Overview

Use this class to wrap strings that you want Amazon DynamoDB to store as a binary attribute. This can reduce the size of larger attributes to save on storage costs.

table = AWS::DynamoDB.new.tables['data-table']
table.hash_key = { 'id' => :string }
table.range_key = { 'position' => :number }

# put an item with a binary data attribute
table.items.create(
  'id' => 'abc',
  'position' => 5,
  'data' => AWS::DynamoDB::Binary.new('abc')
)
