How to read an item from dynamodb in an async function (aws lambda)?

Question

So a little background to the task, I'm trying to run the chrome-aws-lambda on aws lambda.

As you can see on the GitHub, it follows async/await syntax. My problem is, I want to be able to read a value from dynamodb in the middle of the execution of chrome-AWS-lambda.

I know how to read the value from dynamodb in normal function, I know how to use chrome-AWS-lambda. I just can't get these 2 to work together.

Should I be using some special function to read the data from dynamodb? currently, I am using DocumentClient.get()

Any help would be very appreciated.

Answer 1

you can force the return to be a promise, and thus it will satisfy async/await requirements:

DocumentClient.get().promise()
