DynamoDB: Get Table (Guide w/ Code Examples)

To get a table using the AWS JavaScript SDK, you can use the describeTable method. It returns the table's metadata, including its primary key schema, provisioned throughput, and current status. The data returned is passed as an argument to the callback function.

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB();

const params = {
  TableName: 'myTable'
};

dynamodb.describeTable(params, (err, data) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log(data);
  }
});
