Error: cannot find module 'dynamodb-doc'
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This error occurs when an AWS service such as the Lambda function cannot locate the module dynamodb-doc as a third-party dependency.
Solution - Here's How To Resolve It
To resolve the error, manually add the module in the package.json as shown below.
"dependencies": {
"dynamodb-doc": "^1.0.0"
}
Additionally, you can install the dependency using the command npm i dynamodb-doc, and it will automatically add the module to the package.json as a third-party dependency.
