Exa Upgrade & Migration
Overview
Guide for upgrading Exa SDK versions and handling breaking changes.
Prerequisites
- Current Exa SDK installed
- Git for version control
- Test suite available
- Staging environment
Instructions
Step 1: Check Current Version
npm list @exa/sdk
npm view @exa/sdk version
Step 2: Review Changelog
open https://github.com/exa/sdk/releases
Step 3: Create Upgrade Branch
git checkout -b upgrade/exa-sdk-vX.Y.Z
npm install @exa/sdk@latest
npm test
Step 4: Handle Breaking Changes
Update import statements, configuration, and method signatures as needed.
Output
- Updated SDK version
- Fixed breaking changes
- Passing test suite
- Documented rollback procedure
Error Handling
| SDK Version | API Version | Node.js | Breaking Changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.x | 2024-01 | 18+ | Major refactor |
| 2.x | 2023-06 | 16+ | Auth changes |
| 1.x | 2022-01 | 14+ | Initial release |
Examples
Import Changes
// Before (v1.x)
import { Client } from '@exa/sdk';
// After (v2.x)
import { ExaClient } from '@exa/sdk';
Configuration Changes
// Before (v1.x)
const client = new Client({ key: 'xxx' });
// After (v2.x)
const client = new ExaClient({
apiKey: 'xxx',
});
Rollback Procedure
npm install @exa/sdk@1.x.x --save-exact
Deprecation Handling
// Monitor for deprecation warnings in development
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
process.on('warning', (warning) => {
if (warning.name === 'DeprecationWarning') {
console.warn('[Exa]', warning.message);
// Log to tracking system for proactive updates
}
});
}
// Common deprecation patterns to watch for:
// - Renamed methods: client.oldMethod() -> client.newMethod()
// - Changed parameters: { key: 'x' } -> { apiKey: 'x' }
// - Removed features: Check release notes before upgrading
