PermissionEffect type conflict

[kl5331]

Sorry for the late reply. I'm pretty new to just about everything so I'm not sure what synchronous entails. Most of my dynamoDB calls(policies for example) are async/await calls that are then stored in their respective type. Also, I just tested the effect and it does in fact work as you stated. Must have been a mishap on my end. Thanks again for the quick response!

Hi @kl5331, the only two possible values for effect are allow or deny. Any other value would not be understood by the condition evaluator hence why the type is forced to this enum.
I’m not sure what you are trying to do? Are you using the memory store with DynamoDB behind it?

[SylvainEstevez]

Also, which version of typescript are you using?

[kl5331]

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, I am using the memory store with DDB behind it. The version is Version 3.6.3. One solution I was thinking was creating an interface that accepts the DynamoDB data(a policy) and convert the effect:"allow" (because everything is stored as a string, number, object, etc in Dynamo) to effect:PermissionEffect.allow.

Is that the best route?

I can't think of a better way without writing your own class @kl5331. One question for you: is your dynamoDB driver synchronous? I'm surprised to see that you're connecting to a database with the MemoryStore since all of its methods are synchronous.
