// Set local configuration. Note: keys and region can be arbitrary values but must be set
var db = new AWS.DynamoDB({
    endpoint: new AWS.Endpoint("http://localhost:8000"),
    accessKeyId: "myKeyId",
    secretAccessKey: "secretKey",
    region: "us-east-1",
    apiVersion: "2016-01-07"
});

// require acl and create DynamoDB backend
var Acl = require('acl');
var dynamodbBackend = require('acl-dynamodb');
// Doesn't set a 'prefix' for collections and separates buckets into multiple collections.
acl = new Acl(new dynamodbBackend(db));

// Alternatively, set a prefix and combined buckets into a single collection
acl = new Acl(new dynamodbBackend(db, 'acl_', true));
