A simple module to import JSON files into DynamoDB. Works at the CLI or as an imported module.
CLI Usage
Call dynamodb-import at the command or the module directly with npx dynamodb-import
Required Args
- --jsonFile - Path to the JSON file to load data from. Should contain a list of objects. Can be any size
- --tableName - Name of the DynamoDB table to import into
- --regionName - Name of the AWS region to use
Optional
