const client = new DynamoDB.DocumentClient(params)

AWS SDK V3

If you are using the AWS SDK V3, import the AWS V3 DynamoDBClient class and the OneTable Dynamo helper. Then create a DynamoDBClient instance and Dynamo wrapper instance. Note: you will need Node v14 or later for this to work.

import Dynamo from 'dynamodb-onetable/Dynamo'
import {Model, Table} from 'dynamodb-onetable'
import {DynamoDBClient} from '@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb'
const client = new Dynamo({client: new DynamoDBClient(params)})

Note: you can use the Table.setClient API to defer setting the client or replace the client at any time.
