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

You can specify the region when creating the dynamodb connection (haven't tried s3 but that should work too).

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var dd = new AWS.DynamoDB({'region': 'us-east-1'});
