Guide Title

Brief introduction explaining what this guide covers, what developers will learn, and what they’ll be able to build after completing it.

​
Prerequisites

Before starting this guide, make sure you have:
  • [Prerequisite 1] - Brief explanation
  • [Prerequisite 2] - Brief explanation
  • [Prerequisite 3] - Brief explanation

​
What You’ll Build

In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
  • [Learning objective 1]
  • [Learning objective 2]
  • [Learning objective 3]
By the end, you’ll have a [description of final result].

​
Step 1: Setup and Installation

​
Install Dependencies

npm install @spark/sdk @partner/client

​
Environment Configuration

Create a .env file with your credentials: 
SPARK_API_KEY=your_spark_api_key
PARTNER_API_KEY=your_partner_api_key
SPARK_NETWORK=testnet

​
Initialize the Client

import { SparkClient } from '@spark/sdk'
import { PartnerClient } from '@partner/client'

const sparkClient = new SparkClient({
  apiKey: process.env.SPARK_API_KEY,
  network: process.env.SPARK_NETWORK
})

const partnerClient = new PartnerClient({
  apiKey: process.env.PARTNER_API_KEY
})

​
Step 2: [Core Functionality]

​
Understanding the Concept

[Explain the core concept or functionality being implemented]

​
Implementation

// Example implementation code
async function implementCoreFunctionality() {
  try {
    // Step-by-step implementation
    const result = await sparkClient.someMethod({
      // configuration
    })
    
    console.log('Success:', result)
    return result
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error)
    throw error
  }
}

​
Error Handling

// Proper error handling example
try {
  const result = await implementCoreFunctionality()
} catch (error) {
  if (error.code === 'SPECIFIC_ERROR') {
    // Handle specific error case
  } else {
    // Handle general error case
  }
}

​
Step 3: [Advanced Features]

​
Feature Overview

[Explain advanced features or optimizations]

​
Implementation

// Advanced implementation
class AdvancedImplementation {
  constructor(private sparkClient: SparkClient, private partnerClient: PartnerClient) {}
  
  async advancedFeature() {
    // Implementation details
  }
}

​
Step 4: Testing and Validation

​
Unit Testing

import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest'

describe('Core Functionality', () => {
  it('should implement basic functionality', async () => {
    const result = await implementCoreFunctionality()
    expect(result).toBeDefined()
  })
})

​
Integration Testing

describe('Integration Tests', () => {
  it('should work with partner integration', async () => {
    // Test integration with partner service
  })
})

​
Step 5: Deployment and Production

​
Production Configuration

const productionConfig = {
  apiKey: process.env.PRODUCTION_SPARK_API_KEY,
  network: 'mainnet',
  timeout: 30000,
  retries: 3
}

​
Monitoring and Logging

import { Logger } from '@spark/sdk'

const logger = new Logger({
  level: 'info',
  service: 'your-service-name'
})

// Use logger throughout your application
logger.info('Operation completed successfully')

​
Troubleshooting

​
Common Issues

Problem: Getting authentication errors when making API calls.Solution:
  1. Verify your API key is correct
  2. Check that your API key has the required permissions
  3. Ensure you’re using the correct network (testnet/mainnet)
Problem: Receiving rate limit errors.Solution:
  1. Implement exponential backoff
  2. Add request queuing
  3. Consider upgrading your API plan

​
Debug Mode

Enable debug logging to troubleshoot issues: 
const client = new SparkClient({
  apiKey: process.env.SPARK_API_KEY,
  debug: true,
  logLevel: 'debug'
})

​
Best Practices

  • Security: Always store API keys in environment variables
  • Error Handling: Implement comprehensive error handling
  • Rate Limiting: Respect API rate limits and implement backoff
  • Testing: Write tests for all critical functionality
  • Monitoring: Implement proper logging and monitoring

​
Next Steps

Now that you’ve completed this guide, you can:
  • [Next step 1] - Link to related guide or documentation
  • [Next step 2] - Link to advanced topics
  • [Next step 3] - Link to integration examples
