# Lindy Local Dev Loop ## Overview Configure efficient local development workflow for Lindy AI agent development. ## Prerequisites - Completed `lindy-install-auth` setup - Node.js 18+ with npm/pnpm - Code editor with TypeScript support ## Instructions ### Step 1: Set Up Project Structure ```bash mkdir lindy-agents && cd lindy-agents npm init -y npm install @lindy-ai/sdk typescript ts-node dotenv npm install -D @types/node nodemon ``` ### Step 2: Configure TypeScript ```json // tsconfig.json { "compilerOptions": { "target": "ES2022", "module": "NodeNext", "moduleResolution": "NodeNext", "outDir": "./dist", "strict": true, "esModuleInterop": true }, "include": ["src/**/*"] } ``` ### Step 3: Create Development Script ```json // package.json scripts { "scripts": { "dev": "nodemon --exec ts-node src/index.ts", "build": "tsc", "start": "node dist/index.js", "test:agent": "ts-node src/test-agent.ts" } } ``` ### Step 4: Create Agent Test Harness ```typescript // src/test-agent.ts import 'dotenv/config'; import { Lindy } from '@lindy-ai/sdk'; const lindy = new Lindy({ apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY }); async function testAgent(agentId: string, input: string) { console.log(`Testing agent ${agentId} with: "${input}"`); const start = Date.now(); const result = await lindy.agents.run(agentId, { input }); console.log(`Response (${Date.now() - start}ms): ${result.output}`); return result; } // Run test testAgent(process.argv[2], process.argv[3] || 'Hello!'); ``` ## Output - Configured development environment - Hot reload enabled for agent code - Test harness for rapid iteration - TypeScript support with type checking ## Error Handling | Error | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | ts-node not found | Dev deps missing | `npm install -D ts-node` | | ENV not loaded | dotenv not configured | Add `import 'dotenv/config'` | | Type errors | Missing types | `npm install -D @types/node` | ## Examples ### Watch Mode Development ```bash # Start development with hot reload npm run dev # Test specific agent npm run test:agent agt_abc123 "Test input" ``` ### Environment Setup ```bash # .env file LINDY_API_KEY=your-api-key LINDY_ENVIRONMENT=development ``` ## Resources - [Lindy SDK Reference](https://docs.lindy.ai/sdk) - [TypeScript Best Practices](https://docs.lindy.ai/typescript) ## Next Steps Proceed to `lindy-sdk-patterns` for SDK best practices.
