QUESTION: Is the call to captureAWS via the aws-xray-sdk still required in v2.0?

[tafs7]

I noticed that for v2.0, you added a comment at the top of the README which states this plugin now enables tracing via CloudFormation, instead of making calls to the AWS sdk.

However, a few lines later in the README, you state that we still need to include the following code:

const awsXRay = require('aws-xray-sdk');
const awsSdk = awsXRay.captureAWS(require('aws-sdk'));

Is that call to captureAWS still a requirement via code, or just a remnant of previous requirement before v2.0, and should be removed from the README?

I'm not a developer with this project, but I just verified by experiment that the wrapper is still needed. The tracing enabled by this plugin add called TO this function to be shown in XRay. Wrapping the awsSdk as shown in the docs allows calls FROM this function to also be shown.

@tafs7 Sorry for the delay - I've been very busy lately and rarely check GitHub issues list.
Thanks @mrfishy for filling in :)
