Overview

Represents a DynamoDB item. An item is identified by simple or complex primary key (according to the table schema) and consists of a collection of attributes. Attributes are name/value pairs where the value may be a string, number, string set, or number set.

Getting an item by hash key value:

item = table.items['hash-key-value']

Getting an item from a table with both hash and range keys:

item = table.items['hash-key','range-key']

# File 'lib/aws/dynamo_db/item.rb', line 99

def attributes
  AttributeCollection.new(self)
end

#delete(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Deletes the item.

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Options for deleting the item.

Options Hash (options):

  • :if (Hash) —

    Designates a conditional delete. The operation will fail unless the item exists and has the attributes in the value for this option. For example:

    # throws DynamoDB::Errors::ConditionalCheckFailedException
# unless the item has "color" set to "red"
item.delete(:if => { :color => "red" })
  • :unless_exists (String, Symbol, Array) —

    A name or collection of attribute names; if the item has a value for any of these attributes, this method will raise DynamoDB::Errors::ConditionalCheckFailedException. For example:

    item.delete(:unless_exists => "version")
