Why are tables pluralised by default? #83

Closed jaitaiwan closed 3 years ago

jaitaiwan commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Why is it on line https://github.com/baseprime/dynamodb/blob/72dc874a1de4d500f5effa383a88255049f00632/lib/index.js#L71 table names are pluralised by default? I've just spent countless hours on this trying to find out why I was getting a "ResourceNotFoundException" error 😅

Happy to do a PR and update documentation to turn this off.

Thanks

I agree with @jaitaiwan, this is not very intuitive and takes away control over an important parameter for the developer. Having an option to disable this conversion would be handy.

This is common amongst ORMs

Not interested in giving the user control of this or document it? It’s also common for ORMs to give users the ability to override default behaviour like this.
