I have a Flutter app which is written in Dart that will become an Android and iOS app. I have a table in a DynamoDB on AWS that I want to show every entry in that table in the Flutter app. It will only be 5 or 10 items in the table as this is a demo for school, not a real app for a business. I have to use AWS and DynamoDB. I have used API Gateway to read an item using the primary key, but I want to show multiple items.
Through my research I am aware of using Lambda to scan the DynamoDB table and then using the API Gateway to connect to the Lambda.
Can anyone help?
I have located a few tutorials and pages about Lambda and querying a DynamoDB, but its unclear how that would make an API Gateway create a http endpoint.
I'll be brief, as it's relatively straight forward, especially as you were already using GetItem. There are two ways to achieve it, one directly from API Gateway to DynamoDB, which I would advise against for you as VTL templates used for this are quite cumbersome.
The alternative is to use Lambda as a proxy to talk to DynamoDB. You then call DynamoDB Scan API to return all the data in the table:
