CLI

AWS CLI

Example 1: To add an item to a table

The following put-item example adds a new item to the MusicCollection table.


aws dynamodb put-item \
    --table-name MusicCollection \
    --item file://item.json \
    --return-consumed-capacity TOTAL \
    --return-item-collection-metrics SIZE

Contents of item.json:


{
    "Artist": {"S": "No One You Know"},
    "SongTitle": {"S": "Call Me Today"},
    "AlbumTitle": {"S": "Greatest Hits"}
}

Output:


{
    "ConsumedCapacity": {
        "TableName": "MusicCollection",
        "CapacityUnits": 1.0
    },
    "ItemCollectionMetrics": {
        "ItemCollectionKey": {
            "Artist": {
                "S": "No One You Know"
            }
        },
        "SizeEstimateRangeGB": [
            0.0,
            1.0
        ]
    }
}

For more information, see Writing an Item in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Example 2: To conditionally overwrite an item in a table

The following put-item example overwrites an existing item in the MusicCollection table only if that existing item has an AlbumTitle attribute with a value of Greatest Hits. The command returns the previous value of the item.


aws dynamodb put-item \
    --table-name MusicCollection \
    --item file://item.json \
    --condition-expression "#A = :A" \
    --expression-attribute-names file://names.json \
    --expression-attribute-values file://values.json \
    --return-values ALL_OLD

Contents of item.json:


{
    "Artist": {"S": "No One You Know"},
    "SongTitle": {"S": "Call Me Today"},
    "AlbumTitle": {"S": "Somewhat Famous"}
}

Contents of names.json:


{
    "#A": "AlbumTitle"
}

Contents of values.json:


{
    ":A": {"S": "Greatest Hits"}
}

Output:


{
    "Attributes": {
        "AlbumTitle": {
            "S": "Greatest Hits"
        },
        "Artist": {
            "S": "No One You Know"
        },
        "SongTitle": {
            "S": "Call Me Today"
        }
    }
}

If the key already exists, you should see the following output:


A client error (ConditionalCheckFailedException) occurred when calling the PutItem operation: The conditional request failed.
