A simple AWS DynamoDB viewer

Overview

It's a simple DynamoDB graphical client written on JavaFX.

This client allows easy viewing, editing, creating, and deleting of data.

The main idea of the client is to reach the required data in a few clicks without thinking a scan or query operation is required for that.

The client only requires properly configured settings for the AWS CLI tool. Read the official AWS CLI documentation if it is not configured yet. Or configure a new remote or local profile manually using the "Create a new profile" dialog.

Features

• No login required. The client uses AWS CLI profiles.
• Highlights profiles with unique colors
• Group tables by keywords
• Automatically detects when to use scan or query requests
• Supports pagination to view the data.
• Fast data filtering
• Highlighting values in the data table
• Context menu to close all/others tabs
• Open table in the AWS web console
• Edit or delete the selected records
• Import / Export data as json file
• Search (Ctrl+F) in the edit item dialog
• Compare two selected documents
• Light / Dark themes support
• Change region for the active profile
• Local DynamoDB support
• Shows information about local and global indexes
• Automatically uses indexes with projection type ALL

Supported filters

Examples are based on "hello world"

Filter name	Example
EQUALS	hello world
NOT_EQUALS	!=hello world
BEGINS_WITH	^hello
CONTAINS	~world
NOT_CONTAINS	!~something
EXISTS	$
NOT_EXISTS	!$

System requirements, building and running

At least Java 17 and maven to build and run the application.

Execute the next command to build

mvn clean package

A jar file with all dependencies will be created in the target/fatJar directory.

To run the application simply execute the command

java -jar target/fatJar/DynamoIt-<version>.jar 

To build a portable bundle

mvn clean package -Ppackage

dynamoit's Issues

Add the binary type support

The binary type, for now, is not supported

Saving document fails

Sometimes Edit dialog does not save the document if to switch to another tab(table).

Allow to use local DynamoDB

Create a dialog that allows configuring local database endpoint URL

Highlight tabs with different colors

Assign color each profile and use those to highlight tabs for each table.

Version of bundle for Mac is broken

@prayforbirdies reposted that mac release bundle does not run on seqouia macos

Open dynamodb table in the browser

Create a button or link to open dynamodb table in the browser

Validate a document before saving

Check that document has a valid JSON format and hash/range key

localstack connection

Hi,

would it be possible to support localstack? I need to specify an endpoint somehow and unfortunatley currently the profiles doesn't support giving an endpoint. aws/aws-cli#1270

I think if I can just enter credentials manually with an optional endpoint argument would be great

thanks

Open diff dialog on ctrl+enter press

If more than two rows are selected then allow to open diff dialog for the first selected two documents on ctrl+enter press

Search in the edit document dialog

Allow searching a string in the edit/create document dialog

Show error notification if file uploading has failed.

Create JSON file to upload with duplicates. Such file uploading will fail silently but should notify a user about the error.

Allow to delete selected rows on delete button press

"Search in" opens two tabs of the table

The first tab is filtered by the hash key and the second one by the selected attribute.

Expected to see just one tab of the table with a filter for the selected attribute.

Optimize "load from file"

• use batch request
• repeat operation for items that have not been saved.

A new way to switch between profiles

It's not usable enough to switch between profiles. There should be some better way how to do that.
The initial idea is to introduce a vertical toolbar with togglable buttons.

Sometimes not all columns displayed on first table open

Show dynamodb table information

Show dynamodb table overview information with the possibility to copy it into the clipboard.
