Get

Get allows you to retrieve Items by one of their full key paths. If no Item exists at that key path, nothing is returned. Like Put, Get supports batch requests of up to 50 key paths at a time, returning all the items that exist.

In order to Get an Item you must know one of its key paths, which were defined as part of the Item Type’s schema. Each SDK contains some helpers to build key paths.

Clients automatically parse the returned Items into typed objects, though depending on the language you may have different methods for checking which type an Item is.

For this example we’ll use the schema defined in Example: Movies Schema, which declares Movie as an Item Type with the key path /movies-:id.

Go

package main

import (
  "context"
  "fmt"
  "os"
  "slices"
  "strconv"
  "time"

  "github.com/StatelyCloud/go-sdk/stately"
  // This is the code you generated from schema
  "github.com/StatelyCloud/stately/go-sdk-sample/schema"
)

func sampleGet(
  ctx context.Context,
  client stately.Client,
  movieID []byte,
) (*schema.Movie, error) {
  item, err := client.Get(
    ctx,
    // Construct the key path for the movie
    "/movie-"+stately.ToKeyID(movieID),
  )
  if err != nil {
    return nil, err
  }
  if item == nil { // Item not found
    return nil, nil
  }
  if movie, ok := item.(*schema.Movie); ok {
    return movie, nil
  }
  return nil, fmt.Errorf("item is not a Movie")
}

  item, err := client.WithAllowStale(true).Get(
    ctx,
    "/movie-"+stately.ToKeyID(movieID),
  )

Ruby

require 'bundler/setup'
require_relative 'schema/stately'
require 'byebug'


def sample_get(client, movie_id)
  # Construct the key path for the movie
  key_path = StatelyDB::KeyPath.with('movie', movie_id)
  item = client.get(key_path)
  return item
end
  item = client.with_allow_stale(true).get(key_path)

Python

from __future__ import annotations

from typing import TYPE_CHECKING

from statelydb import ListToken, SyncChangedItem, SyncDeletedItem, SyncReset, key_path

from .schema import Actor, Change, Character, Client, Movie


async def sample_get(client: Client, movie_id: UUID) -> Movie | None:
    # Construct the key path for the movie
    kp = key_path("movie-{id}", id=movie_id)
    # Tell get that we expect a Movie
    return await client.get(Movie, kp)

TypeScript

import { createClient, DatabaseClient, Movie } from "./schema/index.js";
import { keyPath, ListToken } from "@stately-cloud/client";

async function sampleGet(
  client: DatabaseClient,
  movieId: Uint8Array,
): Promise<Movie | undefined> {
  // Construct the key path for the movie
  const kp = keyPath`/movie-${movieId}`;
  // Tell get that we expect a Movie
  const item = await client.get("Movie", kp);
  return item;
}

CLI

# There are no key path helpers for shell, so you need to
# manually base64-encode the UUID's bytes
stately item get \
  --store-id <store-id-goes-here> \
  --item-key '/movie-2hC3sMFFSlelJlFf9hRD9g'
