Gamma SDK Patterns
Overview
Learn idiomatic patterns and best practices for the Gamma SDK to build robust presentation automation.
Prerequisites
- Completed
gamma-local-dev-loopsetup - Familiarity with async/await patterns
- TypeScript recommended
Instructions
Pattern 1: Client Singleton
typescript
// lib/gamma.ts
import { GammaClient } from '@gamma/sdk';
let client: GammaClient | null = null;
export function getGammaClient(): GammaClient {
if (!client) {
client = new GammaClient({
apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY,
timeout: 30000,
retries: 3,
});
}
return client;
}
Pattern 2: Presentation Builder
typescript
// lib/presentation-builder.ts
import { getGammaClient } from './gamma';
interface SlideContent {
title: string;
content: string;
layout?: 'title' | 'content' | 'image' | 'split';
}
export class PresentationBuilder {
private slides: SlideContent[] = [];
private title: string = '';
private style: string = 'professional';
setTitle(title: string): this {
this.title = title;
return this;
}
addSlide(slide: SlideContent): this {
this.slides.push(slide);
return this;
}
setStyle(style: string): this {
this.style = style;
return this;
}
async build() {
const gamma = getGammaClient();
return gamma.presentations.create({
title: this.title,
slides: this.slides,
style: this.style,
});
}
}
Pattern 3: Error Handling Wrapper
typescript
// lib/safe-gamma.ts
import { GammaError } from '@gamma/sdk';
export async function safeGammaCall<T>(
fn: () => Promise<T>
): Promise<{ data: T; error: null } | { data: null; error: string }> {
try {
const data = await fn();
return { data, error: null };
} catch (err) {
if (err instanceof GammaError) {
return { data: null, error: err.message };
}
throw err;
}
}
Pattern 4: Template Factory
typescript
// lib/templates.ts
type TemplateType = 'pitch-deck' | 'report' | 'tutorial' | 'proposal';
const TEMPLATES: Record<TemplateType, object> = {
'pitch-deck': { slides: 10, style: 'bold' },
'report': { slides: 15, style: 'professional' },
'tutorial': { slides: 8, style: 'friendly' },
'proposal': { slides: 12, style: 'corporate' },
};
export function fromTemplate(type: TemplateType, title: string) {
return { ...TEMPLATES[type], title };
}
Output
- Reusable client singleton
- Fluent builder pattern
- Type-safe error handling
- Template factory system
Error Handling
| Pattern | Use Case | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Singleton | Multiple modules | Consistent config |
| Builder | Complex presentations | Readable code |
| Safe Call | Error boundaries | Graceful failures |
| Factory | Repeated templates | DRY code |
