# Replit SDK Patterns
## Overview
Production-ready patterns for Replit SDK usage in TypeScript and Python.
## Prerequisites
- Completed `replit-install-auth` setup
- Familiarity with async/await patterns
- Understanding of error handling best practices
## Instructions
### Step 1: Implement Singleton Pattern (Recommended)
```typescript
// src/replit/client.ts
import { ReplitClient } from '@replit/sdk';
let instance: ReplitClient | null = null;
export function getReplitClient(): ReplitClient {
if (!instance) {
instance = new ReplitClient({
apiKey: process.env.REPLIT_API_KEY!,
// Additional options
});
}
return instance;
}
```
### Step 2: Add Error Handling Wrapper
```typescript
import { ReplitError } from '@replit/sdk';
async function safeReplitCall(
operation: () => Promise
): Promise<{ data: T | null; error: Error | null }> {
try {
const data = await operation();
return { data, error: null };
} catch (err) {
if (err instanceof ReplitError) {
console.error({
code: err.code,
message: err.message,
});
}
return { data: null, error: err as Error };
}
}
```
### Step 3: Implement Retry Logic
```typescript
async function withRetry(
operation: () => Promise,
maxRetries = 3,
backoffMs = 1000
): Promise {
for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= maxRetries; attempt++) {
try {
return await operation();
} catch (err) {
if (attempt === maxRetries) throw err;
const delay = backoffMs * Math.pow(2, attempt - 1);
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delay));
}
}
throw new Error('Unreachable');
}
```
## Output
- Type-safe client singleton
- Robust error handling with structured logging
- Automatic retry with exponential backoff
- Runtime validation for API responses
## Error Handling
| Pattern | Use Case | Benefit |
|---------|----------|---------|
| Safe wrapper | All API calls | Prevents uncaught exceptions |
| Retry logic | Transient failures | Improves reliability |
| Type guards | Response validation | Catches API changes |
| Logging | All operations | Debugging and monitoring |
## Examples
### Factory Pattern (Multi-tenant)
```typescript
const clients = new Map();
export function getClientForTenant(tenantId: string): ReplitClient {
if (!clients.has(tenantId)) {
const apiKey = getTenantApiKey(tenantId);
clients.set(tenantId, new ReplitClient({ apiKey }));
}
return clients.get(tenantId)!;
}
```
### Python Context Manager
```python
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from replit import ReplitClient
@asynccontextmanager
async def get_replit_client():
client = ReplitClient()
try:
yield client
finally:
await client.close()
```
### Zod Validation
```typescript
import { z } from 'zod';
const replitResponseSchema = z.object({
id: z.string(),
status: z.enum(['active', 'inactive']),
createdAt: z.string().datetime(),
});
```
