Can I remove (update in general) nested attributes? about typedorm

[dls314]

I was hoping that TypeDORM would generate an update expression using DynamoDB's document path, like https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/Expressions.Attributes.html#Expressions.Attributes.NestedElements.DocumentPathExamples

For an id like 1, I think the expression would end up as

{
  ExpressionAttributeNames: {
    '#attr0': 'attribute.name',
  },
  Key: {
    pk: 'MyEntity#1',
  },
  ReturnValues: 'ALL_NEW',
  TableName: 'MyTable',
  UpdateExpression:
    'REMOVE #attr0',
}

Or perhaps like this (sorry, my DynamoDB update expressions are weak)

{
  ExpressionAttributeNames: {
    '#attr0': 'attribute',
    '#attr1': 'name',
  },
  Key: {
    pk: 'MyEntity#1',
  },
  ReturnValues: 'ALL_NEW',
  TableName: 'MyTable',
  UpdateExpression:
    'REMOVE #attr0.#attr1',
}

I'd still love to hear information from the community, it's likely I'm missing something.

But, to update from what I've found.
TypeDORM can't work with nested attributes through entity manager.

I ended up refactoring entities here, to avoid the necessity of working with nested attributes. It's not a great solution in general, I think, but it worked.
