How to use SimpleDB with Node.JS

in the main app:

//aws config

AWS.config.loadFromPath('credentials.json');

AWS.config.update({region: 'us-east-1', apiVersion: '2009-04-15'});

exports.AWS = AWS;

in the views/partials/partial1.jade:

p IC Name: {{character.Attributes["IC Name"]}}

in public/js/controllers.js:

socket.on('send:character', function (data) {

$scope.character = data.character;

in routes/socket.js:

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');

var sendChar = function(socket) {

console.log("send character");

var sdb = new AWS.SimpleDB();

var params = {

'DomainName': 'Avatars',

'ItemName': 'Avatar Name'

};

sdb.getAttributes(params,function(err, data){

if(err) {

console.log('error in send:character: ',err);

return error;

}

charData = {'Attributes':{}};

data.Attributes.forEach(function(value,index){

charData.Attributes[value.Name]=value.Value;

});

console.log('char data returned: ',charData);

socket.emit('send:character', {

character: charData

});

});

}

module.exports = function (socket) {

...

sendChar(socket);

...

};
