How to integrate Lovable with Practo?

Step 1: Create the Practo Integration File

Create a new file in your Lovable project named practoIntegration.ts. This file will contain the code to interact with Practo’s API.
Copy and paste the following TypeScript code into practoIntegration.ts:


import axios from 'axios';

export class PractoAPI {
  private baseURL: string;
  private apiKey: string;

  constructor(apiKey: string) {
    // Replace with the actual Practo API base URL if different
    this.baseURL = 'https://api.practo.com';
    this.apiKey = apiKey;
  }

  async getDoctorDetails(doctorId: string): Promise {
    try {
      const response = await axios.get(${this.baseURL}/doctor/${doctorId}, {
        headers: {
          'Authorization': Bearer ${this.apiKey}
        }
      });
      return response.data;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error fetching doctor details:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }

  // Add more methods as needed for additional Practo API endpoints
}

Step 2: Create a Configuration File for API Keys

Create a new file named config.ts in your project. This file will store configuration values such as your Practo API key.
Insert the following code into config.ts and replace YOURPRACTOAPI_KEY with your actual Practo API key:


export const PRACTOAPIKEY = 'YOURPRACTOAPI_KEY';

Step 3: Integrate Practo API into Your Lovable Main Application

Open the main file where you initialize or run your Lovable project (for example, app.ts or index.ts).
Import the Practo integration class and the configuration value. Then, create an instance of the Practo API client and use it as needed. Insert the following code into your main file:


import { PractoAPI } from './practoIntegration';
import { PRACTOAPIKEY } from './config';

const practoClient = new PractoAPI(PRACTOAPIKEY);

// Sample function to fetch and display doctor details
async function showDoctorDetails() {
  try {
    const doctorId = '12345'; // Replace with actual doctor id as needed
    const details = await practoClient.getDoctorDetails(doctorId);
    console.log('Doctor details from Practo:', details);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to get doctor details:', error);
  }
}

showDoctorDetails();

Step 4: Include Axios Dependency Without a Terminal

Since Lovable does not have a terminal to install dependencies, you must include axios manually.
Add the following script tag into your main HTML file (for example, inside the <head> section of index.html), so that axios is available in your project:


<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>

If your Lovable project uses a bundler that automatically picks up installed modules, then this script tag ensures axios is loaded at runtime.

Step 5: Verify and Test the Integration

Save all the changes you have made.
Trigger your Lovable project in the usual way. Since there is no terminal, your project should automatically integrate the new code.
Open the browser console to verify that the sample function outputs the doctor details or any errors from the Practo API call.

By following these steps and inserting these code snippets into your Lovable project, you will have integrated Practo’s API using TypeScript without needing terminal access for dependency installation.
