Laravel with Dynamodb

Question

I created a User model and UserController

and my model User.php is

<?php    
namespace App;    
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient;

class User extends \Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient
{
    protected $table = 'users';
    protected $fillable = array('email');
    protected $primaryKey = 'user_id';
}

when I create a object in UserController

public function postSignUp(Request $request)
    {    
        $user = new User();

it said the $user = new User();(line30) have error

Argument 1 passed to Aws\AwsClient::__construct() must be of the type array, none given, called in C:....\laravel\app\Http\Controllers\UserController.php on line 30 and defined

Thanks!!

You can't just go ahead and replace your User Eloquent model to extend DynamoDbClient and expect everything to work. DynamoDbClient is an entire client to handle your DB needs, not even close to being a Model that you can extend...

Just use a Laravel Package designed for this exact reason.

This is one that I just found: https://github.com/baopham/laravel-dynamodb
