[$75] NPM steps for creating tables

[jmgasper]

@afrisalyp - Let's add this npm options to the package.json. We'll need these to handle DB updates because our dev and prod creds configured for the app cannot do things like create tables, so we'll need to have a separate user run the updates first.

1. Add a npm run create-tables step that can be run to look for each required table, and, if it doesn't exist, create it. This won't delete or overwrite any existing data, so it can be used non-destructively.

To update DB models we need to:

• Configure the DynamoDB environment. For local deployment:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=FAKE_ACCESS_KEY_ID
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=FAKE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
export AWS_REGION=FAKE_REGION
export IS_LOCAL=true

• Run npm run create-tables on the parent directory of the updated project.

@afrisalyp - This seems to have worked, but we need to make the script a bit more user friendly. Can you add some output so we know when tables are being created, and add an error handler to output errors as well please? We'll need this in the future.

@jmgasper - Ah okay. I'll make improvements to the script. Thanks for the feedback

[afrisalyp]

@jmgasper - I've updated the script to make it more informative. It'll be look like this. Do you think that it's acceptable?
