Usage with TypeScript

The ASK SDK DynamoDB Persistence Adapter package for Node.js bundles TypeScript definition files for use in TypeScript projects and to support tools that can read .d.ts files. Our goal is to keep these TypeScript definition files updated with each release for any public api.

Pre-requisites

Before you can begin using these TypeScript definitions with your project, you need to make sure your project meets a few of these requirements:

• Use TypeScript v2.x
• Includes the TypeScript definitions for node. You can use npm to install this by typing the following into a terminal window:

npm install --save-dev @types/node

In Node.js

To use the TypeScript definition files within a Node.js project, simply import ask-sdk-dynamodb-persistence-adapter as below:

In a TypeScript file:

import * as Adapter from 'ask-sdk-dynamodb-persistence-adapter';

In a JavaScript file:

const Adapter = require('ask-sdk-dynamodb-persistence-adapter');
