How I can work with Amazon's Dynamodb Local in Node?

Question

Amazon offers a local simulator for their Dynamodb product but the examples are only in PHP.

These examples mention passing the parameter "base_url" to specify that you're using a local Dynamodb, but that returns this error in Node:

{ [UnrecognizedClientException: The security token included in the request is invalid.]   message: 'The security token included in the request is invalid.',   code: 'UnrecognizedClientException',   name: 'UnrecognizedClientException',   statusCode: 400,   retryable: false } 

How do I get Dynamodb_local working in Node?

You should follow this blog post to setup your DynamoDB Local, an then you can simply use this code:

var AWS= require('aws-sdk'), dyn= new AWS.DynamoDB({ endpoint: new AWS.Endpoint('http://localhost:8000') });  dyn.listTables(function (err, data) {    console.log('listTables',err,data); });
