Lokalise SDK Patterns
Overview
Production-ready patterns for Lokalise SDK usage in TypeScript and Node.js applications.
Prerequisites
- Completed
lokalise-install-authsetup - Familiarity with async/await and TypeScript
- Understanding of error handling best practices
Instructions
- For full implementation details, load:
Read(${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation-guide.md)
Output
- Type-safe client singleton with compression
- Robust error handling with retryable detection
- Rate-limited request queue
- Automatic retry with exponential backoff
- Cursor pagination for large datasets
Error Handling
| Pattern | Use Case | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Safe wrapper | All API calls | Prevents uncaught exceptions |
| Request queue | Bulk operations | Respects rate limits |
| Retry logic | Transient failures | Improves reliability |
| Pagination | Large datasets | Memory efficient |
Examples
Branch-Aware Client
export function getProjectWithBranch(projectId: string, branch?: string): string {
// Lokalise branch syntax: projectId:branchName
return branch ? `${projectId}:${branch}` : projectId;
}
// Usage
const projectId = getProjectWithBranch("123456.abcdef", "feature/new-ui");
const keys = await client.keys().list({ project_id: projectId });
