How to config the credentials for DynamoDB using aws-sdk js? about aws-doc-sdk-examples

At the risk of this becoming argumentative, I'm reasonably sure people using those frameworks are also packaging their apps with webpack. You can use import with apps packaged with webpack because that's part of the point of webpack, to enable Node.js coding in apps packaged for the web. This is covered in the Developer Guide at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v2/developer-guide/webpack.html

If I may ask, why are you using Cognito with this code sample? The import statement is used with Node.js and not in browser scripts. According to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v2/developer-guide/loading-the-jssdk.html

You use a different syntax to load the SDK in browser scripts. If you are coding in Node.js, follow this topic to see how to obtain credentials for your code:

import can be used in web apps.

The Readme didn't specify that these examples are for Node.js.

[daviddeyo]

That has been clarified now. As a rule of thumb, any example that loads the SDK via import was intended for Node.js execution and any example that loads the SDK from a <script> tag is intended for browser scripts. I will individually add comments to each example to further clarify.

I believe aws users use import in their Angular, React, Vue etc web apps which use similar syntax to the examples written for Node.js. I didn't import aws using a script tag, instead, installed aws-sdk via npm.
