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

 

Step 1: Create a New File for Yardi Integration

  Create a file named yardiClient.ts in your project’s root directory. In this file you will write the code to communicate with Yardi’s API. Since Bolt.new AI does not have a terminal, you need to load the axios library directly via a URL.

import axios from 'https://esm.sh/axios';

const YARDIAPIBASE = 'https://api.yardi.com/your-endpoint'; // Replace with the actual Yardi API endpoint
const YARDICLIENTID = process.env.YARDICLIENTID; // Set these in your Bolt.new Secrets (Environment variables)
const YARDICLIENTSECRET = process.env.YARDICLIENTSECRET;

export interface YardiResponse {
  // Define the expected response structure from Yardi API
  data: any;
}

export async function getYardiData(): Promise {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get(${YARDI_API_BASE}/data, { // Replace '/data' with the appropriate endpoint path
      headers: {
        'Authorization': Bearer ${YARDI_CLIENT_ID}:${YARDI_CLIENT_SECRET}  // Adjust the header format as needed
      }
    });
    return response.data;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching Yardi data:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

 

Step 2: Update Your Main Code to Use the Yardi Integration

  In your main project file (for example, index.ts or the file that initializes your Bolt.new AI project), import and use the function from yardiClient.ts. Insert the following snippet where you want to trigger the API call (for example, during project initialization or as a response to an event):

import { getYardiData } from './yardiClient';

(async () => {
  try {
    const data = await getYardiData();
    console.log("Data received from Yardi:", data);
    // Add further processing logic here if needed
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error occurred while retrieving Yardi data:", error);
  }
})();

 

Step 3: Configure Environment Variables for Yardi Credentials

  Since Bolt.new AI uses a secrets panel instead of a terminal for dependency installations, you should add your Yardi API credentials via the Secrets/Environment Variables section. Add the following keys:

// YARDICLIENTID: Your Yardi API client ID
// YARDICLIENTSECRET: Your Yardi API client secret

These will be automatically available in your code as process.env.YARDICLIENTID and process.env.YARDICLIENTSECRET.

 

Step 4: Review and Test Your Integration

  Once you have added the new file and updated your main code, review all changes to ensure that the correct endpoint, headers, and any parameters match the Yardi API specifications. Save your files and run your Bolt.new AI project using the built-in “Run” button. The console output should display the data received from Yardi or any errors encountered.

// Expected console output example:
// "Data received from Yardi:" followed by the API response

 

Step 5: Manage Dependency Installation via Code Imports

  Since Bolt.new AI does not support a terminal for dependency installation, you have imported axios directly from a CDN using the URL https://esm.sh/axios in your yardiClient.ts file. This ensures that the axios library is available during runtime without needing terminal commands.

// The import line in yardiClient.ts:
// import axios from 'https://esm.sh/axios';
