Helper for launching dynamo db for testing

PhlocalDynamo

, _(*1)

This package provides a wrapper for the DynamoDb.jar that is available from AWS for local deployment. It is intended to speed up development and testing with dynamo db., _(*2)

The required dynamo library should be downloadable from here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/Tools.DynamoDBLocal.html, _(*3)

This package is a php port of a c# library from JUST EAT: https://github.com/justeat/LocalDynamoDb, _(*4)

Getting Started

Java is required as Amazon provide the local DynamoDb as a jar file., _(*5)

Run composer require mead-steve/phlocal-dynamo, _(*6)

The DynamoDb.jar isn't included in this package to avoid licensing issues.
Add the contents of the zip/tar file from amazon in to vendor\MeadSteve\PhlocalDynamo\src\dynamo, _(*7)

Then in any test classes simply do the following, _(*8)

    $dynamo = new LocalDynamo(9091);
    $dynamo->start();

And to stop it, _(*9)

    $dynamo->stop();

Using PhlocalDynamo

Calling $dynamo->getClient() will return a dynamo client instance pointing to the local instance of dynamo., _(*10)
