Instructions

# Apollo Local Dev Loop ## Overview Set up efficient local development workflow for Apollo.io integrations with proper environment management, testing, and debugging. ## Prerequisites - Completed `apollo-install-auth` setup - Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+ - Git repository initialized ## Instructions ### Step 1: Environment Setup ```bash # Create environment files touch .env .env.example .env.test # Add to .gitignore echo '.env' >> .gitignore echo '.env.local' >> .gitignore ``` ```bash # .env.example (commit this) APOLLO_API_KEY=your-api-key-here APOLLO_RATE_LIMIT=100 APOLLO_ENV=development ``` ### Step 2: Create Development Client ```typescript // src/lib/apollo-dev.ts import axios from 'axios'; const isDev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'; export const apolloClient = axios.create({ baseURL: 'https://api.apollo.io/v1', params: { api_key: process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY }, }); // Add request logging in development if (isDev) { apolloClient.interceptors.request.use((config) => { console.log(`[Apollo] ${config.method?.toUpperCase()} ${config.url}`); return config; }); apolloClient.interceptors.response.use( (response) => { console.log(`[Apollo] Response: ${response.status}`); return response; }, (error) => { console.error(`[Apollo] Error: ${error.response?.status}`, error.message); return Promise.reject(error); } ); } ``` ### Step 3: Create Mock Server for Testing ```typescript // src/mocks/apollo-mock.ts import { rest } from 'msw'; export const apolloHandlers = [ rest.post('https://api.apollo.io/v1/people/search', (req, res, ctx) => { return res( ctx.json({ people: [ { id: '1', name: 'Test User', title: 'Engineer', email: 'test@example.com' }, ], pagination: { page: 1, per_page: 10, total_entries: 1 }, }) ); }), rest.get('https://api.apollo.io/v1/organizations/enrich', (req, res, ctx) => { return res( ctx.json({ organization: { name: 'Test Company', domain: 'test.com', industry: 'Technology', }, }) ); }), ]; ``` ### Step 4: Development Scripts ```json { "scripts": { "dev": "NODE_ENV=development tsx watch src/index.ts", "dev:mock": "MOCK_APOLLO=true npm run dev", "test:apollo": "vitest run src/**/*.apollo.test.ts", "apollo:quota": "tsx scripts/check-apollo-quota.ts" } } ``` ### Step 5: Quota Monitoring Script ```typescript // scripts/check-apollo-quota.ts import { apolloClient } from '../src/lib/apollo-dev'; async function checkQuota() { try { const { data } = await apolloClient.get('/auth/health'); console.log('API Status:', data); // Note: Apollo doesn't expose quota directly, track usage manually } catch (error: any) { if (error.response?.status === 429) { console.error('Rate limited! Wait before making more requests.'); } } } checkQuota(); ``` ## Output - Environment file structure (.env, .env.example) - Development client with logging interceptors - Mock server for testing without API calls - npm scripts for development workflow - Quota monitoring utility ## Error Handling | Error | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | Missing API Key | .env not loaded | Run `source .env` or use dotenv | | Mock Not Working | MSW not configured | Ensure setupServer is called | | Rate Limited in Dev | Too many test calls | Use mock server for tests | | Stale Credentials | Key rotated | Update .env with new key | ## Examples ### Watch Mode Development ```bash # Terminal 1: Run dev server with watch npm run dev # Terminal 2: Test API calls curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/apollo/search \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"domain": "stripe.com"}' ``` ### Testing with Mocks ```typescript // src/services/apollo.apollo.test.ts import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll, afterAll } from 'vitest'; import { setupServer } from 'msw/node'; import { apolloHandlers } from '../mocks/apollo-mock'; import { searchPeople } from './apollo'; const server = setupServer(...apolloHandlers); beforeAll(() => server.listen()); afterAll(() => server.close()); describe('Apollo Service', () => { it('searches for people', async () => { const results = await searchPeople({ domain: 'test.com' }); expect(results.people).toHaveLength(1); expect(results.people[0].name).toBe('Test User'); }); }); ``` ## Resources - [MSW (Mock Service Worker)](https://mswjs.io/) - [Vitest Testing Framework](https://vitest.dev/) - [dotenv Documentation](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv) ## Next Steps Proceed to `apollo-sdk-patterns` for production-ready code patterns.
