🚀 Quick Start

Dependency Management

📋 System Requirements

Package	Version Requirement	Auto Install	Purpose
@ant-design/x-sdk	≥2.2.2	✅	Core SDK, includes XRequest tool

🛠️ One-click Installation

# Recommended to use tnpm
tnpm install @ant-design/x-sdk

# Or use npm
npm add @ant-design/x-sdk

# Check version
npm ls @ant-design/x-sdk

Basic Configuration

Simplest Usage

import { XRequest } from '@ant-design/x-sdk';

// Minimal configuration: only need to provide API URL
const request = XRequest('https://api.example.com/chat');

// For manual control (used in Provider scenarios)
const providerRequest = XRequest('https://api.example.com/chat', {
  manual: true, // Usually only this needs explicit configuration
});

💡 Tip: XRequest has built-in reasonable default configurations. In most cases, you only need to provide the API URL to use it.

🛡️ Security Guide

Environment Security Configuration

🌍 Security Strategies for Different Environments

Runtime Environment	Security Level	Configuration Method	Risk Description
Browser Frontend	🔴 High Risk	❌ Prohibit key configuration	Keys will be directly exposed to users
Node.js Backend	🟢 Safe	✅ Environment variable configuration	Keys stored on server side
Proxy Service	🟢 Safe	✅ Same-origin proxy forwarding	Keys managed by proxy service

🔐 Authentication Methods Comparison

Authentication Method	Applicable Environment	Configuration Example	Security
Bearer Token	Node.js	Bearer ${process.env.API_KEY}	✅ Safe
API Key Header	Node.js	X-API-Key: ${process.env.KEY}	✅ Safe
Proxy Forwarding	Browser	/api/proxy/service	✅ Safe
Direct Configuration	Browser	Bearer sk-xxx	❌ Dangerous

🔍 Debugging and Testing

Debug Configuration

🛠️ Debug Templates

Node.js Debug Configuration:

// Safe debug configuration (Node.js environment)
const debugRequest = XRequest('https://your-api.com/chat', {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.DEBUG_API_KEY}`,
  },
  params: { query: 'test message' },
});

Frontend Debug Configuration:

// Safe debug configuration (frontend environment)
const debugRequest = XRequest('/api/debug/chat', {
  params: { query: 'test message' },
});

Configuration Validation

✅ Security Check Tools

// Security configuration validation function
const validateSecurity = (config: any) => {
  const isBrowser = typeof window !== 'undefined';
  const hasAuth = config.headers?.Authorization || config.headers?.authorization;

  if (isBrowser && hasAuth) {
    throw new Error(
      '❌ Frontend environment prohibits Authorization configuration, risk of key leakage!',
    );
  }

  console.log('✅ Security configuration check passed');
  return true;
};

// Usage example
validateSecurity({
  headers: {
    // Do not include Authorization
  },
});

📋 Usage Scenarios

Standalone Usage

🎯 Direct Request Initiation

import { XRequest } from '@ant-design/x-sdk';

// Test interface availability
const testRequest = XRequest('https://httpbin.org/post', {
  params: { test: 'data' },
});

// Send request immediately
const response = await testRequest();
console.log(response);

⚠️ useXChat Integration Security Warning

Important Warning: useXChat is only for frontend environments, XRequest configuration must not contain Authorization!

❌ Incorrect Configuration (Dangerous):

// Extremely dangerous: keys will be directly exposed to browser
const unsafeRequest = XRequest('https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions', {
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'Bearer sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', // ❌ Dangerous!
  },
  manual: true,
});

✅ Correct Configuration (Safe):

// Frontend security configuration: use proxy service
const safeRequest = XRequest('/api/proxy/openai', {
  params: {
    model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
    stream: true,
  },
  manual: true,
});

🚨 Development Rules

Test Case Rules

• If the user does not explicitly need test cases, do not add test files
• Only create test cases when the user explicitly requests them

Code Quality Rules

• After completion, must check types: Run tsc --noEmit to ensure no type errors
• Keep code clean: Remove all unused variables and imports

✅ Configuration Checklist

Before using XRequest, please confirm the following configurations are correctly set:

🔍 Configuration Checklist

Check Item	Status	Description
API URL	✅ Must Configure	XRequest('https://api.xxx.com')
Auth Info	⚠️ Environment Related	Frontend❌Prohibited, Node.js✅Available
manual Config	✅ Provider Scenario	In Provider needs to be set to true, other scenarios need to be set according to actual situation
Other Config	❌ No Need to Configure	Built-in reasonable default values
Interface Availability	✅ Recommended Test	Verify with debug configuration

🛠️ Quick Verification Script

// Check configuration before running
const checkConfig = () => {
  const checks = [
    {
      name: 'Global Configuration',
      test: () => {
        // Check if global configuration has been set
        return true; // Check according to actual situation
      },
    },
    {
      name: 'Security Configuration',
      test: () => validateSecurity(globalConfig),
    },
    {
      name: 'Type Check',
      test: () => {
        // Run tsc --noEmit
        return true;
      },
    },
  ];

  checks.forEach((check) => {
    console.log(`${check.name}: ${check.test() ? '✅' : '❌'}`);
  });
};
