AWS Lambda and DynamoDB - updatetItem is not a function

I have this lambda function. 

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var sqs = new AWS.SQS({region : 'eu-west-1'});
var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB();

var datetime = new Date().getTime().toString();

exports.handler = function(event, context) {

    dynamodb.updatetItem({
        "TableName": "tablename",
        "Item" : {
            "messageHash": {"S": hash },
            "date": {"S": String(datetime) }
        },
        "ReturnValues": "ALL_OLD"
    }, function(err, data) {

Any idea why every call ending with error "TypeError: dynamodb.updatetItem is not a function" ?? I think everything is right ... :-/

// Create a new instance of DynamoDB DocumentClient
var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();

The DocumentClient simplifies working with AWS DynamoDB by handling data conversion automatically. If you're facing issues with DynamoDB operations, ensure that you have installed and configured the AWS SDK properly:

const AWS = require("aws-sdk");
AWS.config.update({ region: "us-east-1" });

var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();

If you still get an error, check if your AWS credentials are set correctly. Let me know if you need more help!

I had to use: dynamodb.update()

Excerpts from AWS documentation:

update(params, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request Edits an existing item's attributes, or adds a new item to the table if it does not already exist by delegating to AWS.DynamoDB.updateItem().

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/DynamoDB/DocumentClient.html

You have a typo in your code.

dynamodb.updatetItem -> dynamodb.updateItem
