Laravel Dynamodb connection

Posted on By

Here’s a basic example of how to connect to DynamoDB and retrieve data using the AWS SDK for PHP in Laravel:

composer require aws/aws-sdk-php

In your Laravel application, create an AWS service client for DynamoDB:Install the AWS SDK for PHP via Composer by running the following command:

use Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient;

$client = new DynamoDbClient([
    'region' => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => '2012-08-10',
    'credentials' => [
        'key'    => 'YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
        'secret' => 'YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY',
    ],
]);

Use the client to retrieve data from your DynamoDB table:

use Aws\DynamoDb\Exception\DynamoDbException;

try {
    $result = $client->getItem([
        'TableName' => 'YOUR_TABLE_NAME',
        'Key' => [
            'KEY_NAME' => [
                'S' => 'KEY_VALUE',
            ],
        ],
    ]);
    print_r($result['Item']);
} catch (DynamoDbException $e) {
    echo "Unable to retrieve item:\n";
    echo $e->getMessage() . "\n";
}

This is just a basic example. You can refer to the official AWS SDK for PHP documentation for more information and options: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/sdk-for-php/v3/developer-guide/getting-started.html
