All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, SdkPojo, ToCopyableBuilder<ExpectedAttributeValue.Builder,ExpectedAttributeValue>
@Generated("software.amazon.awssdk:codegen") public final class ExpectedAttributeValue extends Object implements SdkPojo, Serializable, ToCopyableBuilder<ExpectedAttributeValue.Builder,ExpectedAttributeValue>

Represents a condition to be compared with an attribute value. This condition can be used with DeleteItem, PutItem, or UpdateItem operations; if the comparison evaluates to true, the operation succeeds; if not, the operation fails. You can use ExpectedAttributeValue in one of two different ways:

  • Use AttributeValueList to specify one or more values to compare against an attribute. Use ComparisonOperator to specify how you want to perform the comparison. If the comparison evaluates to true, then the conditional operation succeeds.

  • Use Value to specify a value that DynamoDB will compare against an attribute. If the values match, then ExpectedAttributeValue evaluates to true and the conditional operation succeeds. Optionally, you can also set Exists to false, indicating that you do not expect to find the attribute value in the table. In this case, the conditional operation succeeds only if the comparison evaluates to false.

Value and Exists are incompatible with AttributeValueList and ComparisonOperator. Note that if you use both sets of parameters at once, DynamoDB will return a ValidationException exception.

      public final AttributeValue value()

      Represents the data for the expected attribute.

      Each attribute value is described as a name-value pair. The name is the data type, and the value is the data itself.

      For more information, see Data Types in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      Returns:

    • exists

      public final Boolean exists()

      Causes DynamoDB to evaluate the value before attempting a conditional operation:

      • If Exists is true, DynamoDB will check to see if that attribute value already exists in the table. If it is found, then the operation succeeds. If it is not found, the operation fails with a ConditionCheckFailedException.

      • If Exists is false, DynamoDB assumes that the attribute value does not exist in the table. If in fact the value does not exist, then the assumption is valid and the operation succeeds. If the value is found, despite the assumption that it does not exist, the operation fails with a ConditionCheckFailedException.

      The default setting for Exists is true. If you supply a Value all by itself, DynamoDB assumes the attribute exists: You don't have to set Exists to true, because it is implied.

      DynamoDB returns a ValidationException if:

      • Exists is true but there is no Value to check. (You expect a value to exist, but don't specify what that value is.)

      • Exists is false but you also provide a Value. (You cannot expect an attribute to have a value, while also expecting it not to exist.)

      Returns:

    • comparisonOperator

      public final ComparisonOperator comparisonOperator()

      A comparator for evaluating attributes in the AttributeValueList. For example, equals, greater than, less than, etc.

      The following comparison operators are available:

      EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT | NOT_NULL | NULL | CONTAINS | NOT_CONTAINS | BEGINS_WITH | IN | BETWEEN

      The following are descriptions of each comparison operator.

      • EQ : Equal. EQ is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

        AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

      • NE : Not equal. NE is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

        AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

      • LE : Less than or equal.

        AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

      • LT : Less than.

        AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

      • GE : Greater than or equal.

        AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

      • GT : Greater than.

        AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}.

      • NOT_NULL : The attribute exists. NOT_NULL is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

        This operator tests for the existence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute " a" is null, and you evaluate it using NOT_NULL, the result is a Boolean true. This result is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is not relevant to the NOT_NULL comparison operator.

      • NULL : The attribute does not exist. NULL is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.

        This operator tests for the nonexistence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute " a" is null, and you evaluate it using NULL, the result is a Boolean false. This is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is not relevant to the NULL comparison operator.

      • CONTAINS : Checks for a subsequence, or value in a set.

        AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is of type String, then the operator checks for a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is of type Binary, then the operator looks for a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set (" SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it finds an exact match with any member of the set.

        CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a CONTAINS b", "a " can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.

      • NOT_CONTAINS : Checks for absence of a subsequence, or absence of a value in a set.

        AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operator checks for the absence of a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is Binary, then the operator checks for the absence of a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it does not find an exact match with any member of the set.

        NOT_CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a NOT CONTAINS b", "a " can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.

      • BEGINS_WITH : Checks for a prefix.

        AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type). The target attribute of the comparison must be of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type).

      • IN : Checks for matching elements in a list.

        AttributeValueList can contain one or more AttributeValue elements of type String, Number, or Binary. These attributes are compared against an existing attribute of an item. If any elements of the input are equal to the item attribute, the expression evaluates to true.

      • BETWEEN : Greater than or equal to the first value, and less than or equal to the second value.

        AttributeValueList must contain two AttributeValue elements of the same type, either String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than, or equal to, the first element and less than, or equal to, the second element. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not compare to {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}

      If the service returns an enum value that is not available in the current SDK version, comparisonOperator will return ComparisonOperator.UNKNOWN_TO_SDK_VERSION. The raw value returned by the service is available from comparisonOperatorAsString().

      Returns:
      A comparator for evaluating attributes in the AttributeValueList. For example, equals, greater than, less than, etc.

        AttributeValueList can contain one or more AttributeValue elements of type String, Number, or Binary. These attributes are compared against an existing attribute of an item. If any elements of the input are equal to the item attribute, the expression evaluates to true.

      • BETWEEN : Greater than or equal to the first value, and less than or equal to the second value.

        AttributeValueList must contain two AttributeValue elements of the same type, either String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than, or equal to, the first element and less than, or equal to, the second element. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, {"S":"6"} does not compare to {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}

    • hasAttributeValueList

      public final boolean hasAttributeValueList()
      For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the AttributeValueList property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.

    • attributeValueList

      public final List<AttributeValue> attributeValueList()

      One or more values to evaluate against the supplied attribute. The number of values in the list depends on the ComparisonOperator being used.

      For type Number, value comparisons are numeric.

      String value comparisons for greater than, equals, or less than are based on ASCII character code values. For example, a is greater than A, and a is greater than B. For a list of code values, see http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters.

      For Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned when it compares binary values.

      For information on specifying data types in JSON, see JSON Data Format in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

      Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

      This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasAttributeValueList() method.

      Returns:
      One or more values to evaluate against the supplied attribute. The number of values in the list depends on the ComparisonOperator being used.

      For type Number, value comparisons are numeric.

      String value comparisons for greater than, equals, or less than are based on ASCII character code values. For example, a is greater than A, and a is greater than B. For a list of code values, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters.

      For Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned when it compares binary values.

    • toBuilder

      public ExpectedAttributeValue.Builder toBuilder()
      Description copied from interface: ToCopyableBuilder
      Take this object and create a builder that contains all of the current property values of this object.
      Specified by:
      toBuilder in interface ToCopyableBuilder<ExpectedAttributeValue.Builder,ExpectedAttributeValue>
      Returns:
      a builder for type T

    • builder

      public static ExpectedAttributeValue.Builder builder()

    • serializableBuilderClass

      public static Class<? extends ExpectedAttributeValue.Builder> serializableBuilderClass()

    • hashCode

      public final int hashCode()
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object

    • equals

      public final boolean equals(Object obj)
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object

    • equalsBySdkFields

      public final boolean equalsBySdkFields(Object obj)
      Description copied from interface: SdkPojo
      Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one by SDK fields. An SDK field is a modeled, non-inherited field in an SdkPojo class, and is generated based on a service model.

      If an SdkPojo class does not have any inherited fields, equalsBySdkFields and equals are essentially the same.

      Specified by:
      equalsBySdkFields in interface SdkPojo
      Parameters:
      obj - the object to be compared with
      Returns:
      true if the other object equals to this object by sdk fields, false otherwise.

    • toString

      public final String toString()
      Returns a string representation of this object. This is useful for testing and debugging. Sensitive data will be redacted from this string using a placeholder value.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object

    • getValueForField

      public final <T> Optional<T> getValueForField(String fieldName, Class<T> clazz)

    • sdkFields

      public final List<SdkField<?>> sdkFields()
      Specified by:
      sdkFields in interface SdkPojo
      Returns:
      List of SdkField in this POJO. May be empty list but should never be null.
