Error: dynamodb cannot convert undefined to object
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
You may run into this error mainly in a Node.js environment when the code tries to access properties or methods of an object that has yet to be defined or initialized correctly.
It could be a problem with the data you pass to DynamoDB or the way you are trying to access the property.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
Since the actual code isn't available, there is no proper way to determine the exact solution for this issue. Therefore, the best option is to re-examine the code (debug it) and ensure that the value you are trying to convert to an object is not undefined.
Additionally, you could implement checks like value !== undefined to enforce that the value must not be undefined for an operation to execute.
