How to insert a record in DynamoDB Table using AWS CLI

Question

Can anyone help me with the command to insert a record into a table in DynamoDB using AWS CLI?

Answer 1

Here is the table that I have created and will insert an item to that.

https://www.edureka.co/community/39042/how-to-create-a-dynamodb-using-aws-cli

C:\Users\priyj_kumar\Desktop>aws dynamodb put-item --table-name EmployeeDetail --item "{""EmpID"":{""S"":""ED1""},""PhoneNo"":{""S"":""12344""}}" --return-consumed-capacity TOTAL

You must escape the double quotes else it won't work. This will give an output like this.

{
    "ConsumedCapacity": {
        "TableName": "EmployeeDetail",
        "CapacityUnits": 1.0
    }
}

Hope this helps.
