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

 

Setting Up Bandwidth Dependencies

 

• Since Bolt.new AI doesn't provide a terminal for installing dependencies, you need to add the Bandwidth SDK code manually. In your project, create a new TypeScript file named bandwidthIntegration.ts.
• If the Bandwidth SDK is available as a standalone script, copy its contents into this file. Otherwise, you may copy the minimal code required for our integration as shown below.

 

Creating the Bandwidth Integration File

 

• Create a new file called bandwidthIntegration.ts in your project’s root folder.
• Insert the following TypeScript code snippet into the file. This code sets up a basic client using environment variables for your Bandwidth credentials and includes a function to send an SMS message.

/* 
  IMPORTANT: Since Bolt.new AI does not provide a terminal to install packages, if you have the Bandwidth SDK’s TypeScript/JavaScript code,
  paste it here or ensure that the necessary functions are available. For this example, we assume minimal required code for sending an SMS.
  Make sure to replace the following placeholder code with your actual Bandwidth SDK integration if needed.
*/

interface BandwidthConfig {
  userId: string;
  apiToken: string;
  apiSecret: string;
  messagingApplicationId: string;
}

class BandwidthClient {
  private config: BandwidthConfig;

  constructor(config: BandwidthConfig) {
    this.config = config;
  }

  async sendSMS(params: { to: string; from: string; text: string }): Promise {
    // Simulate SMS sending. Replace this with actual Bandwidth API call.
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      console.log('Sending SMS with params:', params);
      // Simulate successful response after 1 second.
      setTimeout(() => {
        resolve({ message: 'Message sent', params });
      }, 1000);
    });
  }
}

// Initialize the BandwidthClient with your credentials.
// Replace these values with your actual environment variable retrieval if necessary.
const bandwidthClient = new BandwidthClient({
  userId: process.env.BANDWIDTHUSERID || 'youruserid',
  apiToken: process.env.BANDWIDTHAPITOKEN || 'yourapitoken',
  apiSecret: process.env.BANDWIDTHAPISECRET || 'yourapisecret',
  messagingApplicationId: process.env.BANDWIDTHMESSAGINGAPPID || 'yourmessagingappid'
});

export async function sendSMS(to: string, from: string, text: string): Promise {
  try {
    const result = await bandwidthClient.sendSMS({ to, from, text });
    console.log('SMS sent successfully:', result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error sending SMS:', error);
  }
}

 

Integrating Bandwidth Functions into Bolt.new AI Project

 

• Open your project’s main TypeScript file where you want to trigger SMS sending. This could be main.ts or another entry point file.
• Import the sendSMS function from bandwidthIntegration.ts at the top of your file.
• Add the function call where appropriate in your project logic to send an SMS when needed.

// In your main TypeScript file (e.g., main.ts), add the following import at the top:
import { sendSMS } from "./bandwidthIntegration";

// Example function that triggers sending an SMS
async function notifyUser() {
  // Replace with the actual phone numbers and message content.
  const recipient = '+1234567890'; 
  const sender = '+0987654321';
  const message = 'Hello from your Bolt.new AI project integrated with Bandwidth!';
  
  await sendSMS(recipient, sender, message);
}

// Call the notifyUser function as part of your app logic
notifyUser();

// You could also bind this function to specific events in your project

 

Configuring Environment Variables in Bolt.new AI

 

• Since you cannot use a terminal to set environment variables, include them directly in your project for testing purposes.
• You can modify the bandwidthIntegration.ts file to hardcode your credentials or mimic environment variable retrieval using another configuration file if Bolt.new AI supports it.
• For production, ensure you secure your credentials appropriately.

 

Final Steps

 

• Review your project structure to ensure that bandwidthIntegration.ts is in the correct directory (usually the root or a designated services folder).
• Double-check that the import paths in your main file (e.g., main.ts) correctly point to the bandwidthIntegration.ts file.
• Test your integration by running your Bolt.new AI project. You should see console logs indicating that the SMS has been "sent" according to the simulated Bandwidth client.

 

Summary

 

• You created a new file bandwidthIntegration.ts to encapsulate the Bandwidth API integration code.
• You embedded the necessary code to simulate the Bandwidth SDK functionalities.
• You imported and used the integration function in your main application file.
• You configured environment variables directly in code given the terminal limitations of Bolt.new AI.
