I have a table with partition key and sort key also 2 other columns. I am unable to get items using FilterExpression for multiple conditions with AND in DynamoDB using javaScript AWS SDK. Can anyone provide correct code to retrieve data with multiple conditions in FilterExpression? My code is as follows:

var params = {
    TableName: 'Department',
    KeyConditionExpression: '#company = :companyId'
    , ExpressionAttributeNames: {
        '#company': 'CompanyID',
        '#dType': 'DepartmentType',
        '#cTime': 'CreatedTime'
    }
    , ExpressionAttributeValues: {
        ':companyId': 'Test',
        ':deptType': dType,
        ':daysPrior': 1250456879634
    },FilterExpression: '#dType = :deptType AND #ts > :daysPrior' 
};

There is typo error in the format in your query(after CreatedTime) To keep it clean, use either double quotes or single quotes but not both. I have used double quotes, just the way aws sample codes are there.

var params = {
    TableName: "Department",
    KeyConditionExpression: "#company = :companyId", 
    ExpressionAttributeNames: {
        "#company": "CompanyID",
        "#dType": "DepartmentType",
        "#cTime": "CreatedTime" //here
    },
    ExpressionAttributeValues: {
        ":companyId": "Test",
        ":deptType": dType,
        ":daysPrior": 1250456879634
    },
    FilterExpression: "#dType = :deptType AND #ts > :daysPrior" 
};

In case you need a bit more complex filter expressions to scan or query your DynamoDB table, you could use brackets, for example:

var params = {
    TableName: "Department",
    ...
    FilterExpression: "(not (#type <> :type and #company = :company)) or (#timestamp > :timestamp)",
    ...
};

Note: this example filter expression does not have a particular meaning.

My boss asked me to make a filter that does not recognize upper or lower case and to HeLlo search but find the same record.

{
data={
id=123123,
name="hello"}
}
