DYNDB001: Missing partition key

FieldValue
CodeDYNDB001
SeverityError

Message

Entity '{0}' must have exactly one property marked with [PartitionKey]

Description

Every DynamoDB entity must have exactly one partition key property. The source generator requires a partition key to generate proper key handling, query builders, and CRUD operations for the entity.

Example

The following code triggers this diagnostic:

[DynamoDbTable("Orders")]
public partial class Order
{
[DynamoDbAttribute("orderId")]
public string OrderId { get; set; } = string.Empty;

[DynamoDbAttribute("status")]
public string Status { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

Fix

The corrected version:

[DynamoDbTable("Orders")]
public partial class Order
{
[PartitionKey]
[DynamoDbAttribute("pk")]
public string Pk { get; set; } = string.Empty;

[DynamoDbAttribute("orderId")]
public string OrderId { get; set; } = string.Empty;

[DynamoDbAttribute("status")]
public string Status { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}
