Lokalise SDK Patterns

Overview

Production-ready patterns for Lokalise SDK usage in TypeScript and Node.js applications.

Prerequisites

• Completed lokalise-install-auth setup
• Familiarity with async/await and TypeScript
• Understanding of error handling best practices

Instructions

1. For full implementation details, load: Read(${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation-guide.md)

Output

• Type-safe client singleton with compression
• Robust error handling with retryable detection
• Rate-limited request queue
• Automatic retry with exponential backoff
• Cursor pagination for large datasets

Error Handling

Examples

Branch-Aware Client

export function getProjectWithBranch(projectId: string, branch?: string): string {
  // Lokalise branch syntax: projectId:branchName
  return branch ? `${projectId}:${branch}` : projectId;
}

// Usage
const projectId = getProjectWithBranch("123456.abcdef", "feature/new-ui");
const keys = await client.keys().list({ project_id: projectId });
