucketOwner — (String)

        The account number of the S3 bucket that is being imported from. If the bucket is owned by the requester this is optional.

      • S3Bucketrequired — (String)

        The S3 bucket that is being imported from.

      • S3KeyPrefix — (String)

        The key prefix shared by all S3 Objects that are being imported.

    • InputFormat — (String)

      The format of the source data. Valid values for ImportFormat are CSV, DYNAMODB_JSON or ION.

      • "CSV"
    • InputFormatOptions — (map)

      Additional properties that specify how the input is formatted,

      • Csv — (map)

listBackups(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

List DynamoDB backups that are associated with an Amazon Web Services account and weren't made with Amazon Web Services Backup. To list these backups for a given table, specify TableName. ListBackups returns a paginated list of results with at most 1 MB worth of items in a page. You can also specify a maximum number of entries to be returned in a page.

In the request, start time is inclusive, but end time is exclusive. Note that these boundaries are for the time at which the original backup was requested.

You can call ListBackups a maximum of five times per second.

If you want to retrieve the complete list of backups made with Amazon Web Services Backup, use the Amazon Web Services Backup list API.

putItem(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates a new item, or replaces an old item with a new item. If an item that has the same primary key as the new item already exists in the specified table, the new item completely replaces the existing item. You can perform a conditional put operation (add a new item if one with the specified primary key doesn't exist), or replace an existing item if it has certain attribute values. You can return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the ReturnValues parameter.

When you add an item, the primary key attributes are the only required attributes.

Empty String and Binary attribute values are allowed. Attribute values of type String and Binary must have a length greater than zero if the attribute is used as a key attribute for a table or index. Set type attributes cannot be empty.

Invalid Requests with empty values will be rejected with a ValidationException exception.

Note: To prevent a new item from replacing an existing item, use a conditional expression that contains the attribute_not_exists function with the name of the attribute being used as the partition key for the table. Since every record must contain that attribute, the attribute_not_exists function will only succeed if no matching item exists.

For more information about PutItem, see Working with Items in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • TableName — (String)

      The name of the table to contain the item. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.

    • Item — (map<map>)

      A map of attribute name/value pairs, one for each attribute. Only the primary key attributes are required; you can optionally provide other attribute name-value pairs for the item.

      You must provide all of the attributes for the primary key. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide a value for the partition key. For a composite primary key, you must provide both values for both the partition key and the sort key.

      If you specify any attributes that are part of an index key, then the data types for those attributes must match those of the schema in the table's attribute definition.

      Empty String and Binary attribute values are allowed. Attribute values of type String and Binary must have a length greater than zero if the attribute is used as a key attribute for a table or index.

      For more information about primary keys, see Primary Key in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      Each element in the Item map is an AttributeValue object.

      • S — (String)

        An attribute of type String. For example:

        "S": "Hello"

      • N — (String)

        An attribute of type Number. For example:

        "N": "123.45"

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

        An attribute of type Binary. For example:

        "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

        "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

      • NS — (Array<String>)

        An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

        "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

    • Expected — (map<map>)

      This is a legacy parameter. Use ConditionExpression instead. For more information, see Expected in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      • Value — (map)

        Represents the data for the expected attribute.

        Each attribute value is described as a name-value pair. The name is the data type, and the value is the data itself.

        For more information, see Data Types in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        • S — (String)

          An attribute of type String. For example:

          "S": "Hello"

        • N — (String)

          An attribute of type Number. For example:

          "N": "123.45"

          An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

          "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

        • M — (map<map>)

          An attribute of type Map. For example:

        • NULL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Null. For example:

          "NULL": true

        • BOOL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

          "BOOL": true

      • Exists — (Boolean)

        Causes DynamoDB to evaluate the value before attempting a conditional operation:

        • If Exists is true, DynamoDB will check to see if that attribute value already exists in the table. If it is found, then the operation succeeds. If it is not found, the operation fails with a ConditionCheckFailedException.

        • If Exists is false, DynamoDB assumes that the attribute value does not exist in the table. If in fact the value does not exist, then the assumption is valid and the operation succeeds. If the value is found, despite the assumption that it does not exist, the operation fails with a ConditionCheckFailedException.

        The default setting for Exists is true. If you supply a Value all by itself, DynamoDB assumes the attribute exists: You don't have to set Exists to true, because it is implied.

        DynamoDB returns a ValidationException if:

        • Exists is true but there is no Value to check. (You expect a value to exist, but don't specify what that value is.)

        • Exists is false but you also provide a Value. (You cannot expect an attribute to have a value, while also expecting it not to exist.)

      • ComparisonOperator — (String)

        A comparator for evaluating attributes in the AttributeValueList. For example, equals, greater than, less than, etc.

        The following comparison operators are available:

        EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT | NOT_NULL | NULL | CONTAINS | NOT_CONTAINS | BEGINS_WITH | IN | BETWEEN

        The following are descriptions of each comparison operator.

        • EQ : Equal. EQ is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • NE : Not equal. NE is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • LE : Less than or equal.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • LT : Less than.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • GE : Greater than or equal.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • GT : Greater than.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • NOT_NULL : The attribute exists. NOT_NULL is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          Note: This operator tests for the existence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "a" is null, and you evaluate it using NOT_NULL, the result is a Boolean true. This result is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is not relevant to the NOT_NULL comparison operator.
        • NULL : The attribute does not exist. NULL is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          Note: This operator tests for the nonexistence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "a" is null, and you evaluate it using NULL, the result is a Boolean false. This is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is not relevant to the NULL comparison operator.
        • CONTAINS : Checks for a subsequence, or value in a set.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is of type String, then the operator checks for a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is of type Binary, then the operator looks for a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it finds an exact match with any member of the set.

          CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a CONTAINS b", "a" can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.

        • NOT_CONTAINS : Checks for absence of a subsequence, or absence of a value in a set.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operator checks for the absence of a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is Binary, then the operator checks for the absence of a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it does not find an exact match with any member of the set.

          NOT_CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a NOT CONTAINS b", "a" can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.

        • BEGINS_WITH : Checks for a prefix.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type). The target attribute of the comparison must be of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type).

        • IN : Checks for matching elements in a list.

          AttributeValueList can contain one or more AttributeValue elements of type String, Number, or Binary. These attributes are compared against an existing attribute of an item. If any elements of the input are equal to the item attribute, the expression evaluates to true.

        • BETWEEN : Greater than or equal to the first value, and less than or equal to the second value.

          AttributeValueList must contain two AttributeValue elements of the same type, either String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than, or equal to, the first element and less than, or equal to, the second element. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not compare to {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}

        Possible values include:
        • "EQ"
        • "NE"
        • "IN"
        • "LE"
        • "LT"
        • "GE"
        • "GT"
        • "BETWEEN"
        • "NOT_NULL"
        • "NULL"
        • "CONTAINS"
        • "NOT_CONTAINS"
        • "BEGINS_WITH"
      • AttributeValueList — (Array<map>)

        One or more values to evaluate against the supplied attribute. The number of values in the list depends on the ComparisonOperator being used.

        For type Number, value comparisons are numeric.

        String value comparisons for greater than, equals, or less than are based on ASCII character code values. For example, a is greater than A, and a is greater than B. For a list of code values, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters.

        For Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned when it compares binary values.

        For information on specifying data types in JSON, see JSON Data Format in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        • S — (String)

          An attribute of type String. For example:

          "S": "Hello"

        • N — (String)

          An attribute of type Number. For example:

          "N": "123.45"

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

          An attribute of type Binary. For example:

          "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

        • SS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type String Set. For example:

          "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

        • NS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

          "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

          An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

          "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

        • M — (map<map>)

          An attribute of type Map. For example:

          "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

        • L — (Array<map>)

          An attribute of type List. For example:

          "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

        • NULL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Null. For example:

          "NULL": true

        • BOOL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

          "BOOL": true

    • ReturnValues — (String)

      Use ReturnValues if you want to get the item attributes as they appeared before they were updated with the PutItem request. For PutItem, the valid values are:

      • NONE - If ReturnValues is not specified, or if its value is NONE, then nothing is returned. (This setting is the default for ReturnValues.)

      • ALL_OLD - If PutItem overwrote an attribute name-value pair, then the content of the old item is returned.

      The values returned are strongly consistent.

      There is no additional cost associated with requesting a return value aside from the small network and processing overhead of receiving a larger response. No read capacity units are consumed.

      Note: The ReturnValues parameter is used by several DynamoDB operations; however, PutItem does not recognize any values other than NONE or ALL_OLD.
      Possible values include:
      • "NONE"
      • "ALL_OLD"
      • "UPDATED_OLD"
      • "ALL_NEW"
      • "UPDATED_NEW"
    • ReturnConsumedCapacity — (String)

      Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:

      • INDEXES - The response includes the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation, together with ConsumedCapacity for each table and secondary index that was accessed.

        Note that some operations, such as GetItem and BatchGetItem, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifying INDEXES will only return ConsumedCapacity information for table(s).

      • TOTAL - The response includes only the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation.

      • NONE - No ConsumedCapacity details are included in the response.

      Possible values include:
      • "INDEXES"
      • "TOTAL"
      • "NONE"
    • ReturnItemCollectionMetrics — (String)

      Determines whether item collection metrics are returned. If set to SIZE, the response includes statistics about item collections, if any, that were modified during the operation are returned in the response. If set to NONE (the default), no statistics are returned.

      Possible values include:
      • "SIZE"
      • "NONE"
    • ConditionalOperator — (String)

      This is a legacy parameter. Use ConditionExpression instead. For more information, see ConditionalOperator in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      Possible values include:
      • "AND"
      • "OR"
    • ConditionExpression — (String)

      A condition that must be satisfied in order for a conditional PutItem operation to succeed.

      An expression can contain any of the following:

      • Functions: attribute_exists | attribute_not_exists | attribute_type | contains | begins_with | size

        These function names are case-sensitive.

      • Comparison operators: = | <> | < | > | <= | >= | BETWEEN | IN

      • Logical operators: AND | OR | NOT

      For more information on condition expressions, see Condition Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • ExpressionAttributeNames — (map<String>)

      One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using ExpressionAttributeNames:

      • To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.

      • To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.

      • To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.

      Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:

      • Percentile

      The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for ExpressionAttributeNames:

      • {"#P":"Percentile"}

      You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:

      • #P = :val

      Note: Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.

      For more information on expression attribute names, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • ExpressionAttributeValues — (map<map>)

      One or more values that can be substituted in an expression.

      Use the : (colon) character in an expression to dereference an attribute value. For example, suppose that you wanted to check whether the value of the ProductStatus attribute was one of the following:

      Available | Backordered | Discontinued

      You would first need to specify ExpressionAttributeValues as follows:

      { ":avail":{"S":"Available"}, ":back":{"S":"Backordered"}, ":disc":{"S":"Discontinued"} }

      You could then use these values in an expression, such as this:

      ProductStatus IN (:avail, :back, :disc)

      For more information on expression attribute values, see Condition Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      • S — (String)

        An attribute of type String. For example:

      • N — (String)

        An attribute of type Number. For example:

        "N": "123.45"

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

        An attribute of type Binary. For example:

    • ReturnValuesOnConditionCheckFailure — (String)

      An optional parameter that returns the item attributes for a PutItem operation that failed a condition check.

      There is no additional cost associated with requesting a return value aside from the small network and processing overhead of receiving a larger response. No read capacity units are consumed.

      Possible values include:
      • "ALL_OLD"
      • "NONE"

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

For more information, see Capacity unity consumption for write operations in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        • TableName — (String)

          The name of the table that was affected by the operation. If you had specified the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a table in the input, you'll see the table ARN in the response.

      • ItemCollectionMetrics — (map)

        Information about item collections, if any, that were affected by the PutItem operation. ItemCollectionMetrics is only returned if the ReturnItemCollectionMetrics parameter was specified. If the table does not have any local secondary indexes, this information is not returned in the response.

        Each ItemCollectionMetrics element consists of:

        • ItemCollectionKey - The partition key value of the item collection. This is the same as the partition key value of the item itself.

        • SizeEstimateRangeGB - An estimate of item collection size, in gigabytes. This value is a two-element array containing a lower bound and an upper bound for the estimate. The estimate includes the size of all the items in the table, plus the size of all attributes projected into all of the local secondary indexes on that table. Use this estimate to measure whether a local secondary index is approaching its size limit.

          The estimate is subject to change over time; therefore, do not rely on the precision or accuracy of the estimate.

        • ItemCollectionKey — (map<map>)

            "NULL": true

          • BOOL — (Boolean)

            An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

putResourcePolicy(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Attaches a resource-based policy document to the resource, which can be a table or stream. When you attach a resource-based policy using this API, the policy application is eventually consistent .

PutResourcePolicy is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same resource using the same policy document will return the same revision ID. If you specify an ExpectedRevisionId that doesn't match the current policy's RevisionId, the PolicyNotFoundException will be returned.

Note: PutResourcePolicy is an asynchronous operation. If you issue a GetResourcePolicy request immediately after a PutResourcePolicy request, DynamoDB might return your previous policy, if there was one, or return the PolicyNotFoundException. This is because GetResourcePolicy uses an eventually consistent query, and the metadata for your policy or table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then try the GetResourcePolicy request again.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the putResourcePolicy operation

var params = {
  Policy: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  ResourceArn: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  ConfirmRemoveSelfResourceAccess: true || false,
  ExpectedRevisionId: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
dynamodb.putResourcePolicy(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • ResourceArn — (String)

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the DynamoDB resource to which the policy will be attached. The resources you can specify include tables and streams.

      You can control index permissions using the base table's policy. To specify the same permission level for your table and its indexes, you can provide both the table and index Amazon Resource Name (ARN)s in the Resource field of a given Statement in your policy document. Alternatively, to specify different permissions for your table, indexes, or both, you can define multiple Statement fields in your policy document.

    • Policy — (String)

      An Amazon Web Services resource-based policy document in JSON format.

      • The maximum size supported for a resource-based policy document is 20 KB. DynamoDB counts whitespaces when calculating the size of a policy against this limit.

      • Within a resource-based policy, if the action for a DynamoDB service-linked role (SLR) to replicate data for a global table is denied, adding or deleting a replica will fail with an error.

      For a full list of all considerations that apply while attaching a resource-based policy, see Resource-based policy considerations.

    • ExpectedRevisionId — (String)

      A string value that you can use to conditionally update your policy. You can provide the revision ID of your existing policy to make mutating requests against that policy.

      Note: When you provide an expected revision ID, if the revision ID of the existing policy on the resource doesn't match or if there's no policy attached to the resource, your request will be rejected with a PolicyNotFoundException.

      To conditionally attach a policy when no policy exists for the resource, specify NO_POLICY for the revision ID.

    • ConfirmRemoveSelfResourceAccess — (Boolean)

      Set this parameter to true to confirm that you want to remove your permissions to change the policy of this resource in the future.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • RevisionId — (String)

        A unique string that represents the revision ID of the policy. If you're comparing revision IDs, make sure to always use string comparison logic.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

query(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

You must provide the name of the partition key attribute and a single value for that attribute. Query returns all items with that partition key value. Optionally, you can provide a sort key attribute and use a comparison operator to refine the search results.

Use the KeyConditionExpression parameter to provide a specific value for the partition key. The Query operation will return all of the items from the table or index with that partition key value. You can optionally narrow the scope of the Query operation by specifying a sort key value and a comparison operator in KeyConditionExpression. To further refine the Query results, you can optionally provide a FilterExpression. A FilterExpression determines which items within the results should be returned to you. All of the other results are discarded.

A Query operation always returns a result set. If no matching items are found, the result set will be empty. Queries that do not return results consume the minimum number of read capacity units for that type of read operation.

Note: DynamoDB calculates the number of read capacity units consumed based on item size, not on the amount of data that is returned to an application. The number of capacity units consumed will be the same whether you request all of the attributes (the default behavior) or just some of them (using a projection expression). The number will also be the same whether or not you use a FilterExpression.

Query results are always sorted by the sort key value. If the data type of the sort key is Number, the results are returned in numeric order; otherwise, the results are returned in order of UTF-8 bytes. By default, the sort order is ascending. To reverse the order, set the ScanIndexForward parameter to false.

A single Query operation will read up to the maximum number of items set (if using the Limit parameter) or a maximum of 1 MB of data and then apply any filtering to the results using FilterExpression. If LastEvaluatedKey is present in the response, you will need to paginate the result set. For more information, see Paginating the Results in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

FilterExpression is applied after a Query finishes, but before the results are returned. A FilterExpression cannot contain partition key or sort key attributes. You need to specify those attributes in the KeyConditionExpression.

Note: A Query operation can return an empty result set and a LastEvaluatedKey if all the items read for the page of results are filtered out.

You can query a table, a local secondary index, or a global secondary index. For a query on a table or on a local secondary index, you can set the ConsistentRead parameter to true and obtain a strongly consistent result. Global secondary indexes support eventually consistent reads only, so do not specify ConsistentRead when querying a global secondary index.

});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • TableName — (String)

      The name of the table containing the requested items. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.

    • IndexName — (String)

      The name of an index to query. This index can be any local secondary index or global secondary index on the table. Note that if you use the IndexName parameter, you must also provide TableName.

    • Select — (String)

      The attributes to be returned in the result. You can retrieve all item attributes, specific item attributes, the count of matching items, or in the case of an index, some or all of the attributes projected into the index.

      • ALL_ATTRIBUTES - Returns all of the item attributes from the specified table or index. If you query a local secondary index, then for each matching item in the index, DynamoDB fetches the entire item from the parent table. If the index is configured to project all item attributes, then all of the data can be obtained from the local secondary index, and no fetching is required.

      • ALL_PROJECTED_ATTRIBUTES - Allowed only when querying an index. Retrieves all attributes that have been projected into the index. If the index is configured to project all attributes, this return value is equivalent to specifying ALL_ATTRIBUTES.

      • COUNT - Returns the number of matching items, rather than the matching items themselves. Note that this uses the same quantity of read capacity units as getting the items, and is subject to the same item size calculations.

      • SPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES - Returns only the attributes listed in ProjectionExpression. This return value is equivalent to specifying ProjectionExpression without specifying any value for Select.

        If you query or scan a local secondary index and request only attributes that are projected into that index, the operation will read only the index and not the table. If any of the requested attributes are not projected into the local secondary index, DynamoDB fetches each of these attributes from the parent table. This extra fetching incurs additional throughput cost and latency.

        If you query or scan a global secondary index, you can only request attributes that are projected into the index. Global secondary index queries cannot fetch attributes from the parent table.

      If neither Select nor ProjectionExpression are specified, DynamoDB defaults to ALL_ATTRIBUTES when accessing a table, and ALL_PROJECTED_ATTRIBUTES when accessing an index. You cannot use both Select and ProjectionExpression together in a single request, unless the value for Select is SPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES. (This usage is equivalent to specifying ProjectionExpression without any value for Select.)

      Note: If you use the ProjectionExpression parameter, then the value for Select can only be SPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES. Any other value for Select will return an error.
      Possible values include:
      • "ALL_ATTRIBUTES"
      • "ALL_PROJECTED_ATTRIBUTES"
      • "SPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES"
      • "COUNT"
    • AttributesToGet — (Array<String>)

      This is a legacy parameter. Use ProjectionExpression instead. For more information, see AttributesToGet in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • Limit — (Integer)

      The maximum number of items to evaluate (not necessarily the number of matching items). If DynamoDB processes the number of items up to the limit while processing the results, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to that point, and a key in LastEvaluatedKey to apply in a subsequent operation, so that you can pick up where you left off. Also, if the processed dataset size exceeds 1 MB before DynamoDB reaches this limit, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to the limit, and a key in LastEvaluatedKey to apply in a subsequent operation to continue the operation. For more information, see Query and Scan in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • ConsistentRead — (Boolean)

      Determines the read consistency model: If set to true, then the operation uses strongly consistent reads; otherwise, the operation uses eventually consistent reads.

      Strongly consistent reads are not supported on global secondary indexes. If you query a global secondary index with ConsistentRead set to true, you will receive a ValidationException.

    • KeyConditions — (map<map>)

      This is a legacy parameter. Use KeyConditionExpression instead. For more information, see KeyConditions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      • AttributeValueList — (Array<map>)

        One or more values to evaluate against the supplied attribute. The number of values in the list depends on the ComparisonOperator being used.

        For type Number, value comparisons are numeric.

        String value comparisons for greater than, equals, or less than are based on ASCII character code values. For example, a is greater than A, and a is greater than B. For a list of code values, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters.

        For Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned when it compares binary values.

        • S — (String)

          An attribute of type String. For example:

          "S": "Hello"

        • N — (String)

          An attribute of type Number. For example:

          "N": "123.45"

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

          An attribute of type Binary. For example:

          "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

        • SS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type String Set. For example:

          "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

        • NS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

          "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

          An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

          "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

        • M — (map<map>)

          An attribute of type Map. For example:

          "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

        • L — (Array<map>)

          An attribute of type List. For example:

          "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

        • NULL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Null. For example:

          "NULL": true

        • BOOL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

          "BOOL": true

      • ComparisonOperatorrequired — (String)

        A comparator for evaluating attributes. For example, equals, greater than, less than, etc.

        The following comparison operators are available:

        EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT | NOT_NULL | NULL | CONTAINS | NOT_CONTAINS | BEGINS_WITH | IN | BETWEEN

        The following are descriptions of each comparison operator.

        • EQ : Equal. EQ is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • NE : Not equal. NE is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • LE : Less than or equal.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • LT : Less than.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • GE : Greater than or equal.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • GT : Greater than.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • NOT_NULL : The attribute exists. NOT_NULL is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          Note: This operator tests for the existence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "a" is null, and you evaluate it using NOT_NULL, the result is a Boolean true. This result is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is not relevant to the NOT_NULL comparison operator.
        • NULL : The attribute does not exist. NULL is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          Note: This operator tests for the nonexistence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "a" is null, and you evaluate it using NULL, the result is a Boolean false. This is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is not relevant to the NULL comparison operator.
        • CONTAINS : Checks for a subsequence, or value in a set.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is of type String, then the operator checks for a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is of type Binary, then the operator looks for a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it finds an exact match with any member of the set.

          CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a CONTAINS b", "a" can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.

        • NOT_CONTAINS : Checks for absence of a subsequence, or absence of a value in a set.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operator checks for the absence of a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is Binary, then the operator checks for the absence of a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it does not find an exact match with any member of the set.

          NOT_CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a NOT CONTAINS b", "a" can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.

        • BEGINS_WITH : Checks for a prefix.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type). The target attribute of the comparison must be of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type).

        • IN : Checks for matching elements in a list.

          AttributeValueList can contain one or more AttributeValue elements of type String, Number, or Binary. These attributes are compared against an existing attribute of an item. If any elements of the input are equal to the item attribute, the expression evaluates to true.

        • BETWEEN : Greater than or equal to the first value, and less than or equal to the second value.

          AttributeValueList must contain two AttributeValue elements of the same type, either String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than, or equal to, the first element and less than, or equal to, the second element. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not compare to {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}

    • ConditionalOperator — (String)

      This is a legacy parameter. Use FilterExpression instead. For more information, see ConditionalOperator in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      Possible values include:
      • "AND"
      • "OR"
    • ScanIndexForward — (Boolean)

      Specifies the order for index traversal: If true (default), the traversal is performed in ascending order; if false, the traversal is performed in descending order.

      Items with the same partition key value are stored in sorted order by sort key. If the sort key data type is Number, the results are stored in numeric order. For type String, the results are stored in order of UTF-8 bytes. For type Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned.

      If ScanIndexForward is true, DynamoDB returns the results in the order in which they are stored (by sort key value). This is the default behavior. If ScanIndexForward is false, DynamoDB reads the results in reverse order by sort key value, and then returns the results to the client.

    • ExclusiveStartKey — (map<map>)

      The primary key of the first item that this operation will evaluate. Use the value that was returned for LastEvaluatedKey in the previous operation.

      The data type for ExclusiveStartKey must be String, Number, or Binary. No set data types are allowed.

      • S — (String)

        An attribute of type String. For example:

        "S": "Hello"

      • N — (String)

        An attribute of type Number. For example:

        "N": "123.45"

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

        An attribute of type Binary. For example:

        "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

      • SS — (Array<String>)

        An attribute of type String Set. For example:

        "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

      • NS — (Array<String>)

        An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

        "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

        An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

        "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

      • M — (map<map>)

        An attribute of type Map. For example:

        "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

      • L — (Array<map>)

        An attribute of type List. For example:

        "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

      • NULL — (Boolean)

        An attribute of type Null. For example:

        "NULL": true

      • BOOL — (Boolean)

        An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

        "BOOL": true

    • ReturnConsumedCapacity — (String)

      Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:

      • INDEXES - The response includes the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation, together with ConsumedCapacity for each table and secondary index that was accessed.

        Note that some operations, such as GetItem and BatchGetItem, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifying INDEXES will only return ConsumedCapacity information for table(s).

      • TOTAL - The response includes only the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation.

      • NONE - No ConsumedCapacity details are included in the response.

      Possible values include:
      • "INDEXES"
      • "TOTAL"
      • "NONE"
    • ProjectionExpression — (String)

      A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the expression must be separated by commas.

      If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the result.

      For more information, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • FilterExpression — (String)

      A string that contains conditions that DynamoDB applies after the Query operation, but before the data is returned to you. Items that do not satisfy the FilterExpression criteria are not returned.

      A FilterExpression does not allow key attributes. You cannot define a filter expression based on a partition key or a sort key.

      Note: A FilterExpression is applied after the items have already been read; the process of filtering does not consume any additional read capacity units.

      For more information, see Filter Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • KeyConditionExpression — (String)

      The condition that specifies the key values for items to be retrieved by the Query action.

      The condition must perform an equality test on a single partition key value.

      The condition can optionally perform one of several comparison tests on a single sort key value. This allows Query to retrieve one item with a given partition key value and sort key value, or several items that have the same partition key value but different sort key values.

      The partition key equality test is required, and must be specified in the following format:

      partitionKeyName = :partitionkeyval

      If you also want to provide a condition for the sort key, it must be combined using AND with the condition for the sort key. Following is an example, using the = comparison operator for the sort key:

      partitionKeyName = :partitionkeyval AND sortKeyName = :sortkeyval

      Valid comparisons for the sort key condition are as follows:

      • sortKeyName = :sortkeyval - true if the sort key value is equal to :sortkeyval.

      • sortKeyName < :sortkeyval - true if the sort key value is less than :sortkeyval.

      • sortKeyName <= :sortkeyval - true if the sort key value is less than or equal to :sortkeyval.

      • sortKeyName > :sortkeyval - true if the sort key value is greater than :sortkeyval.

      • sortKeyName >= :sortkeyval - true if the sort key value is greater than or equal to :sortkeyval.

      • sortKeyName BETWEEN :sortkeyval1 AND :sortkeyval2 - true if the sort key value is greater than or equal to :sortkeyval1, and less than or equal to :sortkeyval2.

      • begins_with ( sortKeyName, :sortkeyval ) - true if the sort key value begins with a particular operand. (You cannot use this function with a sort key that is of type Number.) Note that the function name begins_with is case-sensitive.

      Use the ExpressionAttributeValues parameter to replace tokens such as :partitionval and :sortval with actual values at runtime.

      You can optionally use the ExpressionAttributeNames parameter to replace the names of the partition key and sort key with placeholder tokens. This option might be necessary if an attribute name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word. For example, the following KeyConditionExpression parameter causes an error because Size is a reserved word:

      • Size = :myval

      To work around this, define a placeholder (such a #S) to represent the attribute name Size. KeyConditionExpression then is as follows:

      • #S = :myval

      For a list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      For more information on ExpressionAttributeNames and ExpressionAttributeValues, see Using Placeholders for Attribute Names and Values in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • ExpressionAttributeNames — (map<String>)

      One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using ExpressionAttributeNames:

      • To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.

      • To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.

      • To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.

      Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:

      • Percentile

      The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for ExpressionAttributeNames:

      • {"#P":"Percentile"}

      You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:

      • #P = :val

      Note: Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.

      For more information on expression attribute names, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • ExpressionAttributeValues — (map<map>)

      One or more values that can be substituted in an expression.

      Use the : (colon) character in an expression to dereference an attribute value. For example, suppose that you wanted to check whether the value of the ProductStatus attribute was one of the following:

      Available | Backordered | Discontinued

      You would first need to specify ExpressionAttributeValues as follows:

      { ":avail":{"S":"Available"}, ":back":{"S":"Backordered"}, ":disc":{"S":"Discontinued"} }

      You could then use these values in an expression, such as this:

      ProductStatus IN (:avail, :back, :disc)

      For more information on expression attribute values, see Specifying Conditions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • Items — (Array<map<map>>)

        An array of item attributes that match the query criteria. Each element in this array consists of an attribute name and the value for that attribute.

        • S — (String)

      • Count — (Integer)

        The number of items in the response.

        If you used a QueryFilter in the request, then Count is the number of items returned after the filter was applied, and ScannedCount is the number of matching items before the filter was applied.

        If you did not use a filter in the request, then Count and ScannedCount are the same.

      • ScannedCount — (Integer)

        The number of items evaluated, before any QueryFilter is applied. A high ScannedCount value with few, or no, Count results indicates an inefficient Query operation. For more information, see Count and ScannedCount in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        If you did not use a filter in the request, then ScannedCount is the same as Count.

      • LastEvaluatedKey — (map<map>)

        The primary key of the item where the operation stopped, inclusive of the previous result set. Use this value to start a new operation, excluding this value in the new request.

        If LastEvaluatedKey is empty, then the "last page" of results has been processed and there is no more data to be retrieved.

        If LastEvaluatedKey is not empty, it does not necessarily mean that there is more data in the result set. The only way to know when you have reached the end of the result set is when LastEvaluatedKey is empty.

          "BOOL": true

      • ConsumedCapacity — (map)

        The capacity units consumed by the Query operation. The data returned includes the total provisioned throughput consumed, along with statistics for the table and any indexes involved in the operation. ConsumedCapacity is only returned if the ReturnConsumedCapacity parameter was specified. For more information, see Capacity unit consumption for read operations in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        • TableName — (String)

          The name of the table that was affected by the operation. If you had specified the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a table in the input, you'll see the table ARN in the response.

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) associated with the backup.

    • BillingModeOverride — (String)

      The billing mode of the restored table.

      Possible values include:
      • "PROVISIONED"
      • "PAY_PER_REQUEST"
    • GlobalSecondaryIndexOverride — (Array<map>)

      List of global secondary indexes for the restored table. The indexes provided should match existing secondary indexes. You can choose to exclude some or all of the indexes at the time of restore.

      • IndexNamerequired — (String)

        The name of the global secondary index. The name must be unique among all other indexes on this table.

        • HASH - partition key

        • RANGE - sort key

        Note: The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values. The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.
        • AttributeNamerequired — (String)

          The name of a key attribute.

        • KeyTyperequired — (String)

          The role that this key attribute will assume:

          • HASH - partition key

          • RANGE - sort key

          Note: The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values. The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.
          Possible values include:
          • "HASH"
          • "RANGE"
      • Projectionrequired — (map)

        Represents attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the global secondary index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected.

        • ProjectionType — (String)

          The set of attributes that are projected into the index:

          • KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

          • INCLUDE - In addition to the attributes described in KEYS_ONLY, the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.

          • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

          When using the DynamoDB console, ALL is selected by default.

          Possible values include:
          • "ALL"

              • INCLUDE - In addition to the attributes described in KEYS_ONLY, the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.

              • ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

              When using the DynamoDB console, ALL is selected by default.

              Possible values include:
              • "ALL"
              • "KEYS_ONLY"
              • "INCLUDE"
            • NonKeyAttributes — (Array<String>)

              Represents the non-key attribute names which will be projected into the index.

              For local secondary indexes, the total count of NonKeyAttributes summed across all of the local secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.

          • IndexStatus — (String)

            The current state of the global secondary index:

            • CREATING - The index is being created.

            • UPDATING - The index is being updated.

            • DELETING - The index is being deleted.

            • ACTIVE - The index is ready for use.

            Possible values include:
            • "CREATING"
            • "UPDATING"
            • "DELETING"
            • "ACTIVE"
          • Backfilling — (Boolean)

            Indicates whether the index is currently backfilling. Backfilling is the process of reading items from the table and determining whether they can be added to the index. (Not all items will qualify: For example, a partition key cannot have any duplicate values.) If an item can be added to the index, DynamoDB will do so. After all items have been processed, the backfilling operation is complete and Backfilling is false.

            You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false.

            Note: For indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation, the Backfilling attribute does not appear in the DescribeTable output.
          • ProvisionedThroughput — (map)

            Represents the provisioned throughput settings for the specified global secondary index.

            • NumberOfDecreasesToday — (Integer)

              The number of provisioned throughput decreases for this table during this UTC calendar day. For current maximums on provisioned throughput decreases, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

            • ReadCapacityUnits — (Integer)

              The maximum number of strongly consistent reads consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException. Eventually consistent reads require less effort than strongly consistent reads, so a setting of 50 ReadCapacityUnits per second provides 100 eventually consistent ReadCapacityUnits per second.

            • WriteCapacityUnits — (Integer)

              The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException.

          • IndexSizeBytes — (Integer)

            The total size of the specified index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

          • ItemCount — (Integer)

            The number of items in the specified index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

            The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the index.

          • OnDemandThroughput — (map)

            The maximum number of read and write units for the specified global secondary index. If you use this parameter, you must specify MaxReadRequestUnits, MaxWriteRequestUnits, or both.

            • MaxReadRequestUnits — (Integer)

              Maximum number of read request units for the specified table.

              To specify a maximum OnDemandThroughput on your table, set the value of MaxReadRequestUnits as greater than or equal to 1. To remove the maximum OnDemandThroughput that is currently set on your table, set the value of MaxReadRequestUnits to -1.

            • MaxWriteRequestUnits — (Integer)

              Maximum number of write request units for the specified table.

              To specify a maximum OnDemandThroughput on your table, set the value of MaxWriteRequestUnits as greater than or equal to 1. To remove the maximum OnDemandThroughput that is currently set on your table, set the value of MaxWriteRequestUnits to -1.

        • StreamSpecification — (map)

          The current DynamoDB Streams configuration for the table.

          • StreamEnabledrequired — (Boolean)

            Indicates whether DynamoDB Streams is enabled (true) or disabled (false) on the table.

          • StreamViewType — (String)

            • NEW_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appears after it was modified, is written to the stream.

            • OLD_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appeared before it was modified, is written to the stream.

            • NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES - Both the new and the old item images of the item are written to the stream.

            Possible values include:
            • "NEW_IMAGE"
            • "OLD_IMAGE"
            • "NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES"
            • "KEYS_ONLY"
        • LatestStreamLabel — (String)

          A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, for this stream.

          Note that LatestStreamLabel is not a unique identifier for the stream, because it is possible that a stream from another table might have the same timestamp. However, the combination of the following three elements is guaranteed to be unique:

          • Amazon Web Services customer ID

          • Table name

          • StreamLabel

        • LatestStreamArn — (String)

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the latest stream for this table.

            • DELETING - The replica is being deleted.

            • ACTIVE - The replica is ready for use.

            • REGION_DISABLED - The replica is inaccessible because the Amazon Web Services Region has been disabled.

              Note: If the Amazon Web Services Region remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.
            • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The KMS key used to encrypt the table is inaccessible.

              Note: If the KMS key remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.
            Possible values include:

restoreTableToPointInTime(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Restores the specified table to the specified point in time within EarliestRestorableDateTime and LatestRestorableDateTime. You can restore your table to any point in time during the last 35 days. Any number of users can execute up to 50 concurrent restores (any type of restore) in a given account.

When you restore using point in time recovery, DynamoDB restores your table data to the state based on the selected date and time (day:hour:minute:second) to a new table.

Along with data, the following are also included on the new restored table using point in time recovery:

  • Global secondary indexes (GSIs)

  • Local secondary indexes (LSIs)

  • Provisioned read and write capacity

  • Encryption settings

    All these settings come from the current settings of the source table at the time of restore.

You must manually set up the following on the restored table:

  • Auto scaling policies

  • IAM policies

  • Amazon CloudWatch metrics and alarms

  • Tags

  • Stream settings

  • Time to Live (TTL) settings

  • Point in time recovery settings

        • HASH - partition key

        • RANGE - sort key

        Note: The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values. The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.
        • AttributeNamerequired — (String)

          The name of a key attribute.

        • KeyTyperequired — (String)

          The role that this key attribute will assume:

          • HASH - partition key

          • RANGE - sort key

          Note: The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values. The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.
          Possible values include:
          • "HASH"
          • "RANGE"
      • Projectionrequired — (map)

            • "ACTIVE"
          • Backfilling — (Boolean)

            Indicates whether the index is currently backfilling. Backfilling is the process of reading items from the table and determining whether they can be added to the index. (Not all items will qualify: For example, a partition key cannot have any duplicate values.) If an item can be added to the index, DynamoDB will do so. After all items have been processed, the backfilling operation is complete and Backfilling is false.

            You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false.

            Note: For indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation, the Backfilling attribute does not appear in the DescribeTable output.
          • ProvisionedThroughput — (map)

            Represents the provisioned throughput settings for the specified global secondary index.

              The maximum number of strongly consistent reads consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException. Eventually consistent reads require less effort than strongly consistent reads, so a setting of 50 ReadCapacityUnits per second provides 100 eventually consistent ReadCapacityUnits per second.

            • WriteCapacityUnits — (Integer)

              The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException.

            • MaxReadRequestUnits — (Integer)

              Maximum number of read request units for the specified table.

              To specify a maximum OnDemandThroughput on your table, set the value of MaxReadRequestUnits as greater than or equal to 1. To remove the maximum OnDemandThroughput that is currently set on your table, set the value of MaxReadRequestUnits to -1.

            • MaxWriteRequestUnits — (Integer)

              Maximum number of write request units for the specified table.

              To specify a maximum OnDemandThroughput on your table, set the value of MaxWriteRequestUnits as greater than or equal to 1. To remove the maximum OnDemandThroughput that is currently set on your table, set the value of MaxWriteRequestUnits to -1.

        • StreamSpecification — (map)

            • NEW_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appears after it was modified, is written to the stream.

            • OLD_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appeared before it was modified, is written to the stream.

            • NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES - Both the new and the old item images of the item are written to the stream.

            Possible values include:
            • "NEW_IMAGE"
            • "OLD_IMAGE"
            • "NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES"
            • "KEYS_ONLY"
        • LatestStreamLabel — (String)

          A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, for this stream.

          Note that LatestStreamLabel is not a unique identifier for the stream, because it is possible that a stream from another table might have the same timestamp. However, the combination of the following three elements is guaranteed to be unique:

          • Amazon Web Services customer ID

          • Table name

            • DELETING - The replica is being deleted.

            • ACTIVE - The replica is ready for use.

            • REGION_DISABLED - The replica is inaccessible because the Amazon Web Services Region has been disabled.

              Note: If the Amazon Web Services Region remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.
            • INACCESSIBLE_ENCRYPTION_CREDENTIALS - The KMS key used to encrypt the table is inaccessible.

              Note: If the KMS key remains inaccessible for more than 20 hours, DynamoDB will remove this replica from the replication group. The replica will not be deleted and replication will stop from and to this region.
            Possible values include:
            • "CREATING"

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

scan(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

The Scan operation returns one or more items and item attributes by accessing every item in a table or a secondary index. To have DynamoDB return fewer items, you can provide a FilterExpression operation.

If the total size of scanned items exceeds the maximum dataset size limit of 1 MB, the scan completes and results are returned to the user. The LastEvaluatedKey value is also returned and the requestor can use the LastEvaluatedKey to continue the scan in a subsequent operation. Each scan response also includes number of items that were scanned (ScannedCount) as part of the request. If using a FilterExpression, a scan result can result in no items meeting the criteria and the Count will result in zero. If you did not use a FilterExpression in the scan request, then Count is the same as ScannedCount.

Note: Count and ScannedCount only return the count of items specific to a single scan request and, unless the table is less than 1MB, do not represent the total number of items in the table.

A single Scan operation first reads up to the maximum number of items set (if using the Limit parameter) or a maximum of 1 MB of data and then applies any filtering to the results if a FilterExpression is provided. If LastEvaluatedKey is present in the response, pagination is required to complete the full table scan. For more information, see Paginating the Results in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Scan operations proceed sequentially; however, for faster performance on a large table or secondary index, applications can request a parallel Scan operation by providing the Segment and TotalSegments parameters. For more information, see Parallel Scan in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

By default, a Scan uses eventually consistent reads when accessing the items in a table. Therefore, the results from an eventually consistent Scan may not include the latest item changes at the time the scan iterates through each item in the table. If you require a strongly consistent read of each item as the scan iterates through the items in the table, you can set the ConsistentRead parameter to true. Strong consistency only relates to the consistency of the read at the item level.

Note: DynamoDB does not provide snapshot isolation for a scan operation when the ConsistentRead parameter is set to true. Thus, a DynamoDB scan operation does not guarantee that all reads in a scan see a consistent snapshot of the table when the scan operation was requested.

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • TableName — (String)

      The name of the table containing the requested items or if you provide IndexName, the name of the table to which that index belongs.

      You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.

    • IndexName — (String)

      The name of a secondary index to scan. This index can be any local secondary index or global secondary index. Note that if you use the IndexName parameter, you must also provide TableName.

    • AttributesToGet — (Array<String>)

      This is a legacy parameter. Use ProjectionExpression instead. For more information, see AttributesToGet in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • Limit — (Integer)

      The maximum number of items to evaluate (not necessarily the number of matching items). If DynamoDB processes the number of items up to the limit while processing the results, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to that point, and a key in LastEvaluatedKey to apply in a subsequent operation, so that you can pick up where you left off. Also, if the processed dataset size exceeds 1 MB before DynamoDB reaches this limit, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to the limit, and a key in LastEvaluatedKey to apply in a subsequent operation to continue the operation. For more information, see Working with Queries in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • Select — (String)

      The attributes to be returned in the result. You can retrieve all item attributes, specific item attributes, the count of matching items, or in the case of an index, some or all of the attributes projected into the index.

      • ALL_ATTRIBUTES - Returns all of the item attributes from the specified table or index. If you query a local secondary index, then for each matching item in the index, DynamoDB fetches the entire item from the parent table. If the index is configured to project all item attributes, then all of the data can be obtained from the local secondary index, and no fetching is required.

      • ALL_PROJECTED_ATTRIBUTES - Allowed only when querying an index. Retrieves all attributes that have been projected into the index. If the index is configured to project all attributes, this return value is equivalent to specifying ALL_ATTRIBUTES.

      • COUNT - Returns the number of matching items, rather than the matching items themselves. Note that this uses the same quantity of read capacity units as getting the items, and is subject to the same item size calculations.

      • SPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES - Returns only the attributes listed in ProjectionExpression. This return value is equivalent to specifying ProjectionExpression without specifying any value for Select.

        If you query or scan a local secondary index and request only attributes that are projected into that index, the operation reads only the index and not the table. If any of the requested attributes are not projected into the local secondary index, DynamoDB fetches each of these attributes from the parent table. This extra fetching incurs additional throughput cost and latency.

        If you query or scan a global secondary index, you can only request attributes that are projected into the index. Global secondary index queries cannot fetch attributes from the parent table.

      If neither Select nor ProjectionExpression are specified, DynamoDB defaults to ALL_ATTRIBUTES when accessing a table, and ALL_PROJECTED_ATTRIBUTES when accessing an index. You cannot use both Select and ProjectionExpression together in a single request, unless the value for Select is SPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES. (This usage is equivalent to specifying ProjectionExpression without any value for Select.)

      Note: If you use the ProjectionExpression parameter, then the value for Select can only be SPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES. Any other value for Select will return an error.
      Possible values include:
      • "ALL_ATTRIBUTES"
      • "ALL_PROJECTED_ATTRIBUTES"
      • "SPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES"
      • "COUNT"
    • ScanFilter — (map<map>)

      This is a legacy parameter. Use FilterExpression instead. For more information, see ScanFilter in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      • AttributeValueList — (Array<map>)

        One or more values to evaluate against the supplied attribute. The number of values in the list depends on the ComparisonOperator being used.

        For type Number, value comparisons are numeric.

        String value comparisons for greater than, equals, or less than are based on ASCII character code values. For example, a is greater than A, and a is greater than B. For a list of code values, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters.

        For Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned when it compares binary values.

        • S — (String)

          An attribute of type String. For example:

          "S": "Hello"

        • N — (String)

          An attribute of type Number. For example:

          "N": "123.45"

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

          An attribute of type Binary. For example:

          "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

        • SS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type String Set. For example:

          "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

        • NS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

          "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

          An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

          "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

        • M — (map<map>)

          An attribute of type Map. For example:

          "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

        • L — (Array<map>)

          An attribute of type List. For example:

          "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

        • NULL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Null. For example:

          "NULL": true

        • BOOL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

          "BOOL": true

      • ComparisonOperatorrequired — (String)

        A comparator for evaluating attributes. For example, equals, greater than, less than, etc.

        The following comparison operators are available:

        EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT | NOT_NULL | NULL | CONTAINS | NOT_CONTAINS | BEGINS_WITH | IN | BETWEEN

        The following are descriptions of each comparison operator.

        • EQ : Equal. EQ is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • NE : Not equal. NE is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • LE : Less than or equal.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • LT : Less than.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • GE : Greater than or equal.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • GT : Greater than.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

        • NOT_NULL : The attribute exists. NOT_NULL is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          Note: This operator tests for the existence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "a" is null, and you evaluate it using NOT_NULL, the result is a Boolean true. This result is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is not relevant to the NOT_NULL comparison operator.
        • NULL : The attribute does not exist. NULL is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

          Note: This operator tests for the nonexistence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "a" is null, and you evaluate it using NULL, the result is a Boolean false. This is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is not relevant to the NULL comparison operator.
        • CONTAINS : Checks for a subsequence, or value in a set.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is of type String, then the operator checks for a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is of type Binary, then the operator looks for a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it finds an exact match with any member of the set.

          CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a CONTAINS b", "a" can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.

        • NOT_CONTAINS : Checks for absence of a subsequence, or absence of a value in a set.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operator checks for the absence of a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is Binary, then the operator checks for the absence of a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it does not find an exact match with any member of the set.

          NOT_CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a NOT CONTAINS b", "a" can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.

        • BEGINS_WITH : Checks for a prefix.

          AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type). The target attribute of the comparison must be of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type).

        • IN : Checks for matching elements in a list.

          AttributeValueList can contain one or more AttributeValue elements of type String, Number, or Binary. These attributes are compared against an existing attribute of an item. If any elements of the input are equal to the item attribute, the expression evaluates to true.

        • BETWEEN : Greater than or equal to the first value, and less than or equal to the second value.

          AttributeValueList must contain two AttributeValue elements of the same type, either String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than, or equal to, the first element and less than, or equal to, the second element. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not compare to {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}

        For usage examples of AttributeValueList and ComparisonOperator, see Legacy Conditional Parameters in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        Possible values include:
        • "EQ"
        • "NE"
        • "IN"
        • "LE"
        • "LT"
        • "GE"
        • "GT"
        • "BETWEEN"
        • "NOT_NULL"
        • "NULL"
        • "CONTAINS"
        • "NOT_CONTAINS"
        • "BEGINS_WITH"
    • ConditionalOperator — (String)

      This is a legacy parameter. Use FilterExpression instead. For more information, see ConditionalOperator in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      Possible values include:
      • "AND"
      • "OR"
    • ExclusiveStartKey — (map<map>)

      The primary key of the first item that this operation will evaluate. Use the value that was returned for LastEvaluatedKey in the previous operation.

      The data type for ExclusiveStartKey must be String, Number or Binary. No set data types are allowed.

      In a parallel scan, a Scan request that includes ExclusiveStartKey must specify the same segment whose previous Scan returned the corresponding value of LastEvaluatedKey.

      • S — (String)

        An attribute of type String. For example:

        "S": "Hello"

      • N — (String)

        An attribute of type Number. For example:

        "N": "123.45"

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

        An attribute of type Binary. For example:

        "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

      • SS — (Array<String>)

        An attribute of type String Set. For example:

        "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

      • NS — (Array<String>)

        An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

        "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

        An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

        "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

      • M — (map<map>)

        An attribute of type Map. For example:

        "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

      • L — (Array<map>)

        An attribute of type List. For example:

        "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

      • NULL — (Boolean)

        An attribute of type Null. For example:

        "NULL": true

      • BOOL — (Boolean)

        An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

        "BOOL": true

    • ReturnConsumedCapacity — (String)

      Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:

      • INDEXES - The response includes the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation, together with ConsumedCapacity for each table and secondary index that was accessed.

        Note that some operations, such as GetItem and BatchGetItem, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifying INDEXES will only return ConsumedCapacity information for table(s).

      • TOTAL - The response includes only the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation.

      • NONE - No ConsumedCapacity details are included in the response.

      Possible values include:
      • "INDEXES"
      • "TOTAL"
      • "NONE"
    • TotalSegments — (Integer)

      For a parallel Scan request, TotalSegments represents the total number of segments into which the Scan operation will be divided. The value of TotalSegments corresponds to the number of application workers that will perform the parallel scan. For example, if you want to use four application threads to scan a table or an index, specify a TotalSegments value of 4.

      The value for TotalSegments must be greater than or equal to 1, and less than or equal to 1000000. If you specify a TotalSegments value of 1, the Scan operation will be sequential rather than parallel.

      If you specify TotalSegments, you must also specify Segment.

    • Segment — (Integer)

      For a parallel Scan request, Segment identifies an individual segment to be scanned by an application worker.

      Segment IDs are zero-based, so the first segment is always 0. For example, if you want to use four application threads to scan a table or an index, then the first thread specifies a Segment value of 0, the second thread specifies 1, and so on.

      The value of LastEvaluatedKey returned from a parallel Scan request must be used as ExclusiveStartKey with the same segment ID in a subsequent Scan operation.

      The value for Segment must be greater than or equal to 0, and less than the value provided for TotalSegments.

      If you provide Segment, you must also provide TotalSegments.

    • ProjectionExpression — (String)

      A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the specified table or index. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the expression must be separated by commas.

      If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the result.

      For more information, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • FilterExpression — (String)

      A string that contains conditions that DynamoDB applies after the Scan operation, but before the data is returned to you. Items that do not satisfy the FilterExpression criteria are not returned.

      Note: A FilterExpression is applied after the items have already been read; the process of filtering does not consume any additional read capacity units.

      For more information, see Filter Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • ExpressionAttributeNames — (map<String>)

      One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using ExpressionAttributeNames:

      • To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.

      • To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.

      • To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.

      Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:

      • Percentile

      The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for ExpressionAttributeNames:

      • {"#P":"Percentile"}

      You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:

      • #P = :val

      Note: Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.

      For more information on expression attribute names, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

    • ExpressionAttributeValues — (map<map>)

      One or more values that can be substituted in an expression.

      Use the : (colon) character in an expression to dereference an attribute value. For example, suppose that you wanted to check whether the value of the ProductStatus attribute was one of the following:

      Available | Backordered | Discontinued

      You would first need to specify ExpressionAttributeValues as follows:

      { ":avail":{"S":"Available"}, ":back":{"S":"Backordered"}, ":disc":{"S":"Discontinued"} }

      You could then use these values in an expression, such as this:

      ProductStatus IN (:avail, :back, :disc)

      For more information on expression attribute values, see Condition Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      • S — (String)

        An attribute of type String. For example:

        "S": "Hello"

      • N — (String)

        An attribute of type Number. For example:

        "N": "123.45"

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

        An attribute of type Binary. For example:

        "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

        "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

        Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

      • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

        An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

        "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

      • M — (map<map>)

        An attribute of type Map. For example:

        "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

      • NULL — (Boolean)

        An attribute of type Null. For example:

        "NULL": true

      • BOOL — (Boolean)

        An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

        "BOOL": true

    • ConsistentRead — (Boolean)

      A Boolean value that determines the read consistency model during the scan:

      • If ConsistentRead is false, then the data returned from Scan might not contain the results from other recently completed write operations (PutItem, UpdateItem, or DeleteItem).

      • If ConsistentRead is true, then all of the write operations that completed before the Scan began are guaranteed to be contained in the Scan response.

      The default setting for ConsistentRead is false.

      The ConsistentRead parameter is not supported on global secondary indexes. If you scan a global secondary index with ConsistentRead set to true, you will receive a ValidationException.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • Items — (Array<map<map>>)

        An array of item attributes that match the scan criteria. Each element in this array consists of an attribute name and the value for that attribute.

        • S — (String)

          An attribute of type String. For example:

          "S": "Hello"

        • N — (String)

          An attribute of type Number. For example:

          "N": "123.45"

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

          An attribute of type Binary. For example:

          "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

        • SS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type String Set. For example:

          "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

        • NS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

          "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

          An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

          "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

        • M — (map<map>)

          An attribute of type Map. For example:

          "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

        • L — (Array<map>)

          An attribute of type List. For example:

          "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

        • NULL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Null. For example:

          "NULL": true

        • BOOL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

          "BOOL": true

      • Count — (Integer)

        The number of items in the response.

        If you set ScanFilter in the request, then Count is the number of items returned after the filter was applied, and ScannedCount is the number of matching items before the filter was applied.

        If you did not use a filter in the request, then Count is the same as ScannedCount.

      • ScannedCount — (Integer)

        The number of items evaluated, before any ScanFilter is applied. A high ScannedCount value with few, or no, Count results indicates an inefficient Scan operation. For more information, see Count and ScannedCount in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        If you did not use a filter in the request, then ScannedCount is the same as Count.

      • LastEvaluatedKey — (map<map>)

        The primary key of the item where the operation stopped, inclusive of the previous result set. Use this value to start a new operation, excluding this value in the new request.

        If LastEvaluatedKey is empty, then the "last page" of results has been processed and there is no more data to be retrieved.

        If LastEvaluatedKey is not empty, it does not necessarily mean that there is more data in the result set. The only way to know when you have reached the end of the result set is when LastEvaluatedKey is empty.

        • S — (String)

          An attribute of type String. For example:

          "S": "Hello"

        • N — (String)

          An attribute of type Number. For example:

          "N": "123.45"

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • B — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

          An attribute of type Binary. For example:

          "B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"

          An attribute of type String Set. For example:

          "SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]

        • NS — (Array<String>)

          An attribute of type Number Set. For example:

          "NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]

          Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.

        • BS — (Array<Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String>)

          An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:

          "BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]

        • M — (map<map>)

          An attribute of type Map. For example:

          "M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}

        • L — (Array<map>)

          An attribute of type List. For example:

          "L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]

        • NULL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Null. For example:

          "NULL": true

        • BOOL — (Boolean)

          An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

          "BOOL": true

      • ConsumedCapacity — (map)

        The capacity units consumed by the Scan operation. The data returned includes the total provisioned throughput consumed, along with statistics for the table and any indexes involved in the operation. ConsumedCapacity is only returned if the ReturnConsumedCapacity parameter was specified. For more information, see Capacity unit consumption for read operations in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

        • TableName — (String)

          The name of the table that was affected by the operation. If you had specified the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a table in the input, you'll see the table ARN in the response.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

tagResource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Associate a set of tags with an Amazon DynamoDB resource. You can then activate these user-defined tags so that they appear on the Billing and Cost Management console for cost allocation tracking. You can call TagResource up to five times per second, per account.

For an overview on tagging DynamoDB resources, see Tagging for DynamoDB in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the tagResource operation

var params = {
  ResourceArn: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  Tags: [ /* required */
    {
      Key: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
      Value: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
    },
    /* more items */
  ]
};
dynamodb.tagResource(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • ResourceArn — (String)

      Identifies the Amazon DynamoDB resource to which tags should be added. This value is an Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

    • Tags — (Array<map>)

      The tags to be assigned to the Amazon DynamoDB resource.

      • Keyrequired — (String)

        The key of the tag. Tag keys are case sensitive. Each DynamoDB table can only have up to one tag with the same key. If you try to add an existing tag (same key), the existing tag value will be updated to the new value.

      • Valuerequired — (String)

        The value of the tag. Tag values are case-sensitive and can be null.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

transactGetItems(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

TransactGetItems is a synchronous operation that atomically retrieves multiple items from one or more tables (but not from indexes) in a single account and Region. A TransactGetItems call can contain up to 100 TransactGetItem objects, each of which contains a Get structure that specifies an item to retrieve from a table in the account and Region. A call to TransactGetItems cannot retrieve items from tables in more than one Amazon Web Services account or Region. The aggregate size of the items in the transaction cannot exceed 4 MB.

DynamoDB rejects the entire TransactGetItems request if any of the following is true:

  • A conflicting operation is in the process of updating an item to be read.

  • There is insufficient provisioned capacity for the transaction to be completed.

  • There is a user error, such as an invalid data format.

  • The aggregate size of the items in the transaction exceeded 4 MB.

Examples:

Calling the transactGetItems operation

var params = {
  TransactItems: [ /* required */
    {
      Get: { /* required */
        Key: { /* required */
          '<AttributeName>': { /* AttributeValue */

            BOOL: true || false,
            BS: [
              Buffer.from('...') || 'STRING_VALUE' /* Strings will be Base-64 encoded on your behalf */,
              /* more items */
