Adobe SDK Patterns

Overview

Production-ready patterns for Adobe SDK usage across Firefly Services (@adobe/firefly-apis, @adobe/photoshop-apis, @adobe/lightroom-apis), PDF Services (@adobe/pdfservices-node-sdk), and direct REST API calls.

Prerequisites

• Completed adobe-install-auth setup
• Familiarity with async/await patterns
• Understanding of the Adobe API you are integrating

Instructions

Pattern 1: Singleton Auth Client with Token Caching

// src/adobe/client.ts
import { ServicePrincipalCredentials, PDFServices } from '@adobe/pdfservices-node-sdk';

let pdfServicesInstance: PDFServices | null = null;
let tokenCache: { token: string; expiresAt: number } | null = null;

export function getPDFServices(): PDFServices {
  if (!pdfServicesInstance) {
    const credentials = new ServicePrincipalCredentials({
      clientId: process.env.ADOBE_CLIENT_ID!,
      clientSecret: process.env.ADOBE_CLIENT_SECRET!,
    });
    pdfServicesInstance = new PDFServices({ credentials });
  }
  return pdfServicesInstance;
}

   (): <> {
   (tokenCache && tokenCache. > .() + ) {
     tokenCache.;
  }

   res =  (, {
    : ,
    : { :  },
    :  ({
      : process..!,
      : process..!,
      : ,
      : process..!,
    }),
  });

   (!res.)   ();
   data =  res.();
  tokenCache = { : data., : .() + data. *  };
   tokenCache.;
}
