@ThreadSafe
public interface AttributeConverter<T>

Converts between a specific Java type and an AttributeValue.

Examples:

• The StringAttributeConverter converts a String into a DynamoDB string (AttributeValue.s()).
• The InstantAsStringAttributeConverter converts an Instant into a DynamoDB string (AttributeValue.s()).

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
AttributeValueType	attributeValueType()	The AttributeValueType that a converter stores and reads values from DynamoDB via the AttributeValue class.
AttributeValue	transformFrom(T input)	Convert the provided Java object into an AttributeValue.
T	transformTo(AttributeValue input)	Convert the provided AttributeValue into a Java object.
EnhancedType<T>	type()	The type supported by this converter.

Method Details

transformFrom

AttributeValue transformFrom(T input)

Convert the provided Java object into an AttributeValue. This will raise a RuntimeException if the conversion fails, or the input is null.

Example:

 
 InstantAsStringAttributeConverter converter = InstantAsStringAttributeConverter.create();
 assertEquals(converter.transformFrom(Instant.EPOCH),
              EnhancedAttributeValue.fromString("1970-01-01T00:00:00Z").toAttributeValue());
 
 

transformTo

T transformTo(AttributeValue input)

Convert the provided AttributeValue into a Java object. This will raise a RuntimeException if the conversion fails, or the input is null.

 Example:
 
 InstantAsStringAttributeConverter converter = InstantAsStringAttributeConverter.create();
 assertEquals(converter.transformTo(EnhancedAttributeValue.fromString("1970-01-01T00:00:00Z").toAttributeValue()),
              Instant.EPOCH);
 
 

type

EnhancedType<T> type()

The type supported by this converter.

attributeValueType

AttributeValueType attributeValueType()

The AttributeValueType that a converter stores and reads values from DynamoDB via the AttributeValue class.
