Instance Method Details

#attr(name, marshaler, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Define an attribute for your model, providing your own attribute type.

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    Name of this attribute. It should be a name that is safe to use as a method.

  • marshaler (Marshaler) —

    The marshaler for this attribute. So long as you provide a marshaler which implements #type_cast and #serialize that consume raw values as expected, you can bring your own marshaler type. Convenience methods will provide this for you.

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (opts):

  • :database_attribute_name (String) —

    Optional attribute used to specify a different name for database persistence than the ‘name` parameter. Must be unique (you can’t have overlap between database attribute names and the names of other attributes).

  • :dynamodb_type (String) —

    Generally used for keys and index attributes, one of “S”, “N”, “B”, “BOOL”, “SS”, “NS”, “BS”, “M”, “L”. Optional if this attribute will never be used for a key or secondary index, but most convenience methods for setting attributes will provide this.

  • :persist_nil (Boolean) —

    Optional attribute used to indicate whether nil values should be persisted. If true, explicitly set nil values will be saved to DynamoDB as a “null” type. If false, nil values will be ignored and not persisted. By default, is false.

  • :default_value (Object) —

    Optional attribute used to define a “default value” to be used if the attribute’s value on an item is nil or not set at persistence time.

  • :hash_key (Boolean) —

    Set to true if this attribute is the hash key for the table.

  • :range_key (Boolean) —

    Set to true if this attribute is the range key for the table.

#list_attr(name, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Define a list-type attribute for your model.

Lists do not have to be homogeneous, but they do have to be types that the AWS SDK for Ruby V2’s DynamoDB client knows how to marshal and unmarshal. Those types are:

  • Hash

  • Array

  • String

  • Numeric

  • Boolean

  • IO

  • Set

  • nil

Also note that, since lists are heterogeneous, you may lose some precision when marshaling and unmarshaling. For example, symbols will be stringified, but there is no way to return those strings to symbols when the object is read back from DynamoDB.

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    Name of this attribute. It should be a name that is safe to use as a method.

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (opts):

  • :hash_key (Boolean) —

    Set to true if this attribute is the hash key for the table.

  • :range_key (Boolean) —

    Set to true if this attribute is the range key for the table.

  • :default_value (Object) —

    Optional attribute used to define a “default value” to be used if the attribute’s value on an item is nil or not set at persistence time.

  attr(name, Marshalers::ListMarshaler.new(opts), opts)
end

#map_attr(name, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Define a map-type attribute for your model.

Maps do not have to be homogeneous, but they do have to use types that the AWS SDK for Ruby V2’s DynamoDB client knows how to marshal and unmarshal. Those types are:

  • Hash

  • Array

  • String

  • Numeric

  • Boolean

  • IO

  • Set

  • nil

Also note that, since maps are heterogeneous, you may lose some precision when marshaling and unmarshaling. For example, symbols will be stringified, but there is no way to return those strings to symbols when the object is read back from DynamoDB.

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    Name of this attribute. It should be a name that is safe to use as a method.

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (opts):

  • :hash_key (Boolean) —

    Set to true if this attribute is the hash key for the table.

  • :range_key (Boolean) —

    Set to true if this attribute is the range key for the table.

  • :default_value (Object) —

    Optional attribute used to define a “default value” to be used if the attribute’s value on an item is nil or not set at persistence time.

end

#numeric_set_attr(name, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Define a numeric set attribute for your model.

Numeric sets are homogeneous sets, containing only numbers. Note that empty sets cannot be persisted to DynamoDB. Empty sets are valid for aws-record items, but they will not be persisted as sets. nil values from your table, or a lack of value from your table, will be treated as an empty set for item instances. At persistence time, the marshaler will attempt to marshal any non-numerics within the set to be Numeric objects.

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    Name of this attribute. It should be a name that is safe to use as a method.

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (opts):

  • :hash_key (Boolean) —

    Set to true if this attribute is the hash key for the table.

  • :range_key (Boolean) —

    Set to true if this attribute is the range key for the table.

  • :default_value (Object) —

    Optional attribute used to define a “default value” to be used if the attribute’s value on an item is nil or not set at persistence time.

#string_attr(name, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Define a string-type attribute for your model.

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (opts):

  • :hash_key (Boolean) —

    Set to true if this attribute is the hash key for the table.

  • :range_key (Boolean) —

    Set to true if this attribute is the range key for the table.

  • :persist_nil (Boolean) —

    Optional attribute used to indicate whether nil values should be persisted. If true, explicitly set nil values will be saved to DynamoDB as a “null” type. If false, nil values will be ignored and not persisted. By default, is false.

end

#string_set_attr(name, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Define a string set attribute for your model.

String sets are homogeneous sets, containing only strings. Note that empty sets cannot be persisted to DynamoDB. Empty sets are valid for aws-record items, but they will not be persisted as sets. nil values from your table, or a lack of value from your table, will be treated as an empty set for item instances. At persistence time, the marshaler will attempt to marshal any non-strings within the set to be String objects.

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    Name of this attribute. It should be a name that is safe to use as a method.

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (opts):

  • :hash_key (Boolean) —

    Set to true if this attribute is the hash key for the table.

  • :range_key (Boolean) —

    Set to true if this attribute is the range key for the table.

  • :default_value (Object) —

    Optional attribute used to define a “default value” to be used if the attribute’s value on an item is nil or not set at persistence time.
