Overview
Guide for upgrading Gamma SDK versions and migrating between API versions safely.
Prerequisites
Existing Gamma integration
Version control (git)
Test environment available
Instructions
Step 1: Check Current Version
set -euo pipefail
# Node.js
npm list @gamma/sdk
# Python
pip show gamma-sdk
# Check for available updates
npm outdated @gamma/sdk
Step 2: Review Changelog
set -euo pipefail
# View changelog
npm info @gamma/sdk changelog
# Or visit
# https://gamma.app/docs/changelog
Step 3: Upgrade SDK
set -euo pipefail
# Create upgrade branch
git checkout -b feat/gamma-sdk-upgrade
# Node.js - upgrade to latest
npm install @gamma/sdk@latest
# Python - upgrade to latest
pip install --upgrade gamma-sdk
# Or specific version
npm install @gamma/[email protected]
Step 4: Handle Breaking Changes
Common Migration Patterns:
// v1.x -> v2.x: Client initialization change
// Before (v1)
import Gamma from '@gamma/sdk';
const gamma = new Gamma(apiKey);
// After (v2)
import { GammaClient } from '@gamma/sdk';
const gamma = new GammaClient({ apiKey });
// v1.x -> v2.x: Response format change
// Before (v1)
const result = await gamma.createPresentation({ title: 'Test' });
console.log(result.id);
// After (v2)
const result = await gamma.presentations.create({ title: 'Test' });
console.log(result.data.id);
// v1.x -> v2.x: Error handling change
// Before (v1)
try {
await gamma.create({ ... });
} catch (e) {
if (e.code === 'RATE_LIMIT') { ... }
}
// After (v2)
import { RateLimitError } from '@gamma/sdk';
try {
await gamma.presentations.create({ ... });
} catch (e) {
if (e instanceof RateLimitError) { ... }
}
Step 5: Update Type Definitions
// Check for type changes
// tsconfig.json - ensure strict mode catches issues
{
"compilerOptions": {
"strict": true,
"noImplicitAny": true
}
}
// Run type check
npx tsc --noEmit
Step 6: Test Thoroughly
set -euo pipefail
# Run unit tests
npm test
# Run integration tests
npm run test:integration
# Manual smoke test
node -e "
const { GammaClient } = require('@gamma/sdk');
const g = new GammaClient({ apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY });
g.ping().then(() => console.log('OK')).catch(console.error);
"
set -euo pipefail
# If issues occur after upgrade
git checkout main
npm install # Restores previous version from lock file
# Or explicitly downgrade
npm install @gamma/[email protected]
