DynamoDb - How to create dynamodb table with Columns(attribute name/type)?

See original GitHub issue

var table = new Table(this, "UniqueTable", new TableProps
            {
                TableName = "UniqueTableName",
                PartitionKey = new Attribute { Name = "EventMessageID", Type = AttributeType.STRING},
                
            });

This construct doesn’t have any way to create columns (name and type). Any idea how to accomplish that, so that I do not have to write the cloudformation manually? I am referring to .NET(C#) CDK. Thanks

@sacag attributes are only needed for things that are part of either keys (like the hash and sort keys), or indexes. For everything else, there are no attributes (DynamoDB is schemaless).

You define the keys when creating the Table. You add indexes with instance methods on the created table.

@skinny85 - Thanks for the response. Working as expected. CDK will create the table(schemaless) with indexes and keys. Attributes can be added at runtime.
