DynamoDb localhost

[nuvanti]

How do I access a local DynamoDB at http://localhost:8000 ?

Can you please provide an example?

You can access dynamodb local by overriding the endpoint resolver. In this case, you want to specify a static endpoint:

use http::Uri;
let endpoint = Endpoint::immutable(Uri::from_static("http://localhost:8000"));
let conf = aws_sdk_dynamodb::Config::builder().endpoint_resolver(endpoint).build();
let local_client = aws_sdk_dynamodb::from_conf(conf);

Thanks. This compiles but I get the following error:

Error: Unhandled(ConstructionFailure(NoRegion))

[rcoh]

yes, you need to set a region explicitly if there is no region specified in the environment variable:
Either:

• export REGION=us-east-1 (or any region)

•  use aws_sdk_dynamodb::Region;
   let conf = Config::builder().region(Region::new("us-east-1")).endpoint(...).build();

Is there a new way of doing this? Getting the same error on the code from the official AWS "using DynanmoDB local" link below

It looks like you just missed the Client in there. Should be:

let local_client = aws_sdk_dynamodb::Client::from_conf(conf);

We've added a guide section on using DynanmoDB local: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-rust/latest/dg/dynamodb-local.html
