Note: Prerequisite for Python3 development

Example

Connect to DynamoDB

You can connect to DynamoDB by following any of these two ways.

1. Using AWS config

from LucidDynamodb import DynamoDb
db = DynamoDb()

"""
$ pip install awscli  #can add user flag
$ aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [****************ABCD]:[enter your key here]
AWS Secret Access Key [****************xyz]:[enter your secret key here]
Default region name [us-west-2]:[enter your region here]
Default output format [None]:
"""

2. Using AWS secret key

from LucidDynamodb import DynamoDb
import os
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = os.getenv("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID")
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = os.getenv("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY")
db = DynamoDb(region_name="us-east-1",
              aws_access_key_id=AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
              aws_secret_access_key=AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)
