Jest preset to run DynamoDB Local

Usage

0. Install

$ yarn add @shelf/jest-dynamodb --dev

Make sure java runtime available for running DynamoDBLocal.jar

1. Create jest.config.js

module.exports = {
  preset: '@shelf/jest-dynamodb',
};

2. Create jest-dynamodb-config.js

2.1 Properties

tables
  • Type: object[]
  • Required: true

Array of createTable params.

port
  • Type: number
  • Required: false

Port number. The default port number is 8000.

hostname
  • Type: string
  • Required: false

Hostname. The default hostname is localhost.

options
  • Type: string[]
  • Required: false

Additional arguments for dynamodb-local. The default value is ['-sharedDb'].

clientConfig
  • Type: object
  • Required: false

Constructor params of DynamoDB client.

installerConfig
  • Type: {installPath?: string, downloadUrl?: string}

  • Required: false

  • installPath defines the location where dynamodb-local is installed or will be installed.

  • downloadUrl defines the url of dynamodb-local package.

The default value is defined at https://github.com/rynop/dynamodb-local/blob/2e6c1cb2edde4de0dc51a71c193c510b939d4352/index.js#L16-L19

2.2 Examples

You can set up tables as an object:

Whole list of config properties can be found here

/**
 * @type {import('@shelf/jest-dynamodb/lib').Config}')}
 */
const config = {
  tables: [
    {
      TableName: `files`,
      KeySchema: [{AttributeName: 'id', KeyType: 'HASH'}],
      AttributeDefinitions: [{AttributeName: 'id', AttributeType: 'S'}],
      ProvisionedThroughput: {ReadCapacityUnits: 1, WriteCapacityUnits: 1},
    },
    // etc
  ],
  port: 8000,
};
module.exports = config;

Or as an async function (particularly useful when resolving DynamoDB setup dynamically from serverless.yml):

module.exports = async () => {
  const serverless = new (require('serverless'))();
  // If using monorepo where DynamoDB serverless.yml is in another directory
  // const serverless = new (require('serverless'))({ servicePath: '../../../core/data' });

  await serverless.init();
  const service = await serverless.variables.populateService();
  const resources = service.resources.filter(r => Object.keys(r).includes('Resources'))[0];

  const tables = Object.keys(resources)
    .map(name => resources[name])
    .filter(r => r.Type === 'AWS::DynamoDB::Table')
    .map(r => r.Properties);

  return {
    tables,
    port: 8000,
  };
};

Or read table definitions from a CloudFormation template (example handles a !Sub on TableName, i.e. TableName: !Sub "${env}-users" ):

const yaml = require('js-yaml');
const fs = require('fs');
const {CLOUDFORMATION_SCHEMA} = require('cloudformation-js-yaml-schema');

module.exports = async () => {
  const cf = yaml.load(fs.readFileSync('../cf-templates/example-stack.yaml', 'utf8'), {
    schema: CLOUDFORMATION_SCHEMA,
  });
  var tables = [];
  Object.keys(cf.Resources).forEach(item => {
    tables.push(cf.Resources[item]);
  });

  tables = tables
    .filter(r => r.Type === 'AWS::DynamoDB::Table')
    .map(r => {
      let table = r.Properties;
      if (typeof r.TableName === 'object') {
        table.TableName = table.TableName.data.replace('${env}', 'test');
      }
      delete table.TimeToLiveSpecification; //errors on dynamo-local
      return table;
    });

  return {
    tables,
    port: 8000,
  };
};

3.1 Configure DynamoDB client (from aws-sdk v2)

const {DocumentClient} = require('aws-sdk/clients/dynamodb');

const isTest = process.env.JEST_WORKER_ID;
const config = {
  convertEmptyValues: true,
  ...(isTest && {
    endpoint: 'localhost:8000',
    sslEnabled: false,
    region: 'local-env',
    credentials: {
      accessKeyId: 'fakeMyKeyId',
      secretAccessKey: 'fakeSecretAccessKey',
    },
  }),
};

const ddb = new DocumentClient(config);

3.2 Configure DynamoDB client (from aws-sdk v3)

const {DynamoDB} = require('@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb');
const {DynamoDBDocument} = require('@aws-sdk/lib-dynamodb');

const isTest = process.env.JEST_WORKER_ID;

const ddb = DynamoDBDocument.from(
  new DynamoDB({
    ...(isTest && {
      endpoint: 'localhost:8000',
      sslEnabled: false,
      region: 'local-env',
      credentials: {
        accessKeyId: 'fakeMyKeyId',
        secretAccessKey: 'fakeSecretAccessKey',
      },
    }),
  }),
  {
    marshallOptions: {
      convertEmptyValues: true,
    },
  }
);

4. PROFIT! Write tests

it('should insert item into table', async () => {
  await ddb.put({TableName: 'files', Item: {id: '1', hello: 'world'}}).promise();

  const {Item} = await ddb.get({TableName: 'files', Key: {id: '1'}}).promise();

  expect(Item).toEqual({
    id: '1',
    hello: 'world',
  });
});

Monorepo Support

By default the jest-dynamodb-config.js is read from cwd directory, but this might not be suitable for monorepos with nested jest projects with nested jest.config.* files nested in subdirectories.

If your jest-dynamodb-config.js file is not located at {cwd}/jest-dynamodb-config.js or you are using nested jest projects, you can define the environment variable JEST_DYNAMODB_CONFIG with the absolute path of the respective jest-dynamodb-config.js file.

Example Using JEST_DYNAMODB_CONFIG in nested project

// src/nested/project/jest.config.js
const path = require('path');

// Define path of project level config - extension not required as file will be imported via `require(process.env.JEST_DYNAMODB_CONFIG)`
process.env.JEST_DYNAMODB_CONFIG = path.resolve(__dirname, './jest-dynamodb-config');

module.exports = {
  preset: '@shelf/jest-dynamodb'
  displayName: 'nested-project',
};

Troubleshooting

UnknownError: Not Found

Perhaps something is using your port specified in jest-dynamodb-config.js.

Alternatives

  • jest-dynalite - a much lighter version which spins up an instance for each runner & doesn't depend on Java
