v0 and Smartsheet integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2025

 

Adding the Smartsheet SDK Dependency

 

• Open your project's package.json file. Even though your v0 project does not support a terminal, you can manually add dependencies by editing this file.
• Add the following dependency under the "dependencies" section. This will include the Smartsheet Node.js SDK in your project.

  
  "smartsheet": "^2.0.0"
      

  If your package.json file does not already have a "dependencies" section, add it as shown below:

  
  {
    "name": "your-v0-project",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "dependencies": {
      "smartsheet": "^2.0.0"
    }
  }
      

 

Creating the Smartsheet Client Module

 

• In your project structure, create a new file named smartsheetClient.ts in the folder where you keep your TypeScript modules (for example, inside a src folder).
• This file will contain the code to initialize the Smartsheet client with your API key. Insert the following code into smartsheetClient.ts:

  
  import smartsheet from 'smartsheet';
  import { SMARTSHEETAPIKEY } from './config';
  
  const client = smartsheet.createClient({
      accessToken: SMARTSHEETAPIKEY
  });
  export default client;
      

  
  

 

Configuring Environment Variables for the API Key

 

• Since your v0 environment does not support terminal commands or secret managers, create a new file named config.ts (in the same folder as smartsheetClient.ts or any location you prefer).
• Insert your Smartsheet API key directly into this file. Replace YOURACTUALAPI_KEY with your real API key.

  
  export const SMARTSHEETAPIKEY = 'YOURACTUALAPI_KEY';
      

 

Integrating Smartsheet Functionality in Your Main Code

 

• In your primary TypeScript file (or any file where you want to use Smartsheet), import the Smartsheet client from smartsheetClient.ts.
• Use the client to interact with Smartsheet. For example, to fetch a sheet by its ID, add the following code snippet:

  
  import smartsheetClient from './smartsheetClient';
  
  async function getSheet(sheetId: number) {
      try {
          const sheet = await smartsheetClient.sheets.getSheet({ id: sheetId });
          console.log('Sheet data:', sheet);
      } catch (error) {
          console.error('Error fetching sheet:', error);
      }
  }
  // Replace with your actual sheet ID
  getSheet(123456789);
      

  
  


• 
  Save the file and ensure that when your project runs, the function getSheet is executed so that it can communicate with Smartsheet.
  

 

Summary of the Changes

 

• Add the Smartsheet dependency in package.json.
• Create the smartsheetClient.ts file to initialize the Smartsheet client.
• Create a config.ts file to securely store your Smartsheet API key.
• Import and use the Smartsheet client in your main application code to perform operations (like fetching a sheet).
