Development Tools & SDKs

Core Development Kit

Zzyra provides a comprehensive SDK for building custom blocks and integrations:
import { BlockHandler, BlockMetadata, ExecutionContext } from "@zzyra/sdk";

export class CustomBlock extends BlockHandler {
  getMetadata(): BlockMetadata {
    return {
      id: "my-custom-block",
      name: "Custom Function",
      description: "My custom automation block",
      category: "custom",
      inputs: [
        {
          name: "inputData",
          type: "string",
          required: true,
          description: "Input data to process",
        },
      ],
      outputs: [
        {
          name: "result",
          type: "object",
          description: "Processed result",
        },
      ],
      configFields: [
        {
          name: "apiKey",
          type: "string",
          label: "API Key",
          required: true,
          description: "External service API key",
        },
      ],
    };
  }

  async execute(
    inputs: any,
    config: any,
    context: ExecutionContext
  ): Promise<any> {
    // Your custom logic here
    const result = await this.processData(inputs.inputData, config.apiKey);

    // Log execution for debugging
    await context.logger.info("Custom block executed successfully", { result });

    return { result };
  }
}

AI-Assisted Development

Leverage Zzyra’s AI to accelerate development:
1

Describe Your Block

Use natural language to describe the functionality you want to build: "Create a block that monitors Uniswap V3 liquidity positions and alerts when impermanent loss exceeds 5%"
2

AI Code Generation

Zzyra’s AI generates TypeScript code with proper error handling, input validation, and documentation
3

Customize & Test

Modify the generated code, add your business logic, and test with Zzyra’s simulation tools
4

Deploy & Share

Deploy your block to the Zzyra marketplace or keep it private for your organization

Development Environment Setup

API Reference

Core SDK Classes

abstract class BlockHandler {
  abstract getMetadata(): BlockMetadata;
  abstract execute(
    inputs: any, 
    config: any, 
    context: ExecutionContext
  ): Promise<any>;
  
  validate(inputs: any, config: any): ValidationResult;
  onError(error: Error, context: ExecutionContext): Promise<void>;
}

Web3 Integration

import { ethers } from "ethers";

class Web3Block extends BlockHandler {
  async execute(inputs: any, config: any, context: ExecutionContext) {
    // Get Web3 provider for specific chain
    const provider = await context.web3.getProvider("ethereum");

    // Create contract instance
    const contract = new ethers.Contract(
      inputs.contractAddress,
      inputs.abi,
      provider
    );

    // Execute contract call
    const result = await contract[inputs.methodName](...inputs.parameters);

    return { result: result.toString() };
  }
}

AI Integration

class AIBlock extends BlockHandler {
  async execute(inputs: any, config: any, context: ExecutionContext) {
    // Use Zzyra's AI provider
    const aiResponse = await context.ai.generate({
      prompt: inputs.prompt,
      model: config.model || "gpt-4",
      temperature: config.temperature || 0.7,
    });

    return {
      response: aiResponse.text,
      tokens: aiResponse.usage,
    };
  }
}

Testing & Quality Assurance

Testing Framework

Zzyra provides comprehensive testing tools:
import { BlockTester, TestCase } from "@zzyra/sdk/testing";

describe("My Custom Block", () => {
  let tester: BlockTester;

  beforeEach(() => {
    tester = new BlockTester(new MyCustomBlock());
  });

  it("should process input correctly", async () => {
    const testCase: TestCase = {
      inputs: { data: "test input" },
      config: { apiKey: "test-key" },
      expectedOutputs: { result: "processed result" },
    };

    const result = await tester.run(testCase);
    expect(result.success).toBe(true);
    expect(result.outputs.result).toBe("processed result");
  });

  it("should handle errors gracefully", async () => {
    const testCase: TestCase = {
      inputs: { data: "invalid input" },
      config: { apiKey: "invalid-key" },
      expectError: true,
    };

    const result = await tester.run(testCase);
    expect(result.success).toBe(false);
    expect(result.error).toBeDefined();
  });
});

Best Practices

Development Guidelines

Always implement comprehensive error handling with meaningful error messages and graceful degradation.
Optimize for speed and efficiency, especially for frequently executed blocks. Use caching and batch processing where appropriate.
Never expose sensitive data in logs or error messages. Use secure credential management and validate all inputs.
Design blocks with clear, intuitive interfaces. Provide helpful error messages and comprehensive documentation.

Common Patterns

// Retry pattern for external API calls
async function withRetry<T>(
  operation: () => Promise<T>,
  maxRetries: number = 3
): Promise<T> {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      return await operation();
    } catch (error) {
      if (i === maxRetries - 1) throw error;
      await new Promise((resolve) =>
        setTimeout(resolve, 1000 * Math.pow(2, i))
      );
    }
  }
}

// Caching pattern for expensive operations
async function withCache<T>(
  key: string,
  operation: () => Promise<T>,
  ttl: number = 300000
): Promise<T> {
  const cached = await context.cache.get(key);
  if (cached) return cached;

  const result = await operation();
  await context.cache.set(key, result, ttl);
  return result;
}
