AppSync Resolver Query Table/Secondary Index Without Using Primary Key










0















From the official AWS documentation it seems that to query for items in dynamodb one needs to provide an equality key expression for the primary key. However, the AppSync doc did not explicitly say this. I am wondering is it possible in the resolver, to query the dynamodb without providing an equality key expression for the primary key of either the index or the table? For example, can I do the following:



primaryKey != anInput



or simply omit the equality expression altogether and use expressions on other attributes instead?

          The AppSync doc says:
          "The query expression. This field must be specified." In the case of DDB query the DDB doc says: The Query operation finds items based on primary key values. You can query any table or secondary index that has a composite primary key (a partition key and a sort key).
