I have a dynamoDB table that has an Item that includes a user and a List of plans. It looks like this:
Item:
{
user: 'abc123',
plans: [
{
id: 1,
name: 'movies',
category: 'category',
price: 200,
},
{
id: 2,
name: 'fishing',
category: 'category2',
price: 400,
}
]
}
Now, I want to add another plan. So I wrote the handler below. And there is an error add error ValidationException: Invalid UpdateExpression: An expression attribute value used in expression is not defined; attribute value: :price
in CloudWatch.
export const processAddPlan = async (event:APIGatewayEvent) => {
const data = JSON.parse(event.body)
const { store, id } = event.queryStringParameters
const params = {
TableName: usersTable,
Key: {
store: store,
id: id,
},
UpdateExpression: 'ADD #pl :plans, id :id, name :name, category :category, price :price',
ExpressionAttributeNames: {
'#pl' : 'plans',
},
ExpressionAttributeValues: {
':plans': [
{
':id': uuid.v4(),
':name': data.planName,
':category': data.planCategory,
':price': data.planPrice,
},
],
},
ReturnValues: 'ALL_NEW',
}
log.info('params', params)
await dynamoDb.update(params).catch(e => log.info('add error', e))
return success('add plan succeeded')
}
I set query params and I tested(send) by postman like this.
{
"plans":[
{"planName":"ga",
"planCategory": "tt",
"planPrice": 567
}
]
}
I referred "Adding Elements to a Set".https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/Expressions.UpdateExpressions.html
Just provide one value. Something like this (untested code):
const params = {
TableName: usersTable,
Key: {
store: store,
id: id,
},
UpdateExpression: 'ADD #pl :plans',
ExpressionAttributeNames: {
'#pl' : 'plans',
},
ExpressionAttributeValues: {
':plans': [
{
'id': uuid.v4(),
'name': data.planName,
'category': data.planCategory,
'price': data.planPrice,
}
]
},
