This allows you to: + +- Keep API keys secure (stored in Developer Hub Advanced Settings) +- Avoid CORS issues +- Use variable substitution for credentials + +### Basic Usage + +```typescript +// Make API request through Contentstack proxy +const response = await appSdk.api("/external-api/endpoint", { + method: "POST", + headers: { + "x-api-key": "{{var.API_KEY}}", // Variable substitution + "Content-Type": "application/json", + }, + body: JSON.stringify(data), +}); + +const data = await response.json(); +``` + +### Variable Substitution + +Variables are configured in Developer Hub Advanced Settings and automatically substituted: + +```typescript +// In your code +headers: { + "x-api-key": "{{var.API_KEY}}", + "authorization": "Bearer {{var.ACCESS_TOKEN}}", +} + +// Contentstack replaces with actual values from Advanced Settings +``` + +### API Rewrites + +Configure URL rewrites in Developer Hub Advanced Settings: + +- **Pattern**: `/external-api/*` +- **Target**: `https://api.example.com/*` + +This allows you to use relative paths in your code while Contentstack proxies to the actual API. + +### Complete Example + +```typescript +async function callExternalAPI(prompt: string) { + const appSdk = useAppSdk(); + + try { + const response = await appSdk.api( + "/genai/gemini-2.5-flash-image:generateContent", + { + method: "POST", + headers: { + "x-goog-api-key": "{{var.GEMINI_API_KEY}}", + "Content-Type": "application/json", + }, + body: JSON.stringify({ + contents: [ + { + parts: [ + { text: prompt }, + { inline_data: { mime_type: "image/jpeg", data: base64Image } }, + ], + }, + ], + }), + } + ); + + if (!response.ok) { + throw new Error(`API error: ${response.status}`); + } + + return await response.json(); + } catch (error) { + console.error("API call failed:", error); + throw error; + } +} +``` + +--- + +## Frame Management + +Control the iframe dimensions to ensure your app displays correctly: + +```typescript +const appSdk = useAppSdk(); + +// Auto-resize iframe based on content +appSdk.location.frame?.autoResizeFrame(); + +// Set specific height +appSdk.location.frame?.setFrameHeight(400); + +// Enable auto-resize with options +appSdk.location.frame?.enableAutoResizing({ + height: true, + width: false, +}); +``` + +**Best Practice**: Use `autoResizeFrame()` for dynamic content that changes height. + +--- + +## Accessing Configuration + +### Get App Configuration + +```typescript +const appSdk = useAppSdk(); + +// Get configuration (set in App Configuration location) +const config = await appSdk.getConfig(); +console.log(config.apiKey); +console.log(config.enabled); +``` + +### Get Stack Information + +```typescript +const appSdk = useAppSdk(); +const stack = appSdk.stack; + +console.log(stack.getApiKey()); +console.log(stack.getName()); +console.log(stack.getUid()); +``` + +--- + +## Development Workflow + +### 1.

Configure in Developer Hub + +1. **Create App**: + + - Go to Contentstack Developer Hub + - Click "Create App" + - Fill in app details (name, description, icon) + +2. **Set Base URL**: + + - Set base URL to `http://localhost:3000` (for development) + - Or use tunneling service (ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel) for HTTPS + +3. **Configure UI Locations**: + + - Add UI locations you want to support + - Set route paths (e.g., `/asset-sidebar`) + +4. **Configure Advanced Settings** (if needed): + - **API Rewrites**: Add rewrite rules for external APIs + - **Variables**: Add variables for API keys (accessed via `{{var.NAME}}`) + +### 3. Install and Test + +1. **Install App**: + + - Go to your test stack + - Navigate to Apps + - Install your app + +2. **Test Locations**: + - Open Asset Library → View asset → Check sidebar + - Edit entry → Check sidebar + - Go to Dashboard → Check widget + - Configure app settings → Check config page + +### 4. Building for Production + +```bash +npm run build +``` + +Outputs to `dist/` directory. + +### 5. Deploy + +1. Deploy `dist/` folder to hosting provider (Vercel, Netlify, AWS, etc.) +2.
