Using dynamo mapped object type property attributes

[tyronedougherty]

Hi, does anyone know how to use attributes that are Maps in DynamoDB with waterline?

The JSON type doesn't appear to work 😕

Many thanks to anyone who may be able to help!

Correct me if I'm wrong but after much digging, it appears that JSON types are not supported?

Line 1126 of index.js (_setColumnType):

case "array":  // not support
          schema.StringSet(name, options);
          break;

             //case "json":
             //case "string":
             //case "binary":
        case "string":
             ....

Is there any chance of supporting JSON attributes in the near future?

Definitely would take a PR!

Thanks for clarifying @devinivy, in my quick assessment it seems like it may be a significant update and may require updating the vogels package (which is currently very out of date).

Yeah, this module needs a makeover. Some day I'll have the time to do it, but for the time being I can just support by reviewing PRs.
