It seems that in AWS SDK v3, in order to construct a DynamoDB client with custom timeout you need to first create a NodeHttpHandler and pass it as a requestHandler in the constructor of the DynamoDB Client like so:
import { DynamoDBClient } from '@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb';
import { NodeHttpHandler } from '@aws-sdk/node-http-handler';
const requestHandler = new NodeHttpHandler({ requestTimeout: DYNAMO_DB_TIMEOUT });
const dynamoDbClient = new DynamoDBClient({ requestHandler });
This solution can be seen in answers such as this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/77324334/1082326
However if I do that, then TypeScript displays the following error:
Types of property 'requestHandler' are incompatible.
Type 'NodeHttpHandler' is not assignable to type 'HttpHandler'.
Type 'NodeHttpHandler' is missing the following properties from type '{ updateHttpClientConfig(key: never, value: never): void; httpHandlerConfigs(): {}; }': updateHttpClientConfig, httpHandlerConfigs ts(2345)
Given that this is the suggested answer on how to create a DynamoDB client with custom timeout, how do I get TypeScript to compile this correctly without resorting to using @ts-ignore?
I'm using:
NodeHttpHandler should be from @smithy:
const { DynamoDBClient } = require("@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb");
const { NodeHttpHandler } = require("@smithy/node-http-handler");
var dynamodbClient = new DynamoDBClient({
requestHandler: new NodeHttpHandler({
connectionTimeout: 2000,
requestTimeout: 1000
})
});
