Add ability to pass ExclusiveStartKey / return LastEvaluatedKey when querying about dynamodb-onetable HOT 7 CLOSED

Without checking, I think you can use params.start and result.start. These are mapped to ExclusiveStartKey / LastEvaluatedKey I think.

Look at the Pagination example in the readme.

from dynamodb-onetable.

I think it's unclear if the result object is an array of records or is it an object with a start and next properties. I'm confused.

for example: in let adminUsers = await User.find({accountId: account.id, role: 'admin'})

what is adminUsers?

from dynamodb-onetable.

Find always returns an array. In Javascript, you can also set properties of an array.

So adminUsers is an Array AND adminUsers.start should be set to the next key.

I'll update the doc to clarify. Thanks.

Doc updated to say:

The find method will automatically invoke DynamoDB query to fetch additional items and aggregate the result up to the limit specified by params.limit. If the limit is exceeded, the last key fetched is set in the 'result.start' property of the returned array of items. You can provide this as params.start to a subsequent API call to continue the query with the next page of results.

Let me convert this to a discussion for others to benefit.
