aws-go-dynamodb

aws-go-dynamodb is an Amazon DynamoDB utility library built with aws/aws-sdk-go-v2.

v2

Usage:

import "github.com/nabeken/aws-go-dynamodb/v2"

As of Jan 27, 2024, the master branch is work-in-progress for aws-sdk-go-v2 support. Please be aware of it.

Migration to v2

v2 has the breaking changes. Especially, you have better to test marshal and unmarshal behavior in v2 with the existing items that is created with v1.

You can find the examples in the test code.

item.{Unmarshaler,Marshaler}:

The Unmarshaler and Marshaler interface in v1 have been removed in favor of the official attributevalue.Unmarshaler and attributevalue.Marshaler.

Marshaling and Unmashaling:

v2 now uses the official attributevalue package to marshal Go value into DynamoDB item and unmarshal DynamoDB item into Go value.

You have to add dynamodbav struct tag to make your struct work with the attributevalue package.

List and Set in DynamoDB:

The official attributevalue package handles a Go's slice as List type. If you want to handle it as Set (e.g. StringSet), you have to add stringset option in dynamodbav struct tag.

Handling of Expression Attribute:

v2's option package now works well with the official expression package.

Handling errors:

It's not the v2's specific topic but you now have to handle errors in the way that aws-sdk-go-v2 recommends.

Example to check whether if a condition is failed:

var exception *types.ConditionalCheckFailedException
assert.True(t, errors.As(err, &exception))
assert.Equal(t, "ConditionalCheckFailedException", exception.ErrorCode())

Handling options:

The option appliers are converted into an interface from the optional function pattern.

Example:

dtable.GetItem(context.TODO(), hashKey, rangeKey, &actualItem, option.ConsistentRead(true))

v1

If you want to use this library with aws-sdk-go, please use v1 version of the library.

Usage:

import "github.com/nabeken/aws-go-dynamodb"

Testing

The tests will run on DynamoDB Local running on tcp/18000. Docker helps you to launch it on your local.

docker pull amazon/dynamodb-local:latest
docker run --name aws-go-dynamodb -d -p 18000:8000 amazon/dynamodb-local:latest
cd table
go test -v
docker rm -f aws-go-dynamodb
