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.

Installing

The Amazon DAX client only runs from NodeJS, and can be installed using npm:

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:

const AmazonDaxClient = require('amazon-dax-client');

// Replace this ...
var ddb = new AWS.DynamoDB({region: region});
/// with this ...
var dax = new AmazonDaxClient({endpoints: [endpoint], region: region});

// If using AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient ...
var doc = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient({service: dax});

The DAX endpoint can be found the AWS console or by using aws dax describe-clusters from the command line.
