Amazon DAX Client for JavaScript
DAX is a DynamoDB-compatible caching service that enables you to benefit from fast in-memory performance for demanding applications.
This client library provides access from NodeJS to DAX.
sh
npm install amazon-dax-client
`Usage and Getting Started
You can follow the Getting Started tutorial at:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/DAX.client.sample-app.html
To quickly use DAX, replace
AWS.DynamoDB with AmazonDaxClient:`javascript
const AmazonDaxClient = require('amazon-dax-client');// Replace this ...
const ddb = new AWS.DynamoDB({region: region});
/// with this ...
const endpoint = "your-cluster-discovery-endpoint";
const dax = new AmazonDaxClient({endpoints: [endpoint], region: region});
// If using AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient ...
const doc = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient({service: dax});
`The DAX Cluster Discovery Endpoint can be found the AWS console or by using
aws dax describe-clusters from the command line.Creating a connection to your DAX cluster requires using the Cluster Discovery Endpoint URL returned in the DescribeClusters response as the endpoint.
For example:
`javascript
// Format: const endpoint = ;
const endpoint = 'dax://my-cluster.abc123.dax-clusters.us-east-1.amazonaws.com';
