ElectroDB is a DynamoDB library to ease the use of having multiple entities and complex hierarchical relationships in a single DynamoDB table.
Please submit issues/feedback or reach out on Twitter @tinkertamper.
ElectroDB's new website for Documentation is now live at www.ElectroDB.dev.

- Single-Table Entity Isolation - Entities created with ElectroDB will not conflict with other entities when using a single DynamoDB table.
- Attribute Schema Enforcement - Define a schema for your entities with enforced attribute validation, defaults, types, aliases, and more.
- Easily Compose Hierarchical Access Patterns - Plan and design hierarchical keys for your indexes to multiply your possible access patterns.
- Simplified Sort Key Condition Querying - Write efficient sort key queries by easily building compose keys.
- Simplified Filter Composition - Easily create complex readable filters for DynamoDB queries without worrying about the implementation of
ExpressionAttributeNames,ExpressionAttributeValues, andFilterExpressions. - Simplified Condition Composition - Use the same interface to casily create complex readable mutation conditions for DynamoDB queries without worrying about the implementation of
ExpressionAttributeNames,ExpressionAttributeValues, andConditionExpressions. - Simplified Update Expression Composition - Easily compose type safe update operations without having to format tedious
ExpressionAttributeNames,ExpressionAttributeValues, andUpdateExpressions. - Easily Query Across Entities - Define "collections" to create powerful/idiomatic queries that return multiple entities in a single request.
- Automatic Index Selection - Use
.find()or.match()methods to dynamically and efficiently query based on defined sort key structures. - Simplified Pagination API - ElectroDB generates url safe cursors for pagination, allows for fine grain automated pagination, and supports async iteration.
- TypeScript Support - Strong TypeScript support for both Entities and Services now in Beta.
- Query Directly via the Terminal - Execute queries against your
Entities,Services,Modelsdirectly from the command line. - Stand Up Rest Server for Entities - Stand up a REST Server to interact with your
Entities,Services,Modelsfor easier prototyping. - Use with your existing tables - ElectroDB simplifies building DocumentClient parameters, so you can use it with existing tables/data.
