dynamodb-migrations

This library allows you to manager DynamoDB Migration Files (Which includes your Tables Schema and Seed data) with an simplified template for use in devops.

This Plugin Requires

• Local Dynamodb Instance or AWS Account with Dynamodb Access Configured

Features

• Create Migration Templates
• Execute Migration Templates Individually
• Execute All the Migration Templates At Once

Installation

npm install --save dynamodb-migrations

Usage

Usage example

var AWS = require('aws-sdk'),
dm = require("dynamodb-migrations");

/* Note: To configure AWS Credentials refer https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-node-js/ */

var dynamodb = {raw: new AWS.DynamoDB() , doc: new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient() };
dm.init(dynamodb, '<myprojectroot>/<migrations>'); /* This method requires multiple dynamodb instances with default Dynamodb client and Dynamodb Document Client. All the other methods depends on this. */
dm.create('sampleTable'); /* Use gulp, grunt or serverless to integrate this with the commandline, modify the created template file with your custom table schema and seed data */
dm.execute('sampleTable', { prefix: 'dev-', suffix: '-sample'}); /* This executes the 'sampleTable' migration. Note: second parameter is optional. With prefix and suffix actual table name e.g dev-<tablename>-sample

Note: For dynamodb local you can initialize the dynamodb variable as follows

var  options = { region: 'localhost', endpoint: "http://localhost:8000" },
     dynamodb = {raw: new AWS.DynamoDB(options) , doc: new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient(options) };

Note: for the 'init' method, the migration directory path should be an absolute path. Following example shows how to refer the adbolute path

var path = require('path');
var relPath = 'migrations';
var absolutePath = path.dirname(__filename) + '/' + relPath;

Supported methods

init(dynamodb, migrationsDir)            To initialize DynamoDB Client Instances to execute queries and to initialize the directory where migration files exists
create(migrationName)                    To create a new template with migrationName included, which you can modify to include other attributes and seed data. More information on migration template is shown in the following section.
execute(migrationName, tableOptions)     To execute a single migration file. This create the tables if they don't exists and runs the seeds defined in the migration file. tableOptions provides, tablePrefix and tableSuffix attributes to be set, if the actual table is different from migration name
executeAll(tableOptions)               To execute all the migration files to create tables and run all the seeds
