Exa Upgrade & Migration

Current State

!npm list exa-js 2>/dev/null | grep exa-js || echo 'exa-js not installed' !npm view exa-js version 2>/dev/null || echo 'cannot check latest'

Overview

Guide for upgrading the exa-js SDK. The SDK import is import Exa from "exa-js" and the client is instantiated with new Exa(apiKey). This skill covers checking for updates, handling breaking changes, and validating after upgrade.

Instructions

Step 1: Check Current vs Latest Version

set -euo pipefail
echo "Current version:"
npm list exa-js 2>/dev/null || echo "Not installed"

echo ""
echo "Latest available:"
npm view exa-js version

echo ""
echo "Changelog:"
npm view exa-js repository.url

Step 2: Create Upgrade Branch

set -euo pipefail
git checkout -b upgrade/exa-js-latest
npm install exa-js@latest
npm test

Step 3: Verify API Compatibility

import Exa from "exa-js";

async function verifyUpgrade() {
  const exa = new Exa(process.env.EXA_API_KEY);
  const checks = [];

  // Check 1: Basic search
  try {
    const r = await exa.search(, { :  });
    checks.({ : , : , : r.. });
  }  (: ) {
    checks.({ : , : , : err. });
  }

  
   {
     r =  exa.(, {
      : ,
      : { :  },
      : { :  },
    });
    checks.({
      : ,
      : ,
      : !!r.[]?.,
      : !!r.[]?.,
    });
  }  (: ) {
    checks.({ : , : , : err. });
  }

  
   {
     r =  exa.(, { :  });
    checks.({ : , : , : r.. });
  }  (: ) {
    checks.({ : , : , : err. });
  }

  
   {
     r =  exa.([], { :  });
    checks.({ : , : , : !!r.[]?. });
  }  (: ) {
    checks.({ : , : , : err. });
  }

  .(checks);
   allPassed = checks.( c. === );
  .();
   allPassed;
}
