From this
use std::collections::HashMap;
use rusoto_dynamodb::AttributeValue;
use uuid::Uuid;
let mut item = HashMap.new();
item.insert(
"pk".to_string(), AttributeValue {
s: Some(Uuid::new_v4().to_hyphenated().to_string()),
..AttributeValue::default()
}
);
item.insert(
// 🤬typos anyone?
"quanity".to_string(), AttributeValue {
n: Some("whoops".to_string()),
..AttributeValue::default()
}
);
To this
use dynomite::Item;
use uuid::Uuid;
#[derive(Item)]
struct Order {
#[dynomite(partition_key)]
pk: Uuid,
quantity: u16
}
let item = Order {
pk: Uuid::new_v4(),
quantity: 4
}.into();
Please see the API documentation for how to get started. Enjoy.

Examples
You can find some example application code under dynomite/examples
DynamoDB local
AWS provides a convenient way to host a local instance of DynamoDB for testing.
Here is a short example of how to get up a testing locally quickly with both dynomite as well as rusoto_dynamodb
.
In one terminal spin up a Docker container for DynamoDB local listening on port 8000
$ docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 amazon/dynamodb-local
In another, run a rust binary with a client initialized like you see the the local.rs example
