Create DynamoDB table with AWS CDK in Python with timestamp

Question

I'm trying to work with the AWS CDK for DynamoDB and am finding the documentation examples somewhat limited. I'm trying to create a specific DynamoDB table that gets a Timestamp attached to the table being created via AWS CDK. I tried finding examples of something that accomplishes this by referring to this but am not able to find something close.

Below is my code that creates a table, but I need a timestamp to be attached to the table being created. I believe a working solution for what I am trying to do can consist of taking the value I have specified in "table_name" and concatenating the timeStamp variable with the value for "table_name". My python knowledge is somewhat limited. Any advice on how I can concatenate these values would be helpful. I think that should work.

from aws_cdk import (
core as cdk,
aws_dynamodb as dynamodb
)
from aws_cdk import core
from datetime import datetime


class CdkStack(cdk.Stack):

    def __init__(self, scope: cdk.Construct, construct_id: str, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(scope, construct_id, **kwargs)

        currentDate= dateTime.now()
        timeStamp= dateTime.timestamp(currentDate)
        dynamodbTable= dynamodb.Table(self,id='dynamodbTable',table_name='DynamoDbTableWithTimeStamp',partition_key=dynamodb.Attribute(name='id',type=dynamodb.AttributeType.STRING))

Looks like simple string formatting is what you need:

import time

...
table_name=f'DynamoDbTableWithTimeStamp_{int(time.time())}',
...
