DynamoDB Local

[dbclkclk]

Does this use Dynamodb local? If so, how can I configure it to use it because, currently I'm getting a bunch of issues using this plugin:

This is a common dynamodb-local misunderstanding - even though it's not live AWS, you still need to pass a region key, the value just gets ignored:

When configured directly with dynamodb-local:

console.log("[*] Pointing at DynamoDB Local");
dynamoDbClient = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient({
  region: 'localhost',
  endpoint: 'http://localhost:8000'
});

This works great for running tests:

const dynamo = require('dynamodb');
const { DocumentClient } = require('aws-sdk/clients/dynamodb');
const isTest = process.env.JEST_WORKER_ID;

var docClient = new DocumentClient({
    convertEmptyValues: true,
    ...(isTest && {
        endpoint: 'localhost:8000',
        sslEnabled: false,
        region: 'local-env'
    }),
})

dynamo.documentClient(docClient)
