Best Practices

When using the Unlockd SDK, follow these best practices to ensure a smooth integration and optimal performance:

Error Handling

• Always wrap SDK method calls in try-catch blocks to handle errors gracefully.

• Handle specific error cases based on the error code and display appropriate error messages to the user.

• Log errors for debugging and monitoring purposes.

Security

• Keep your API key and secret secure and avoid exposing them in client-side code.

• Use secure communication channels (e.g., HTTPS) when making API requests.

• Validate and sanitize user input to prevent security vulnerabilities.

Performance

• Minimize the number of API requests to improve performance and reduce latency.

• Use caching mechanisms to store frequently accessed data and avoid unnecessary API calls.

• Implement pagination or lazy loading for large datasets to load data incrementally.

Testing

• Write unit tests to verify the correctness of your integration code.

• Test error handling scenarios to ensure your application can handle errors gracefully.

• Conduct thorough testing before deploying to production.

Keeping Up to Date

• Regularly check for updates and new versions of the Unlockd SDK.

• Review the changelog and update your integration code accordingly.

• Stay informed about any deprecations or breaking changes in the SDK.

By following these best practices, you can ensure a reliable and efficient integration of the Unlockd SDK into your application.
