A thin layer on top of the AWS SDK for .NET using the Object Persistence Model.
You need a DynamoDB instance in order to use this library. You can follow the official instructions provided by AWS here.
It should be noted that the object(s) from your application that you want to store in DynamoDB have to conform to the Object Persistence Model.
Relevant documentation pages that you can follow to set up your profile:
This library assumes you'll use the AWS CLI tools and will have configured your access keys via the aws configure command.
Using the library is simple. You have to call the AddDynamoDb() service collection extension method and inject the configuraiton in the project where you want to connect to DynamoDB.
services.Configure<DynamoDbConfiguration>(context.Configuration.GetSection("DynamoDb"));
services.AddDynamoDB();The configuration will be read from the DynamoDb section located in the appsettings.json file
"DynamoDb": {
"TableName": "Menu",
"TablePrefix": ""
}This will give you access to the IDynamoDbObjectStorage which you'll use to perform CRUD operations with in DynamoDB.
This will also give you access to the IDynamoDbObjectSearch which you'll use to perform any Scan / Query operations with in DynamoDB.
The package provides a converter from Guid to string since DynamoDb doesn't understand UUID's. The DynamoDbGuidConverter can be found in the Amido.Stacks.DynamoDB.Converters namespace.
[DynamoDBProperty(typeof(DynamoDbGuidConverter))]
public Guid Id { get; private set; }To map your own types you can create your own converters. Documentation on how to do that can be found here.
