### Importing existing tables

To import an existing table into your CDK application, use the `Table.fromTableName` or `Table.fromTableArn`
factory method. This method accepts table name or table ARN which describes the properties of an already

const table = Table.fromTableArn(this, 'ImportedTable', 'arn:aws:dynamodb:us-east-1:111111111:table/my-table');

table.grantReadWriteData(user);
