Gamma Local Dev Loop

Overview

Set up an efficient local development workflow for Gamma API integrations. Since Gamma is a REST API with no SDK, the dev loop centers on HTTP request/response testing, mock servers for offline development, and a reusable client wrapper.

Prerequisites

• Completed gamma-install-auth setup
• Node.js 18+ with tsx for TypeScript execution
• GAMMA_API_KEY in .env

Step 1: Project Structure

│   ├── generate.ts        # Generation workflows
│   └── poll.ts            # Polling helper
├── test/

Step 2: Reusable Client Wrapper

// src/client.ts
import "dotenv/config";

const GAMMA_BASE = "https://public-api.gamma.app/v1.0";

export interface GammaClient {
  generate(body: GenerateRequest): Promise<GenerateResponse>;
  poll(generationId: string): Promise<PollResponse>;
  listThemes(): Promise<Theme[]>;
  listFolders(): Promise<Folder[]>;
}

export function createClient(apiKey?: , ?: ):  {
   key = apiKey ?? process..;
   (!key)   ();
   base = baseUrl ?? ;
   headers = { : key, :  };

    () {
     res =  (, {
      method,
      headers,
      : body ? .(body) : ,
    });
     (!res.) {
       text =  res.();
        ();
    }
     res.();
  }

   {
    :  (, , body),
    :  (, ),
    :  (, ),
    :  (, ),
  };
}
