Local DynamoDB: How to view contents of a table?

Question

For listing all tables in a locally-installed instance of DynamoDB, I know that the command is:

aws dynamodb list-tables --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000

Now, I want to view the contents of one of the tables. What is the command to do that?

Answer 1

Go to "http://localhost:8000/shell/" and execute the below script. Please change the table name as per your requirement.

When you run the local DynamoDB the above URL should be up and running.

var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB({ region: 'us-east-1', endpoint: "http://localhost:8000" }); var tableName = "TESTTABLE";  var params = { TableName: tableName, Select: "ALL_ATTRIBUTES" };   function doScan(response) { if (response.error) ppJson(response.error); // an error occurred else {     ppJson(response.data); // successful response      // More data.  Keep calling scan.     if ('LastEvaluatedKey' in response.data) {         response.request.params.ExclusiveStartKey = response.data.LastEvaluatedKey;         dynamodb.scan(response.request.params)             .on('complete', doScan)             .send();     } } } console.log("Starting a Scan of the table"); dynamodb.scan(params) .on('complete', doScan) .send();
