SDK Development

Create professional TypeScript SDKs from scratch or by extraction.

Key Principles

  • Clean public API — Export only what consumers need, hide internals
  • Type everything — Full type coverage for config, methods, responses, and errors
  • Meaningful errors — Typed error classes with codes and context
  • Sensible defaults — Works out of the box with minimal config
  • Framework agnostic — Core SDK has no framework dependencies; add bindings separately

Quick Start Checklist

  1. Analyze scope: new SDK or extraction from existing app
  2. Design public API surface (exports, types, config)
  3. Implement client with typed methods and error handling
  4. Configure build for ESM/CJS/types (tsup recommended)
  5. Write tests (unit + integration) and examples
  6. Publish to npm with proper package.json exports field
