How do I create a simple connection with Node.js to a DynamoDB table?

Question

I'm doing:

  AWS.config.update({ accessKeyId: process.env['AWS_ACCESS_KEY'], secretAccessKey: process.env['AWS_SECRET_KEY'] })
  const dynamoClient = new DynamoDB.DocumentClient()
  console.log(dynamoClient)

but it gives:

...
    endpoint: Endpoint {
      protocol: 'https:',
      host: 'dynamodb.undefined.amazonaws.com',
      port: 443,
      hostname: 'dynamodb.undefined.amazonaws.com',
      pathname: '/',
      path: '/',
      href: 'https://dynamodb.undefined.amazonaws.com/'
    }
...

Where do I get (and specify) my endpoint?

Did you try to add the region as well?

Do I need to define a schema ahead of time? I get The provided key element does not match the schema

You need to at least define the primary key when you create a DynamoDB table. That primary key can be either just a partition key or it can be a combination of the partition and sort keys. It all depends on the access patterns you plan to support with the table.
