Example

import * as dynamoose from "dynamoose";
import * as crypto from "crypto";

// Create a new Dynamoose model
const Book = dynamoose.model("Book", {
	"id": {
		"type": String,
		"hashKey": true,
		"default": () => crypto.randomUUID()
	},
	"title": {
		"type": String,
		"required": true
	},
	"author": {
		"type": String,
		"required": true
	},
	"publishedDate": {
		"type": Date,
		"required": true
	},
	"genre": {

		]
	},
	"summary": String,
