Class ChainExtension

java.lang.Object

software.amazon.awssdk.enhanced.dynamodb.internal.extensions.ChainExtension

All Implemented Interfaces:

DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension

public final class ChainExtension
extends Object
implements DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension

A meta-extension that allows multiple extensions to be chained in a specified order to act as a single composite extension. The order in which extensions will be used depends on the operation, for write operations they will be called in forward order, for read operations they will be called in reverse order. For example :-

If you create a chain of three extensions: ChainMapperExtension.create(extension1, extension2, extension3);

When performing any kind of write operation (eg: PutItem, UpdateItem) the beforeWrite() method will be called in forward order: extension1 -> extension2 -> extension3

So the output of extension1 will be passed into extension2, and then the output of extension2 into extension3 and so on. For operations that read (eg: GetItem, UpdateItem) the afterRead() method will be called in reverse order: extension3 -> extension2 -> extension1

This is designed to create a layered pattern when dealing with multiple extensions. One thing to note is that UpdateItem acts as both a write operation and a read operation so the chain will be called both ways within a single operation.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
ReadModification	afterRead(DynamoDbExtensionContext.AfterRead context)	Implementation of the DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension interface that will call all the chained extensions in reverse order, passing the results of each one to the next and coalescing the results into a single modification.
WriteModification	beforeWrite(DynamoDbExtensionContext.BeforeWrite context)	Implementation of the DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension interface that will call all the chained extensions in forward order, passing the results of each one to the next and coalescing the results into a single modification.
static ChainExtension	create(List<DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension> extensions)	Construct a new instance of ChainExtension.
static ChainExtension	create(DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension... extensions)	Construct a new instance of ChainExtension.

Method Details

create

public static ChainExtension create(DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension... extensions)

Construct a new instance of ChainExtension.

Parameters:

extensions - A list of DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension to chain together.

Returns:

A constructed ChainExtension object.

create

public static ChainExtension create(List<DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension> extensions)

Construct a new instance of ChainExtension.

Parameters:

extensions - A list of DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension to chain together.

Returns:

A constructed ChainExtension object.

beforeWrite

public WriteModification beforeWrite(DynamoDbExtensionContext.BeforeWrite context)

Implementation of the DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension interface that will call all the chained extensions in forward order, passing the results of each one to the next and coalescing the results into a single modification. Multiple conditional statements will be separated by the string " AND ". Expression values will be coalesced unless they conflict in which case an exception will be thrown. UpdateExpressions will be coalesced.

Specified by:

beforeWrite in interface DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension

Parameters:

context - A DynamoDbExtensionContext.BeforeWrite context

Returns:

A single WriteModification representing the coalesced results of all the chained extensions.

afterRead

public ReadModification afterRead(DynamoDbExtensionContext.AfterRead context)

Implementation of the DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension interface that will call all the chained extensions in reverse order, passing the results of each one to the next and coalescing the results into a single modification.

Specified by:

afterRead in interface DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension

Parameters:

context - A DynamoDbExtensionContext.AfterRead context

Returns:

A single ReadModification representing the final transformation of all the chained extensions.
