I am using API Gateway to provide a simple (or so I thought) API using AWS DynamoDB for a photo ordering web app. Some of the data is nested in List data type, and others in a Map data type.
After a lot of trial and error I came up with the following mapping template for the Integration Response.
As part of our application we allow quantity discounts on a product (this is a photo ordering app so a product would be an 8x10 from an image uploaded). We express pricing on the back end as a string of numbers in the form of qty,price,qty,price. This is then transformed into an object when we put into Dynamo like this: “qty”:price,”qty”:price - this is then stored in Dynamo as a Map data type.
Getting both the quantity and the price was a little hard as I couldn’t find any examples that were like this.
The trick seems to be the keySet() - without it I could only get the Number part of the Map.
Here is a screen shot of an item - this is basically one row of a table and represents shipping and option prices. The part the code below deals with is just getting the prices for the shipping - which like an 8x10 can be qty based - with the order total being the qty, price being the shipping price. This is not real data, I was just using this to work on to get the formatting.

#set($inputRoot = $input.path('$'))
#if($inputRoot.Count == '0' ) {"error":"no records"} #{else}
#foreach($elem in $inputRoot.Items)
{
"lab_id":"$elem.lab_id.S",
"require_userid": $elem.require_userid.BOOL,
"sales_tax": $elem.sales_tax.N,
"allowed_file_types": "$elem.allowed_file_types.S",
"global_checkout_options": $elem.global_checkout_options.S,
"shipping": [#foreach($shipitem in $elem.shipping.L)
{"shippingmethod": "$shipitem.M.shippingmethod.S",
"id": "$shipitem.M.id.S",
"description": "$shipitem.M.description.S",
"shiptype": "$shipitem.M.shiptype.S",
"pos_code": "$shipitem.M.pos_code.S",
"tieruses": "$shipitem.M.tieruses.S",
"price":{#foreach($sprice in $shipitem.M.price.M.keySet())"$sprice":$shipitem.M.price.M.get($sprice).N#if($foreach.hasNext),#end #end},
"taxable": $shipitem.M.taxable.BOOL}#if($foreach.hasNext),#end #end]
} #end #end
And this is what it returns from the gateway (yeah, I know, the global_checkout_options is not valid json as it should be null or something other than blank):
