(JavaScript) DynamoDB - DeleteItem

Deletes a single item in a table by primary key. You can perform a conditional delete operation that deletes the item if it exists, or if it has an expected attribute value.

For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteItem.html

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.
