Dynamoose not using DocumentClient which makes DAX support useless

Hello, I have been debugging our node app since we could not figure out why our dax cluster wasn’t being used (seen in metrics) even though it was configured according to the dynamoose docs. I started digging through the code and as far as I can see, documentClient is only used when running scans, so not for any put, get, query and so on. Is this really the case or have I gotten it all wrong?`

If that is the case, then DAX would not be leveraged for regular actions to the tables and rendering DAX pretty useless for a dynamoose setup.

Is there a way to get dynamoose to use the documentclient instead of the raw dynamodb methods from the aws sdk?

@kikemarto, I can use DAX with Dynamoose with below code:

const AmazonDaxClient = require('amazon-dax-client');
const dax = new AmazonDaxClient({endpoints: [endpoint], region: region});
 
const dynamoose = require("dynamoose");
dynamoose.aws.ddb.set(dax);

@ryanweaver718 , I didn’t see this error because I only use DAX lib for reading & writing data to Dynamodb table. From the error, it seems AmazonDaxClient does not implement createTable function. You must use AWS.DynamoDB class or use different way to create table.
