Overview

Note:

When passing PutItemInput as input to an Aws::Client method, you can use a vanilla Hash:

{
  table_name: "TableName", # required
  item: { # required
    "AttributeName" => "value", # value <Hash,Array,String,Numeric,Boolean,IO,Set,nil>
  },
  expected: {
    "AttributeName" => {
      value: "value", # value <Hash,Array,String,Numeric,Boolean,IO,Set,nil>
      exists: false,
      comparison_operator: "EQ", # accepts EQ, NE, IN, LE, LT, GE, GT, BETWEEN, NOT_NULL, NULL, CONTAINS, NOT_CONTAINS, BEGINS_WITH
      attribute_value_list: ["value"], # value <Hash,Array,String,Numeric,Boolean,IO,Set,nil>
    },
  },
  return_values: "NONE", # accepts NONE, ALL_OLD, UPDATED_OLD, ALL_NEW, UPDATED_NEW
  return_consumed_capacity: "INDEXES", # accepts INDEXES, TOTAL, NONE
  return_item_collection_metrics: "SIZE", # accepts SIZE, NONE
  conditional_operator: "AND", # accepts AND, OR
  condition_expression: "ConditionExpression",
  expression_attribute_names: {
    "ExpressionAttributeNameVariable" => "AttributeName",
  },
  expression_attribute_values: {
    "ExpressionAttributeValueVariable" => "value", # value <Hash,Array,String,Numeric,Boolean,IO,Set,nil>
  },
}

Represents the input of a PutItem operation.

Instance Attribute Details

#condition_expression ⇒ 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.

Returns:

  • (String) —

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

#conditional_operator ⇒ String

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

Returns:

  • (String) —

    This is a legacy parameter.

#expected ⇒ Hash<String,Types::ExpectedAttributeValue>

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

Returns:

#expression_attribute_names ⇒ Hash<String,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

^

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.

Returns:

  • (Hash<String,String>) —

    One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression.

#expression_attribute_values ⇒ Hash<String,Types::AttributeValue>

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.

Returns:

#item ⇒ Hash<String,Types::AttributeValue>

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.

Returns:

#return_consumed_capacity ⇒ String

Determines the level of detail about provisioned 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:

  • INDEXES
  • TOTAL
  • NONE

Returns:

  • (String) —

    Determines the level of detail about provisioned 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.

#return_item_collection_metrics ⇒ 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:

  • SIZE
  • NONE

Returns:

  • (String) —

    Determines whether item collection metrics are returned.

#return_values ⇒ 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 ReturnValues parameter is used by several DynamoDB operations; however, PutItem does not recognize any values other than NONE or ALL_OLD.

Possible values:

  • NONE
  • ALL_OLD
  • UPDATED_OLD
  • ALL_NEW
  • UPDATED_NEW

Returns:

  • (String) —

    Use ReturnValues if you want to get the item attributes as they appeared before they were updated with the PutItem request.

#table_name ⇒ String

The name of the table to contain the item.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The name of the table to contain the item.
