// Create cat model with default options
var Cat = dynamoose.model('Cat', { id: Number, name: String });

// Create a new cat object
var garfield = new Cat({id: 666, name: 'Garfield'});

// Save to DynamoDB
garfield.save();

// Lookup in DynamoDB
Cat.get(666)
.then(function (badCat) {
  console.log('Never trust a smiling cat. - ' + badCat.name);
});

Roadmap

Release 0.9

The goal of release 0.9 is to increase the parity with mongoose. The primary purpose will be to come up with a plugin system similar to that of mongoose although not necessarily compatible.

• Plugin system
• Model.find alias
• Complete .populate support

Release 1.0

The main goal of 1.0 will be to improve the code and refactor to ES2015 (ES6). In addition, useNativeBooleans and useDocumentTypes will be toggled to make uses of "newer" DynamoDB features by default.

• ES2015 updates
• Switch to ESLint
• Set useNativeBooleans and useDocumentTypes to default to true
