Is this module maintained?

Question

Is this module maintained?

Opened this issue 8 years ago · 17 comments

I know this is very subjective but I'm concerned that @ryanfitz hasn't made any movement on some of the PRs & issues for 4 months (ish). Some options:

Fork, patch and move on
Add some more maintainers to this repo + npm

I'm happy to volunteer to help although my experience using this module is about 3-4 weeks and very limited. I wondered if there would be any other offers of help?

This isn't a dig, whine, etc that is common place in the JS community these days but an observation and hopefully a start to give @ryanfitz some help looking after this. I'd like to see vogels move forward as it's by far the best abstraction over dynamodb I have come across.

I would be willing to volunteer as well

Answer 2 · 2016-05-27T19:14:06.000Z

volunteer also

Answer 3 · 2016-05-27T19:22:01.000Z

Cool, that's 3 of us. How do we do this then? @ryanfitz - any suggestions?

Answer 4 · 2016-06-01T20:31:26.000Z

It looks like I am going to be using this library. Id also volunteer to work on it. @ryanfitz can we get your input on a strategy for moving forward?

Answer 5 · 2016-06-01T20:57:10.000Z

I am interested in using this lib as well - I'll hang tight for a bit for @ryanfitz to offer feedback ^

This looks farther along?

@tony-gutierrez Seems to be missing quite a bit
No table.update https://github.com/automategreen/dynamoose/blob/master/lib/Table.js#L327
And it looks like there is only ability to add indexes when the table is created.

Also using Q which is Ok but using bluebird js would be better.

The documentation and examples also seem to be a bit less than what vogels has.

True enough. Don't want to hijack this thread.

Answer 9 · 2016-06-03T17:04:28.000Z

I'm interested in seeing this project live on as well. Being that we are going on a month with no response from @ryanfitz on this issue should we start taking the fork approach?

Answer 10 · 2016-06-06T16:59:44.000Z

I haven't had any response since I updated #141 back in Feb, FYI.

Answer 11 · 2016-06-14T19:19:27.000Z

I would be willing to help as well as my company would like to use this as well....

Answer 12 · 2016-06-26T11:16:20.000Z

Right, I've probably set myself up for a whole world of pain but I've forked but not in a fork:

https://github.com/clarkie/dynogels
https://www.npmjs.com/package/dynogels

I'm going to try and be as active over there as I possibly can but will definitely need some help so please chip in.

All credit will obviously still go to @ryanfitz for his efforts on getting vogels off the ground.

Thanks

Answer 13 · 2016-08-09T01:19:21.000Z

I sent a tweet to @ryanfitz, hopefully we will hear a response.

Answer 14 · 2016-08-26T00:22:31.000Z

Any news? This library seems to be the best one, dont let it die.

Answer 15 · 2017-01-10T15:37:18.000Z

Still no reply from @ryanfitz ? Maybe he's retired already. We should support @clarkie for his clone and move it forward.

Answer 16 · 2017-01-10T22:31:52.000Z

Yes, @ngocketit . You should use https://github.com/clarkie/dynogels. Its very nice and up to date.

Answer 17 · 2017-02-27T22:44:04.000Z

@clarkie This might be a good opportunity to create an organization and transfer the project to that in order to help better maintain it going forward.
