Array of Objects as type about dynogels HOT 5 CLOSED

The way to do this with Joi would be something like

Joi.object().keys({
    // other stuff
    markedLocations: Joi.array().items(
        Joi.object().keys({
            latitude: Joi.string(),
            longitude: Joi.string(),
            // etc
        })
    )
})

Note that DynamoDB does not store empty arrays or empty objects, so if you try to store markedLocations: [] and then fetch the same record, the attribute will be undefined and not an empty array.

+1 I have similar problem. How do we solve this? @clarkie any suggestions?

from dynogels.

And what if these markedLocations where in a different table?
Is there a way to tell dynogels that is expecting an object but to store only one of the attributes (i.e. the object's key)?

No. Dynogels is not an object-relational mapper.

Agreed
