Simple mappings with no namespacing/prefixing/etc?

[jpage-godaddy]

I'm wanting to migrate a library that is based on a framework stuck on AWS SDK v2 and has fallen out of maintenance. I was looking into using ElectroDB, however I want this to be compatible with existing table data, and I'm feeling some doubts the more I look at the documentation.

The prior library has a one-to-one entity to table relationship. Every entity type was in its own table; we don't do any kind of joining or anything like that. As a result, we don't want key prefixes, namespacing, anything like that, but it's not clear if that can be disabled and how to do that.

Will ElectroDB work for our use case, just a simple schema-enforcing interface for DynamoDB tables?

Hey @jpage-godaddy 👋

Yes, you can use Electro with an existing table. There is some documentation on this topic here, which details a few of the options you'll need to consider:

1. Using the ignoreOwnership: true execution option on query
2. (Likely necessary in your case) using the casing: 'none' index option

Here's an example of how this might look: playground

Awesome, thanks. I do find it inconvenient and a possible foot-gun to have to manually pass ignoreOwnership into every query. I've created a PR that I'm hoping will be helpful for people with my setup.
