I am writing a small lambda function to update a game
item in my DynamoDB. My game
item has a participants
attribute which is a list consisting of the participant_id
of each participant in the game. When a game doesn't have any participants yet (i.e. a round later in the bracket) the list will hold 2 null
values:
I would like to overwrite the null
values with a string each time I add a new participant. Currently I am able to append a new String to the list but the null
values remain:
How can I overwrite one of the 2 null values with a string using boto3?
(i.e. to where it looks like ["participantOneId", Null]
after adding one participant and ["participantOneId", "participantTwoId"]
after adding both participants)
This is my current implementation:
import boto3
import json
dynamodb = boto3.resource("dynamodb")
gamesTable = dynamodb.Table('games')
def lambda_handler(event, context):
# get "next_game_id" and "winner_id" from the event body
updated_next_game = gamesTable.update_item(
Key='id': next_game_id ,
UpdateExpression="SET participants = list_append(participants, :i)",
ExpressionAttributeValues=
':i': [winner_id],
,
ReturnValues="ALL_NEW"
)

If you don't need to append anything to the list, then you don't want to use list_append
. Something like this should work fine:
UpdateExpression="SET participants[0] = <whatever>"
and/or
UpdateExpression="SET participants[1] = <whatever>"
(If you won't know in advance which of the two elements you need to set, you can always use if_not_exists
.)
