DynamoDb client built with lodash and rxjs!

Hi, this client is built on top of RxJS Observables (a reactive programming library https://rxjs.dev), so, would be good to have a small portion of knowledege about that to enjoy all the features which this lib provide, specially the operators. I'will explain a bit when needed.

To create an instance, is simple, just pass a dynamodb client to lib's constructor:

	import AWS from 'aws-sdk';
	import {
		DynamoDB
	} from 'rxjs-dynamodb-client';

	AWS.config.update({
		accessKeyId: 'yourAccessKeyId',
		secretAccessKey: 'yourSecretAccessKey',
		region: 'us-east-1'
	});

	const dynamoDb = new DynamoDB({
		client: new AWS.DynamoDB()
	});

Methods

.table(tableName: string, tableSchema: object)

Starts an operation chain

Returns a request instance which allow chain more operations

  dynamoDb.table(tableName: string, tableSchema: {
  	primaryKeys: {
  		partition: string [required];
  		sort: string [optional];
  	}
  	indexes: {
  		someLocalIndexName: {
  			partition: string [required];
  			sort: string [required];
  		},
  		someGlobalIndexName: {
  			partition: string [required];
  			sort: string [required];
  		}
  	}
  });

.addPlaceholderName(value: string | Array | object) .addPlaceholderValue(value: string | Array | object)

Chain to create placeholders to be used in conjunction of expressions

Returns a request instance which allow chain more operations

  dynamoDb.table({...})
  	.addPlaceholderName({
  		a: 'field1'	
  	})
  	.addPlaceholderValue({
  		b: 'value'	
  	})
  	.filter(`begins_with(#a, :b)`) // any dynamodb expression http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/
  	.query({...});

  dynamoDb.table({...})
  	.addPlaceholderName('field1')
  	.addPlaceholderValue('value')
  	.filter(`begins_with(#field1, :value)`) // any dynamodb expression http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/
  	.query({...});

  dynamoDb.table({...})
  	.addPlaceholderName(['field1', 'field2'])
  	.addPlaceholderValue(['value1', 'value2'])
  	.filter(`begins_with(#field1, :field1) OR #field2 = :value2`) // any dynamodb expression http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/
  	.query({...});

.describe()

Describe existent table
Returns an observable carrying the data about table if exists, throws if not, which can be used to create a table if not exists, se sample below.
```
  dynamoDb.table({...})
  	.describe({...})
  	.pipe(
  		catch(() => createTable)
  	)
  	.subscribe(next, err, complete);
```

Note: If you are using Promises, you can easily tranform Observables into Promises calling .toPromise() instead of .subscribe(), but we really advice you to learn RxJS, its amazing powerful.

.consumedCapacity(value: string)

Chain to inform request to returns consumedCapacity in their results

Returns a request instance which allow chain more operations

  import {
  	ConsumedCapacity
  } from 'rxjs-dynamodb-client';

  dynamoDb.table({...})

  	.query({...});

.select(values: any)

Chain to inform requests what to returns when querying or getting an entity

  dynamoDb.table({...})
  	.consistent()
  	.query({...});

.query(args: object | string) .queryScan(args: object | string)

Query table using primaryKeys or Indexes, or combined.

Returns an observable carrying the data, which can be used with any RxJS operators, like, map, filter, reduce, debounceTime, ...

  dynamoDb.table({...})
  	.index(...)
  	.select(...)
  	.limit(10)
  	.query({
  		[partitionAttr]: string;
  		[sortAttr]: string;
  		|
  		[partitionAttr]: string;
  		[localIndexAttr]: string;
  		|
  		[globalIndexartitionAttr]: string;
  		[globalIndexortAttr]: string;
  	})
  	.pipe(
  		filter(filterFn), // rxjs sample operators
  		map(mapFn), // rxjs sample operators
  		toArray() // Other way it will emit values by streaming, good if you are using real time responses, like webSocket [=.
  	)
  	.subscribe(next, err, complete);

  const request = dynamoDb.table({...});

  request.select(...)
  	.limit(10)
  	.addPlaceholderName({
  		partition: 'partitionAttr',
  		sort: 'sortAttr'
  	})
  	.addPlaceholderValue({
  		partition: 'partitionValue',	
  		sort: 'sortValue'	
  	})
  	.query(`#partition = :partition AND begins_with(#sort, :sort)`)
  	.pipe(
  		toArray(), // Other way it will emit values by streaming, good if you are using real time responses, like webSocket [=.
  		map(items => {
  			return {
  				items,
  				stats: request.queryStats // at the end, you can get queryStats which gives you before, after, count, consumedCapacity, scannedCount and iteractions
  			}
  		})
  	)
  	.subscribe(next, err, complete);

  	// this response will be
  	//
  	// {
  	//		after: object;
  	//		before: object;
  	//		consumedCapacity: number;
  	//		count: number;
  	//		items: Array<item>;
  	//		iteractions: number;
  	//		scannedCount: number;
  	// }

Note: DynamoDb just fetch max 1MB, this lib handles this and perform many requests as needed to fetch all data. So, always look for use .limit(value: number) when querying.

.get(item: object)

  		[sortAttr]: string;	 // required
  	})
  	.pipe(
  		filter(filterFn), // rxjs sample operators
  		map(mapFn) // rxjs sample operators
  	)
  	.subscribe(next, err, complete);

Low level requests

If you need to perform low level requests, like create a table, you can do it using .routeCall(opertaionName: string, args: object). This sample creates a table if it not exists, and insert 10 items. We are using RxJS operators, if you have doubts about that, you can learn at https://rxjs.dev.

		request.describe() // verify if table exists
			.pipe(
				catch(() => request.routeCall('createTable', { //if not, create a table
					TableName: 'tblSpec',
					ProvisionedThroughput: {
						ReadCapacityUnits: 1,
						WriteCapacityUnits: 1
					},
					AttributeDefinitions: [{
						AttributeName: 'namespace',
						AttributeType: 'S'
					}, {
						AttributeName: 'key',
						AttributeType: 'S'
					}, {
						AttributeName: 'localIndexedAttr',
						AttributeType: 'S'
					}, {
						AttributeName: 'globalIndexedPartitionAttr',
						AttributeType: 'S'
					}, {
						AttributeName: 'globalIndexedSortAttr',
						AttributeType: 'S'
					}],
					KeySchema: [{
						AttributeName: 'namespace',
						KeyType: 'HASH'
					}, {
						AttributeName: 'key',
						KeyType: 'RANGE'
					}],
					LocalSecondaryIndexes: [{
						IndexName: 'localIndexedSpec',
						KeySchema: [{
							AttributeName: 'namespace',
							KeyType: 'HASH'
						}, {
							AttributeName: 'localIndexedAttr',
							KeyType: 'RANGE'
						}],
						Projection: {
							ProjectionType: 'ALL'
						}
					}],
					GlobalSecondaryIndexes: [{
						IndexName: 'globalIndexedSpec',
						KeySchema: [{
							AttributeName: 'globalIndexedPartitionAttr',
							KeyType: 'HASH'
						}, {
							AttributeName: 'globalIndexedSortAttr',
							KeyType: 'RANGE'
						}],
						Projection: {
							ProjectionType: 'ALL'
						},
						ProvisionedThroughput: {
							ReadCapacityUnits: 1,
							WriteCapacityUnits: 1
						}
					}]
				})),
				mergeMap(() => {
					return range(0, 10) // insert 10 items to the table
						.pipe(
							mergeMap(n => request.insert({
								namespace,
								key: `key-${n}`,
								message: `message-${n}`,
								localIndexedAttr: `local-indexed-${n}`,
								globalIndexedPartitionAttr: `global-indexed-${namespace}`,
								globalIndexedSortAttr: `global-indexed-${n}`,
							}, true))
				})
			)
			.subscribe(null, null, done);

CRUD

This lib follows with a Crud class helper, at this way you can extend your models with Crud. In order to start with it:

	import AWS from 'aws-sdk';
	import {
		Crud,
		DynamoDB
	} from 'rxjs-dynamodb-client';

	AWS.config.update({
		accessKeyId: 'yourAccessKeyId',
		secretAccessKey: 'yourSecretAccessKey',
		region: 'us-east-1'
	});
	
	// instance the lib
	const dynamoDb = new DynamoDB({
		client: new AWS.DynamoDB()
	});

	const crud = new Crud(tableName: string, schema: object, {
		dynamoDb	
	});

Helpers

DynamoDB has two main types of http errors: retryable and non-retryable. The most common type of retryable error is a throughput exception. To handle this, you can chain an Observable helper to handle them:
	
	// most simple way, if err.retryable, will retry once, you can configure this behavior like samples below:
	request.insert()
		.onRetryableError();

	// shorthand for max retries, will obey err.retryDelay returned by AWS
	request.insert()
		.onRetryableError(5);
	
	// config retries with a callback function
	request.insert()
		.onRetryableError((err, index) => ({
			delay: (err.retryDelay * 1000) * index, // will retry after n seconds with index factor
			max: 10,
			retryable: index >= 4 ? false : err.retryable // will retry 5x before throw (index starts with 0)
		}));
	
	// or with a plain object
	request.insert()
		.onRetryableError({
			return {
				max: 10, // will retry 10x before throw
				delay: 1000 // will retry after 1 second
			};
		});
