deepgram-local-dev-loop
Configure Deepgram local development workflow with testing and iteration. Use when setting up development environment, configuring test fixtures, or establishing rapid iteration patterns for Deepgram integration. Trigger with phrases like "deepgram local dev", "deepgram development setup", "deepgram test environment", "deepgram dev workflow".

Deepgram Local Dev Loop
Overview
Set up an efficient local development workflow for Deepgram integration with fast feedback cycles.
Prerequisites
- Completed
deepgram-install-authsetup - Node.js 18+ with npm/pnpm or Python 3.10+
- Sample audio files for testing
- Environment variables configured
Instructions
Step 1: Create Project Structure
bash
mkdir -p src tests fixtures
touch src/transcribe.ts tests/transcribe.test.ts
Step 2: Set Up Environment Files
bash
# .env.development
DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your-dev-api-key
DEEPGRAM_MODEL=nova-2
# .env.test
DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your-test-api-key
DEEPGRAM_MODEL=nova-2
Step 3: Create Test Fixtures
bash
# Download sample audio for testing
curl -o fixtures/sample.wav https://static.deepgram.com/examples/nasa-podcast.wav
Step 4: Set Up Watch Mode
json
{
"scripts": {
"dev": "tsx watch src/transcribe.ts",
"test": "vitest",
"test:watch": "vitest --watch"
}
}
Output
- Project structure with src, tests, fixtures directories
- Environment files for development and testing
- Watch mode scripts for rapid iteration
- Sample audio fixtures for testing
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fixture Not Found | Missing audio file | Run fixture download script |
| Env Not Loaded | dotenv not configured | Install and configure dotenv |
| Watch Mode Fails | Missing tsx | Install tsx: npm i -D tsx |
| API Rate Limited | Too many dev requests | Use cached responses in tests |
Examples
TypeScript Dev Setup
typescript
// src/transcribe.ts
import { createClient } from '@deepgram/sdk';
import { config } from 'dotenv';
config(); // Load .env
const deepgram = createClient(process.env.DEEPGRAM_API_KEY!);
export async function transcribeAudio(audioPath: string) {
const audio = await Bun.file(audioPath).arrayBuffer();
const { result, error } = await deepgram.listen.prerecorded.transcribeFile(
Buffer.from(audio),
{ model: process.env.DEEPGRAM_MODEL || 'nova-2', smart_format: true }
);
if (error) throw error;
return result.results.channels[0].alternatives[0].transcript;
}
// Dev mode: run with sample
if (import.meta.main) {
transcribeAudio('./fixtures/sample.wav').then(console.log);
}
Test Setup with Vitest
typescript
// tests/transcribe.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll } from 'vitest';
import { transcribeAudio } from '../src/transcribe';
describe('Deepgram Transcription', () => {
it('should transcribe audio file', async () => {
const transcript = await transcribeAudio('./fixtures/sample.wav');
expect(transcript).toBeDefined();
expect(transcript.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
});
it('should handle empty audio gracefully', async () => {
await expect(transcribeAudio('./fixtures/empty.wav'))
.rejects.toThrow();
});
});
Mock Responses for Testing
typescript
// tests/mocks/deepgram.ts
export const mockTranscriptResponse = {
results: {
channels: [{
alternatives: [{
transcript: 'This is a test transcript.',
confidence: 0.99,
words: [
{ word: 'This', start: 0.0, end: 0.2, confidence: 0.99 },
{ word: 'is', start: 0.2, end: 0.3, confidence: 0.99 },
]
}]
}]
}
};
