Configuring region in Node.js AWS SDK

Question

Can someone explain how to fix a missing config error with Node.js? I\'ve followed all the examples from the aws doc page but I still get this error no matter what.

Answer 1

How about changing the order of statements? Update AWS config before instantiating s3 and dd

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
AWS.config.update({region:'us-east-1'});

var dd = new AWS.DynamoDB();
var s3 = new AWS.S3();
