DynamoDB: Query Global Secondary Index in Nodejs (Guide w/ Code Examples)

Provided by Rafal Wilinski
To query a global secondary index using the AWS JavaScript SDK in a Node.js environment, you can use the query
operation.
const AWS = require('aws-sdk'); const dynamoDb = new AWS.DynamoDB(); const params = { TableName: 'myTable', IndexName: 'myIndex', KeyConditionExpression: '#key = :value', ExpressionAttributeNames: { '#key': 'myPartitionKey' }, ExpressionAttributeValues: { ':value': { S: 'myPartitionKey' } } }; dynamoDb.query(params, (err, data) => { if (err) { console.error('Error querying DynamoDB:', err); } else { console.log('Data from DynamoDB:', data); } });
This example queries a table named myTable
with a global secondary index named myIndex
. The KeyConditionExpression
parameter is used to specify the partition key and its value, and the ExpressionAttributeNames
and ExpressionAttributeValues
are used to specify the attribute name and value of the partition key.
