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 resolve this issue right in your project directory.

1. npm i -D dotenv.
2. Create .env file in root of our project.
3. Set environment variable AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1 in that .env file.
4. const {config} = require("dotenv"); in the same file where you configure connection to DynamoDB.
5. config() before you new AWS.DynamoDB().

P.S. As someone have mentioned before, problem is that Node doesn't get data from your aws.config file
