Need to scan db and either display a message or update item

I'm using Dynamo DB in AWS. I've reviewed some of the documentation and now have a semi functional lambda function. I'm not too familiar with nodejs but figured "it's javascript! just treat it like that!".



So this function is about scanning the database in the user_handle db and if a user already has an existing handle, then alert the user that the handle already exists. If the handle does not exist, then update the user_handle item.



So my function updates the handle if it doesn't exist, but if it does, then I need to see this in my response.



Here's my lambda function:



const AWS = require('aws-sdk'); const docClient = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient({region: 'us-west-1'});

exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {
let e = JSON.parse(event.body)


var params = {
TableName: event.stageVariables.user,
Key: { 'userId' : e.userId },
UpdateExpression: 'set user_handle = :user_handle',
ExpressionAttributeValues: {
':user_handle' : e.user_handle,
}
};

var scanParams = {
TableName : event.stageVariables.user,
FilterExpression : 'user_handle = :user_handle',
ExpressionAttributeValues : {':user_handle' : e.user_handle}
};



docClient.scan(scanParams, function(err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log("ERROR:", err);
let response = {
"statusCode": err.statusCode,
"headers": {},
"body": JSON.stringify(err)
}
console.log("RESPONSE", response)
callback(response)
} else {
let response = {
"statusCode": 200,
"body": JSON.stringify({"Success": true})
}
callback(null, response)
// console.log("RESPONSE", response)
// console.log("DATA", data)
if( data.Count >= 1 ){

let handleExistsResponse = {
"statusCode": 200,
"body": JSON.stringify({"Success": false})
}
console.log("HANDLE IT", handleExistsResponse)
callback(null, handleExistsResponse)


} else {

docClient.update(params, function(err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log("ERROR:", err);
let response = {
"statusCode": err.statusCode,
"headers": {},
"body": JSON.stringify(err)
}
console.log(response)
callback(response)

} else {
let response = {
"statusCode": 200,
"body": JSON.stringify({"Success": true})
}
callback(null, response)
}
});

}
}
// console.log("DATA", data);
});


};


Here's the DB function in my React Native App:



export async function createUserHandle() {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
let { auth } = store.getState()

let reqBody = {
userId: auth.user.username,
user_handle: auth.user_handle,
}


let path = '/u/create-user-handle'
let myInit = {
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: reqBody,
// response: true,
}

API.post(apiName, path, myInit)
.then((resp) => {
console.log('response from user handle', resp)
resolve(resp)
})
.catch((error) => {
console.warn('Create USER Handle ERROR', error)
reject(error)
})
})
}


In the Lambda I was hoping that if (data.Count >= 1){} can give me a response of false coming from



let handleExistsResponse = {
"statusCode": 200,
"body": JSON.stringify({"Success": false})
}


and if it is false, then I can display the appropriate message on the front end. but the response i'm getting is true if i console log it on the front end.



( also, wouldn't mind a code review on this, probably my 3rd time writing a function like this. thanks!)

              // console.log("DATA", data)
              if( data.Count >= 1 ){


              The callback happening after the response kept the next call back after the condition to go through. I'm now getting the response I needed. Feels good :D



              Still wouldn't mind a code review :)

                } else {
                let response = {
                "statusCode": 200,
                "body": JSON.stringify({"Success": true})
                }
                callback(null, response)
                // console.log("RESPONSE", response)
                // console.log("DATA", data)
                if( data.Count >= 1 ){
