Join the chat at https://gitter.im/edasque/DynamoDBtoCSV

This application will export the content of a DynamoDB table into CSV (comma-separated values) output. All you need to do is update config.json with your AWS credentials and region.

The output is comma-separated and each field is enclosed by double quotes ("). Double quotes in the data as escaped as "

Usage

typically, to use you'd run:

node dynamoDBtoCSV.js -t Hourly_ZEDO_Impressions_by_IP > output.csv

or even:

node dynamoDBtoCSV.js -t Hourly_ZEDO_Impressions_by_IP -f output.csv

to export to CSV

Use -d to describe the table prior so you can have an idea of the number of rows you are going to export

node dynamoDBtoCSV.js -t Hourly_ZEDO_Impressions_by_IP -d

to get some information about the table.

Full syntax is:

node dynamoDBtoCSV.js --help
