DynamoDB Adapter
Describe the problem feature solves DynamoDB is growing a lot and there is already an orm like Dynamoose based on Mongoose, it would be a very good option to be able to use AdminJS with connection to this database as well.
Describe the solution you'd like Create an Adapter for DynamoDB
Describe alternatives you've considered The possibility of creating a Custom Adapter or improving the documentation of how to do it.
Acceptance criteria Generate admin interface with connection to Dynamo
You have an official adapter for TypeORM.
How feasible it is to build an adapter for typedorm, a TypeORM-inspired ORM?
Could you provide some high level guidelines or even some milestone tasks for building a custom AdminJS adapter?
@IFaniry there is a very high level guideline in the documentation https://docs.adminjs.co/tutorial-passing-resources.html
You can also follow our contributions guidelines 😉.
@matiasirpac I'm wondering what is the point of AdminJS for DynamoDB since there is a build in AWS admin panel for DynamDB entries editing?
The only answer I could find is a situation when user have to or more different databases and want to administer them from a single dashboard.
@krzysztofstudniarek Thank you for your quick response.
After going through the link you gave me, I feel that the dev requirements of what I am trying to do are clearer now.
However, I need further guidance on the contributing guideline part, particularly on the part where I somehow need to run the following hypothetical command and make an npm workspace:
git submodule add -b master [email protected]:IFaniry/adminjs-dynamodb.git packages/adminjs-dynamodb
I noted AdminJS Community Slack is a good place to chat about potential further developments.
To speak for @matiasirpac regarding your question, the AWS Admin panel for DynamoDB would do the job for a Developer Personal Project but for business co-workers who are not tech savvy, it would be inconvenient.
And so, a DynamoDB adapter for AdminJS opens business opportunities for Developers who can offer:
- Online transaction processing (OLTP),
- or even OnLine Analytical Processing (OLAP)
for Organizations at a cheap price because Serverless databases like DynamoDB are known to be highly cost-effective.
Thanks for the comment. This make a perfect sen e for me.
As for contributions, does this makes it a bit more clear?
Sorry for my late response.
Actually, I am asking you for further guidances on how to set up a new AdminJS package because I am new to yarn link and yarn workspaces.
Could you quote a part of your link that says how to set up a new package like @adminjs/dynamodb, please?
@IFaniry You won't be able to name it @adminjs/dynamodb because @adminjs/ is organization prefix, you should however be able to name it adminjs-dynamodb or something similar.
The key points of releasing a package is having name, main and types fields specified in your package.json.
We use https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release to automatically publish new versions.
DynamoDB can be used with
@adminjs/mongoose
its not closed, because there are errors while resource and database checks for adapters
