SDK Design and Methodology

Introduction​

Welcome to the liblab TypeScript SDK! This guide provides insights into our SDK’s design methodology, configuration options, and recommended practices for building with TypeScript. The TypeScript SDK is designed to provide a strongly typed, performant, and user-friendly experience.

liblab's TypeScript SDK Methodology​

liblab’s TypeScript SDK leverages TypeScript’s static typing and modular design to deliver a reliable, scalable solution. Our key focus areas include:

  • Strong Typing: By leveraging TypeScript’s static typing, the SDK offers enhanced reliability and reduces runtime errors.
  • Modularity: We provide a modular setup, enabling developers to include only the necessary components for their projects.
  • Ease of Use: The SDK follows TypeScript conventions and best practices, making it approachable for JavaScript developers.
  • Performance: The SDK is designed to handle high-frequency API calls, ensuring optimal performance.

TypeScript SDK Core Features​

Here are some best practices we've implemented to maximize the performance and reliability of the TypeScript SDK:

  • Integrated Schema Validation: We incorporate tools like Zod for robust runtime validation, ensuring secure and reliable data handling directly within the SDK.
  • Leverage TypeScript’s Strict Typing: Utilizing strict typing features minimizes runtime errors, improves type inference, and enhances overall code stability.
  • Provide a Clear and Modular Architecture: Our SDKs are designed with modular components that enable scalability and maintainability for various project sizes and complexities.
  • Enhanced Developer Experience with Documentation: We include comprehensive models and services documentation to streamline integration and improve code discoverability for developers.
  • Prioritize Compatibility with TypeScript Standards: We adhere to TypeScript community best practices, such as using ES modules, avoiding ambient declarations, and enabling strict compiler options.
  • Optimize Code Readability and Usability: We focus on creating clean, well-organized code with predictable patterns to align with the expectations of TypeScript developers.

Sample Code​

The following TypeScript example shows a basic setup and API request using liblab’s SDK.

import { TestSdk } from 'test-sdk';

(async () => {
  const testSdk = new TestSdk({
    token: 'YOUR_TOKEN',
  });

  const { data } = await testSdk.store.getInventory();

  console.log(data);
})();

This example demonstrates initialization, an API request, and error handling to guide TypeScript developers on SDK usage.

FAQs and Common Pitfalls​

Q: How can I ensure type safety when handling responses?​

A: The SDK provides strongly typed responses. Use TypeScript’s interfaces and types to handle responses in a type-safe manner.
