Insert DynamoDB Items With DynamoDBMapper

As we continue our series, once you've mapped your tables into Java objects, it's then time to insert them. Learn how to do that here.

In a previous post, we used DynamoDBMapper in order to map DynamoDB Tables into Java objects.

When it comes to insert, our actions are pretty much the same but with a more convenient way. In order to insert an item all you have to do is to persist an object using the object mapper

In our case, we will create a User repository that does a simple insert.

package com.gkatzioura.dynamodb.mapper.repository;

import com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.AmazonDynamoDB;
import com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.datamodeling.DynamoDBMapper;
import com.gkatzioura.dynamodb.mapper.entities.User;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;

/**

 */
public class UserMapperRepository {

    private DynamoDBMapper dynamoDBMapper;

    public UserMapperRepository(AmazonDynamoDB amazonDynamoDB) {
        dynamoDBMapper = new DynamoDBMapper(amazonDynamoDB);
    }

    public void insert(User user) {

        dynamoDBMapper.save(user);
    }

}

To persist, we just have to create a simple object.

    @Test
    public void testInsertUser() {

        User user = new User();
        user.setRegisterDate(new Date().getTime());
        user.setFullName("John Doe");
        user.setEmail("john@doe.com");

        userMapperRepository.insert(user);
    }

Also, using DynamoDBMapper, we can do batch inserts or batch deletes. Therefore we will add two extra methods to the repository.

    public void insert(List<User> users) {

        dynamoDBMapper.batchWrite(users,new ArrayList<>());
    }

    public void delete(List<User> users) {
        dynamoDBMapper.batchDelete(users);
    }

Adding items in batch (or deleting) them, simply requires to pass a list of objects that contains values for the keys defined.

    @Test
    public void testBatchUserInsert() {

        List<User> users = new ArrayList<>();

        for(int i=0;i<10;i++) {

            String email = emailPrefix+i+"@doe.com";
            User user = new User();
            user.setRegisterDate(new Date().getTime());
            user.setFullName("John Doe");
            user.setEmail("john@doe.com");
            users.add(user);
        }

        userMapperRepository.insert(users);
    }

    @Test
    public void testBatchDelete() {

        testBatchUserInsert();

        List<User> users = new ArrayList<>();

        for(int i=0;i<10;i++) {

            String email = emailPrefix+i+"@doe.com";
            User user = new User();
            user.setRegisterDate(new Date().getTime());
            user.setFullName("John Doe");
            user.setEmail("john@doe.com");
            users.add(user);
        }
        
        userMapperRepository.delete(users);
    }
