When creating a type annotated with @model, a DynamoDB table is created as follow :
the tableName + a unique random identifier + AWS environment.

I'm trying to use a cloud formation template & lambda scripts in order to interact with those tables, unfortunately, the unique random identifier changes each time I update the model ( as instance when editing dynamodb tale indexes

is there any way to force the table name or the identifier number, or is there any API that allows retrieving the dynamodb name dynamically.

type myTable
@model
{
myField: ID!
label : String
}

@MehdiTAZI that is currently not possible it is something that we'll look into as part of @model enhancements.

DynamoDB does not have a monotonically incrementing id type, for auto id uuidv4 is the suggested value and that is what the generated resolvers are utilizing and providing this functionality.
