Dynamo NPM | npm.io

dynamo

This is a node.js binding for the DynamoDB service provided by Amazon Web Services. It currently supports the entire DynamoDB API in an unsugared (read: Amazon-flavored (read: ugly)) format. I'll be adding a more comfortable API over the coming week to make DynamoDB operations more node-ish, so stay tuned.

Goals

Use travis-ci's continuous integration testing for reliability
Abstract DynamoDB's implementation, but not its tradeoffs/philosophy
Be to DynamoDB what @mranney's excellent node_redis is to Redis

Example

var dynamo = require("dynamo") // name pending, unfortunately
  , db = dynamo.createClient()

// the current API is unsugared, mirrors the DynamoDB API...
db.listTables({}, function(err, data) {
  if (err) return console.warn(err)

  var name, names = data.TableNames

  while (name = names.shift()) {
  	console.log("table: " + name)
  }
})

// but an additional, more node-friendly API is in the works.
// this is a theoretical example of what i have in mind:
db.tables.forEach(function(err, name, next) {
  if (err) return console.warn(err)

  console.log("table: " + name)

  if (next) next() // use connect-style continuations for batching
})
