Examples of how to interact with new/pre-existing tables with Hash and Sort keys about scanamo HOT 10 CLOSED

There's nothing particular to the examples that requires them to have new tables.

The main reason for creating and dropping tables as part of the examples is that they're all executed as test cases as part of the build pipeline.

If there's anything that's still not clear, let me know and I'll try and elaborate.

I'm a bit confused as to how to use a table that has a hash and a sort key and one that has a GSI index. Can you please elaborate on this?

Thank you very much, this is an awesome library

The Table scaladoc has an example showing querying from a GSI.

While the Scanamo scaladoc has an example of getting with a hash and range key. I should probably move the latter over to the Table docs now, as that's the main approach I'm suggesting.

Thanks! That helps a lot :-)

Oops my fat fingers

I took a look at the Table example you provided. To make it more clearer that you are using a GSI, it would be great if you could state in a comment as to how the table is configured (primary key, GSI hash and sort key). What do you think?

from scanamo.

Yes, I'll try and add something to the README (unless someone else gets round to a PR first).

I need to take a look at how to structure it better at some point too.

Sounds good. I'm also working on a full end to end example with Play framework to get a simple REST API hooked into DynamoDB via Scanamo. You can find it here

Still have to clean it up some more

Does https://github.com/guardian/scanamo/blob/00e4d4530acba3709e4a67c9010ea62874aaf3b0/README.md#using-indexes look like it explains things a bit more?

Absolutely, great job 👍
