Utility functions

A collection of functions to help take care of boilerplate, mainly when working in Lambda.

Functions

• parseJson A wrapper around JSON.parse that gracefully returns undefined if the input can't be parsed. This is useful for parsing things like HTTP/API request messages and SQS bodies without needing to add a try/catch every time.

DynamoDB

• A set of common CRUD/list operations that help you focus on what you're trying to achieve by taking away a bunch of boilerplate work, e.g. getItem, putItem, deleteItem, findItems and equivalent functions that use an index.
