DynamoDB: Get Query (Guide w/ Code Examples)

Provided by Rafal Wilinski
To query a table in Amazon DynamoDB using the JavaScript SDK, you can use the query
method on the DynamoDB DocumentClient
. The query method takes an object that specifies the parameters of the query.
const AWS = require('aws-sdk'); const dynamoDb = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient(); const params = { TableName: 'myTable', KeyConditionExpression: '#key = :value', ExpressionAttributeNames: { '#key': 'key', }, ExpressionAttributeValues: { ':value': 'value', }, }; dynamoDb.query(params, (err, data) => { if (err) { console.error('Error:', err); } else { console.log('Data:', data); } });
It is important to note that the query method will only return items with the specified primary key value, and the primary key must be specified in the KeyConditionExpression
parameter.
