Class InstantAsStringAttributeConverter

java.lang.Object

software.amazon.awssdk.enhanced.dynamodb.internal.converter.attribute.InstantAsStringAttributeConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

AttributeConverter<Instant>

@ThreadSafe
@Immutable
public final class InstantAsStringAttributeConverter
extends Object
implements AttributeConverter<Instant>

A converter between Instant and AttributeValue.

This stores values in DynamoDB as a string.

Values are stored in ISO-8601 format, with nanosecond precision and a time zone of UTC.

Examples:

• Instant.EPOCH.plusSeconds(1) is stored as an AttributeValue with the String "1970-01-01T00:00:01Z"
• Instant.EPOCH.minusSeconds(1) is stored as an AttributeValue with the String "1969-12-31T23:59:59Z"
• Instant.EPOCH.plusMillis(1) is stored as an AttributeValue with the String "1970-01-01T00:00:00.001Z"
• Instant.EPOCH.minusMillis(1) is stored as an AttributeValue with the String "1969-12-31T23:59:59.999Z"
• Instant.EPOCH.plusNanos(1) is stored as an AttributeValue with the String "1970-01-01T00:00:00.000000001Z"
• Instant.EPOCH.minusNanos(1) is stored as an AttributeValue with the String "1969-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z"

See Instant for more details on the serialization format.

This converter can read any values written by itself, or values with zero offset written by OffsetDateTimeAsStringAttributeConverter, and values with zero offset and without time zone named written by ZoneOffsetAttributeConverter. Offset and zoned times will be automatically converted to the equivalent Instant.

This serialization is lexicographically orderable when the year is not negative.

This can be created via create().

Method Details

create

public static InstantAsStringAttributeConverter create()

type

public EnhancedType<Instant> type()

Description copied from interface: AttributeConverter

The type supported by this converter.

Specified by:

type in interface AttributeConverter<Instant>

attributeValueType

public AttributeValueType attributeValueType()

Description copied from interface: AttributeConverter

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

Specified by:

attributeValueType in interface AttributeConverter<Instant>

transformFrom

public AttributeValue transformFrom(Instant input)

Description copied from interface: AttributeConverter

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());
 
 

Specified by:

transformFrom in interface AttributeConverter<Instant>

transformTo

public Instant transformTo(AttributeValue input)

Description copied from interface: AttributeConverter

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);
 
 

Specified by:

transformTo in interface AttributeConverter<Instant>
