Bolt.new AI and Atom integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2025

 

Setting Up the Dependency in package.json

 

• Open your project’s package.json file. Since Bolt.new AI does not offer terminal access, include the needed dependency directly in the file. Add the following dependency to the "dependencies" section. This example assumes that there is a fictitious package named atom-api that provides integration with Atom.

  
  {
    "name": "bolt-ai-project",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "dependencies": {
      "atom-api": "^1.0.0"
      // ... other dependencies
    }
  }
      

• Save the file. Bolt.new AI will automatically install the dependency when the project loads.

 

Creating the Atom Integration Module

 

• In your project directory, create a new TypeScript file to encapsulate the Atom integration logic. For example, create a folder called integrations (if it doesn’t already exist) and inside it create a file named atomIntegration.ts.
• In atomIntegration.ts, add the following code snippet. This code imports the Atom client from the atom-api package, creates a class to manage the integration, and defines methods to connect and send data to Atom.

  
  import { AtomClient } from 'atom-api';
  
  export class AtomIntegration {
    private client: AtomClient;
    constructor(apiKey: string) {
      // Initialize the AtomClient with your API key
      this.client = new AtomClient(apiKey);
    }
    public async connect(): Promise {
      try {
        // Initialize the connection to Atom
        await this.client.initialize();
        console.log("Connected to Atom successfully");
      } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error connecting to Atom:", error);
      }
    }
    public async sendData(data: any): Promise {
      try {
        // Send data to Atom
        await this.client.send(data);
        console.log("Data sent to Atom");
      } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error sending data to Atom:", error);
      }
    }
  }
      

  
  


• 
  Save the file.
  

 

Integrating Atom Module into Your Main Application

 

• Locate your main application file (for example, index.ts in the root or src folder).
• At the top of your main file, import the Atom integration module and instantiate it. Add the following snippet where you initialize other services:

  
  import { AtomIntegration } from './integrations/atomIntegration';
  
  // Retrieve the Atom API key from environment variables or substitute your key directly here
  const atomApiKey = process.env.ATOMAPIKEY || 'your-atom-api-key';
  // Initialize the Atom integration
  const atomIntegration = new AtomIntegration(atomApiKey);
  // Connect to Atom when the application starts
  atomIntegration.connect();
  // Example: sending data to Atom after processing
  async function processAndSendData() {
    const data = { message: "Hello from Bolt.new AI" };
    await atomIntegration.sendData(data);
  }
  processAndSendData();
      

  
  


• 
  Save the changes. This code will connect to Atom and send data as part of your application’s flow.
  

 

Configuring Environment Variables

 

• Since Bolt.new AI uses secrets management instead of a terminal, use the platform’s configuration interface to set your ATOMAPIKEY. Go to the settings or secrets section in your Bolt.new AI project and add a new secret with the key ATOMAPIKEY and your Atom API key as its value.
• The code you added earlier retrieves this key using process.env.ATOMAPIKEY.

 

Final Notes

 

• Ensure that your file structure resembles the following:

  
  project-root/
  │
  ├── package.json
  ├── src/ (or your main code folder)
  │   └── index.ts
  └── integrations/
      └── atomIntegration.ts
      

• Once everything is saved, Bolt.new AI will load your project with the new dependency and integration code.
