list tables,

• first get the faraday class thing ready.

  boot.user=> (use '[taoensso.faraday :as dynamo])
  

• with a client-config hash defined in a separate clj file, here one/dynamo.clj is my file.

  (def client-config
    (if (:development env)
      {:access-key "OMGDEVELOPMENT"
       :secret-key "I_SHOULD_KEEP_THIS_SECRET!"
  
       ; Point the configuration at the DynamoDB Local
       :endpoint "http://localhost:8000"}
  
      {:endpoint "http://dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"}
      )
  )
  

• and use list-tables from the module/class thing,

  boot.user=> (use '[one.dynamo :as db])    ; `one/dynamo.clj`
  
  boot.user=> (dynamo/list-tables db/client-config)
  (:primes :projects :times)
  

create table

• to get this env part to work, I didnt see any way to set the env vars in clojure, so I just set them on my shell,

  export development=true  # and this could have been anything that reduces to boolean true actually.
  

• and the dynamodb local credentials dont matter it turns out,
