Dynanode

Dynanode is a wrapper around the AWS DynamoDB SDK for node. Dynanode's goal is to make it easier to work with the AWS SDK while staying true to the DynamoDB way of doing things. Wherever possible, it uses the termonology set forth in the AWS SDK.

Quick Start

$ npm install --save dynanode

import dn from 'dynanode';

dn.table('Movies')
  .get({title: 'Fantastic Beasts'})
  .run()
  .then(movie => {
    console.log(movie.title); // Fantastic Beasts
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });
