How to insert a record in DynamoDB stored in a json file using CLI

Question

Can someone help me with the command to insert a record stored in a json file?

Answer 1

The command is the same as that you use normally, all you need to do is replace the data to the file location. Its better to navigate to the location where your json file is.

C:\Users\priyj_kumar\Desktop>aws dynamodb put-item --table-name YourTableName --item file://filename.json --return-consumed-capacity TOTAL

The output that you will receive is as follows:-

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

Hope this helps.
