Overview ¶
Package dynamodbattribute provides marshaling and unmarshaling utilities to convert between Go types and dynamodb.AttributeValues.
These utilities allow you to marshal slices, maps, structs, and scalar values to and from dynamodb.AttributeValue. These are useful when marshaling Go value tyes to dynamodb.AttributeValue for DynamoDB requests, or unmarshaling the dynamodb.AttributeValue back into a Go value type.
AttributeValue Marshaling ¶
To marshal a Go type to a dynamodbAttributeValue you can use the Marshal functions in the dynamodbattribute package. There are specialized versions of these functions for collections of Attributevalue, such as maps and lists.
The following example uses MarshalMap to convert the Record Go type to a dynamodb.AttributeValue type and use the value to make a PutItem API request.
type Record struct { ID string URLs []string } //... r := Record{ ID: "ABC123", URLs: []string{ "https://example.com/first/link", "https://example.com/second/url", }, } av, err := dynamodbattribute.MarshalMap(r) if err != nil { panic(fmt.Sprintf("failed to DynamoDB marshal Record, %v", err)) } _, err = svc.PutItem(&dynamodb.PutItemInput{ TableName: aws.String(myTableName), Item: av, }) if err != nil { panic(fmt.Sprintf("failed to put Record to DynamoDB, %v", err)) }
AttributeValue Unmarshaling ¶
To unmarshal a dynamodb.AttributeValue to a Go type you can use the Unmarshal functions in the dynamodbattribute package. There are specialized versions of these functions for collections of Attributevalue, such as maps and lists.
The following example will unmarshal the DynamoDB's Scan API operation. The Items returned by the operation will be unmarshaled into the slice of Records Go type.
type Record struct { ID string URLs []string } //... var records []Record // Use the ScanPages method to perform the scan with pagination. Use // just Scan method to make the API call without pagination. err := svc.ScanPages(&dynamodb.ScanInput{ TableName: aws.String(myTableName), }, func(page *dynamodb.ScanOutput, last bool) bool { recs := []Record{} err := dynamodbattribute.UnmarshalListOfMaps(page.Items, &recs) if err != nil { panic(fmt.Sprintf("failed to unmarshal Dynamodb Scan Items, %v", err)) } records = append(records, recs...) return true // keep paging })
The ConvertTo, ConvertToList, ConvertToMap, ConvertFrom, ConvertFromMap and ConvertFromList methods have been deprecated. The Marshal and Unmarshal functions should be used instead. The ConvertTo|From marshallers do not support BinarySet, NumberSet, nor StringSets, and will incorrect marshal binary data fields in structs as base64 strings.
The Marshal and Unmarshal functions correct this behavior, and removes the reliance on encoding.json. `json` struct tags are still supported. In addition support for a new struct tag `dynamodbav` was added. Support for the json.Marshaler and json.Unmarshaler interfaces have been removed and replaced with have been replaced with dynamodbattribute.Marshaler and dynamodbattribute.Unmarshaler interfaces.
`time.Time` is marshaled as `time.RFC3339Nano` format.

Functions ¶
func Marshal ¶
func Marshal(in interface{}) (*dynamodb.AttributeValue, error)
Marshal will serialize the passed in Go value type into a DynamoDB AttributeValue type. This value can be used in DynamoDB API operations to simplify marshaling your Go value types into AttributeValues.
Marshal will recursively transverse the passed in value marshaling its contents into a AttributeValue. Marshal supports basic scalars (int,uint,float,bool,string), maps, slices, and structs. Anonymous nested types are flattened based on Go anonymous type visibility.
Marshaling slices to AttributeValue will default to a List for all types except for []byte and [][]byte. []byte will be marshaled as Binary data (B), and [][]byte will be marshaled as binary data set (BS).
`dynamodbav` struct tag can be used to control how the value will be marshaled into a AttributeValue.
// Field is ignored Field int `dynamodbav:"-"` // Field AttributeValue map key "myName" Field int `dynamodbav:"myName"` // Field AttributeValue map key "myName", and // Field is omitted if it is empty Field int `dynamodbav:"myName,omitempty"` // Field AttributeValue map key "Field", and // Field is omitted if it is empty Field int `dynamodbav:",omitempty"` // Field's elems will be omitted if empty // only valid for slices, and maps. Field []string `dynamodbav:",omitemptyelem"` // Field will be marshaled as a AttributeValue string // only value for number types, (int,uint,float) Field int `dynamodbav:",string"` // Field will be marshaled as a binary set Field [][]byte `dynamodbav:",binaryset"` // Field will be marshaled as a number set Field []int `dynamodbav:",numberset"` // Field will be marshaled as a string set Field []string `dynamodbav:",stringset"` // Field will be marshaled as Unix time number in seconds. // This tag is only valid with time.Time typed struct fields. // Important to note that zero value time as unixtime is not 0 seconds // from January 1, 1970 UTC, but -62135596800. Which is seconds between // January 1, 0001 UTC, and January 1, 0001 UTC. Field time.Time `dynamodbav:",unixtime"`
The omitempty tag is only used during Marshaling and is ignored for Unmarshal. Any zero value or a value when marshaled results in a AttributeValue NULL will be added to AttributeValue Maps during struct marshal. The omitemptyelem tag works the same as omitempty except it applies to maps and slices instead of struct fields, and will not be included in the marshaled AttributeValue Map, List, or Set.
For convenience and backwards compatibility with ConvertTo functions json struct tags are supported by the Marshal and Unmarshal. If both json and dynamodbav struct tags are provided the json tag will be ignored in favor of dynamodbav.
All struct fields and with anonymous fields, are marshaled unless the any of the following conditions are meet.
- the field is not exported
- json or dynamodbav field tag is "-"
- json or dynamodbav field tag specifies "omitempty", and is empty.
Pointer and interfaces values encode as the value pointed to or contained in the interface. A nil value encodes as the AttributeValue NULL value.
Channel, complex, and function values are not encoded and will be skipped when walking the value to be marshaled.
When marshaling any error that occurs will halt the marshal and return the error.
Marshal cannot represent cyclic data structures and will not handle them. Passing cyclic structures to Marshal will result in an infinite recursion.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/dynamodb/dynamodbattribute" ) func main() { type Record struct { Bytes []byte MyField string Letters []string Numbers []int } r := Record{ Bytes: []byte{48, 49}, MyField: "MyFieldValue", Letters: []string{"a", "b", "c", "d"}, Numbers: []int{1, 2, 3}, } av, err := dynamodbattribute.Marshal(r) fmt.Println("err", err) fmt.Println("Bytes", av.M["Bytes"]) fmt.Println("MyField", av.M["MyField"]) fmt.Println("Letters", av.M["Letters"]) fmt.Println("Numbers", av.M["Numbers"]) }
Output: err <nil> Bytes { B: <binary> len 2 } MyField { S: "MyFieldValue" } Letters { L: [ { S: "a" }, { S: "b" }, { S: "c" }, { S: "d" } ] } Numbers { L: [{ N: "1" },{ N: "2" },{ N: "3" }] }
func MarshalList ¶
func MarshalList(in interface{}) ([]dynamodb.AttributeValue, error)
MarshalList is an alias for Marshal func which marshals Go value type to a slice of AttributeValues.
func MarshalMap ¶
func MarshalMap(in interface{}) (map[string]dynamodb.AttributeValue, error)
MarshalMap is an alias for Marshal func which marshals Go value type to a map of AttributeValues.
This is useful for DynamoDB APIs such as PutItem.
func Unmarshal ¶
func Unmarshal(av *dynamodb.AttributeValue, out interface{}) error
Unmarshal will unmarshal DynamoDB AttributeValues to Go value types. Both generic interface{} and concrete types are valid unmarshal destination types.
Unmarshal will allocate maps, slices, and pointers as needed to unmarshal the AttributeValue into the provided type value.
When unmarshaling AttributeValues into structs Unmarshal matches the field names of the struct to the AttributeValue Map keys. Initially it will look for exact field name matching, but will fall back to case insensitive if not exact match is found.
With the exception of omitempty, omitemptyelem, binaryset, numberset and stringset all struct tags used by Marshal are also used by Unmarshal.
When decoding AttributeValues to interfaces Unmarshal will use the following types.
[]byte, AV Binary (B) [][]byte, AV Binary Set (BS) bool, AV Boolean (BOOL) []interface{}, AV List (L) map[string]interface{}, AV Map (M) float64, AV Number (N) Number, AV Number (N) with UseNumber set []float64, AV Number Set (NS) []Number, AV Number Set (NS) with UseNumber set string, AV String (S) []string, AV String Set (SS)
If the Decoder option, UseNumber is set numbers will be unmarshaled as Number values instead of float64. Use this to maintain the original string formating of the number as it was represented in the AttributeValue. In addition provides additional opportunities to parse the number string based on individual use cases.
When unmarshaling any error that occurs will halt the unmarshal and return the error.
The output value provided must be a non-nil pointer
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "reflect" "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/aws" "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/dynamodb" "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/dynamodb/dynamodbattribute" ) func main() { type Record struct { Bytes []byte MyField string Letters []string A2Num map[string]int } expect := Record{ Bytes: []byte{48, 49}, MyField: "MyFieldValue", Letters: []string{"a", "b", "c", "d"}, A2Num: map[string]int{"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}, } av := &dynamodb.AttributeValue{ M: map[string]dynamodb.AttributeValue{ "Bytes": {B: []byte{48, 49}}, "MyField": {S: aws.String("MyFieldValue")}, "Letters": {L: []dynamodb.AttributeValue{ {S: aws.String("a")}, {S: aws.String("b")}, {S: aws.String("c")}, {S: aws.String("d")}, }}, "A2Num": {M: map[string]dynamodb.AttributeValue{ "a": {N: aws.String("1")}, "b": {N: aws.String("2")}, "c": {N: aws.String("3")}, }}, }, } actual := Record{} err := dynamodbattribute.Unmarshal(av, &actual) fmt.Println(err, reflect.DeepEqual(expect, actual)) }

type Marshaler ¶
type Marshaler interface {
MarshalDynamoDBAttributeValue(*dynamodb.AttributeValue) error
}
A Marshaler is an interface to provide custom marshaling of Go value types to AttributeValues. Use this to provide custom logic determining how a Go Value type should be marshaled.
type ExampleMarshaler struct { Value int } func (m *ExampleMarshaler) MarshalDynamoDBAttributeValue(av *dynamodb.AttributeValue) error { n := fmt.Sprintf("%v", m.Value) av.N = &n return nil }
type Number ¶

type UnixTime ¶
An UnixTime provides aliasing of time.Time into a type that when marshaled and unmarshaled with DynamoDB AttributeValues it will be done so as number instead of string in seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC.
This type is useful as an alternative to the struct tag `unixtime` when you want to have your time value marshaled as Unix time in seconds into a number attribute type instead of the default time.RFC3339Nano.
Important to note that zero value time as unixtime is not 0 seconds from January 1, 1970 UTC, but -62135596800. Which is seconds between January 1, 0001 UTC, and January 1, 0001 UTC.
Also, important to note: the default UnixTime implementation of the Marshaler interface will marshal into an attribute of type of number; therefore, it may not be used as a sort key if the attribute value is of type string. Further, the time.RFC3339Nano format removes trailing zeros from the seconds field and thus may not sort correctly once formatted.
func (UnixTime) MarshalDynamoDBAttributeValue ¶
