find if partition key exists in dynamodb

I need to check if a partition key exists (email) in a dynamodb table

I am using an astro action with typescript and the error it returns is:

ValidationException: The provided key element does not match the schema

I can see it in the console and if I search for it it will find it.

What am I doing wrong?

table

policies:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::xxxx:user/xxxx"
      },
      "Action": [
        "dynamodb:GetItem",
        "dynamodb:Query",
        "dynamodb:PutItem",
        "dynamodb:Scan"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:dynamodb:xxx:xxxxx:table/votos"
    }
  ]
}

error:

ValidationException: The provided key element does not match the schema

  console.log("emailVoto llego:", emailVoto);

You're using a GetItem command which expects a full primary key as parameter, however you only pass the partition key. To use just the partition key, simply change the command to QueryCommand:

import { dynamodb } from "@/aws";
import { QueryCommand, PutCommand } from "@aws-sdk/lib-dynamodb";

async function chequeaVoto(emailVoto: string): Promise<string | false> {
  console.log("emailVoto llego:", emailVoto);
  const params = {
    TableName: "votos",
    KeyConditionExpression: "#a = :v",
    ExpressionAttributeNames: {
        "#a": "email"
    }, 
    ExpressionAttributeValues: {
        ":v": emailVoto
    }

  };

  try {
    const result = await dynamodb.send(new QueryCommand(params));
    console.log("Resultado de la consulta chequeo:", result.Items);
    // Verifica si existe el item y devuelve el voto o false
    return result.Items ? result.Items[0].voto : false;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error en la consulta:", error);
    return false; // Devuelve false en caso de error
  }
}
