DynamoDB: Get Unique Values (Guide w/ Code Examples)

Provided by Rafal Wilinski
To retrieve unique values from a DynamoDB table using the JavaScript SDK, you can use the query
or scan
operations and set the Distinct
parameter to true
. This will return only the unique values for the specified attribute.
But the scan
operation does not support Distinct
parameter, instead, you can use the filterExpression
to filter the unique values.
var params = { TableName: "myTable", Distinct: true, KeyConditionExpression: "#product = :product", ExpressionAttributeNames: { "#product": "product" }, ExpressionAttributeValues: { ":product": "myProduct" } }; dynamodb.query(params, function(err, data) { if (err) { console.log(err); } else { console.log(data); } });
