This is a thin wrapper of the AWS DynamoDB Local. You can start the DynamoDB Local within a Node.js program and easily specify where the database files should be.

Release notes can be found at http://aws.amazon.com/releasenotes/SDK/JavaScript

Installing

npm install local-dynamo

Usage

From command line:

$ node bin/launch_local_dynamo.js --database_dir=/database/dir --port=4567

or inside a Node.js application:

localDynamo = require('local-dynamo')
localDynamo.launch('/database/dir', 4567)

If you want to run DynamoDB Local in memory, pass in null:

localDynamo = require('local-dynamo')
localDynamo.launch(null, 4567)

Configuration

launch allows for additional options

localDynamo = require('local-dynamo')
localDynamo.launch({
  port: 4567,
  sharedDb: true,
  heap: '512m'
})
