ideogram-local-dev-loop

Configure Ideogram local development with mock responses and testing. Use when setting up a development environment, configuring test workflows, or establishing a fast iteration cycle with Ideogram. Trigger with phrases like "ideogram dev setup", "ideogram local development", "ideogram dev environment", "develop with ideogram", "ideogram testing".

Ideogram Local Dev Loop

Overview

Set up a fast local development workflow for Ideogram integrations. Includes a typed client wrapper, mock server for offline development (avoids burning credits), and vitest integration for automated testing.

Prerequisites

  • Completed ideogram-install-auth setup
  • Node.js 18+ with npm/pnpm
  • IDEOGRAM_API_KEY environment variable set

Instructions

Step 1: Create Project Structure

my-ideogram-project/
├── src/
│   ├── ideogram/
│   │   ├── client.ts       # Typed Ideogram client wrapper
│   │   ├── types.ts         # Request/response type definitions
│   │   └── mock-server.ts   # Local mock for offline dev
│   └── index.ts
├── tests/
│   └── ideogram.test.ts
├── .env.local              # Local secrets (git-ignored)
├── .env.example            # Template for team
├── tsconfig.json
└── package.json

Step 2: Install Dependencies

set -euo pipefail
npm install dotenv
npm install -D typescript tsx vitest @types/node

Step 3: Type Definitions

// src/ideogram/types.ts
export type StyleType = "AUTO" | "GENERAL" | "REALISTIC" | "DESIGN" | "RENDER_3D" | "ANIME";
export type AspectRatio = "ASPECT_1_1" | "ASPECT_16_9" | "ASPECT_9_16" | "ASPECT_3_2" | "ASPECT_2_3"
  | "ASPECT_4_3" | "ASPECT_3_4" | "ASPECT_10_16" | "ASPECT_16_10" | "ASPECT_1_3" | "ASPECT_3_1";
export type Model = "V_1" | "V_1_TURBO" | "V_2" | "V_2_TURBO" | "V_2A" | "V_2A_TURBO";
export type MagicPrompt = "AUTO" | "ON" | "OFF";

export interface GenerateRequest {
  prompt: string;
  model?: Model;
  style_type?: StyleType;
  aspect_ratio?: AspectRatio;
  magic_prompt_option?: MagicPrompt;
  negative_prompt?: string;
  num_images?: number;
  seed?: number;
}

export interface ImageResult {
  url: string;
  prompt: string;
  resolution: string;
  is_image_safe: boolean;
  seed: number;
  style_type: StyleType;
}

export interface GenerateResponse {
  created: string;
  data: ImageResult[];
}

Step 4: Client Wrapper

// src/ideogram/client.ts
import type { GenerateRequest, GenerateResponse } from "./types";

const IDEOGRAM_API = "https://api.ideogram.ai";

export class IdeogramClient {
  constructor(private apiKey: string) {
    if (!apiKey) throw new Error("IDEOGRAM_API_KEY is required");
  }

  async generate(request: GenerateRequest): Promise<GenerateResponse> {
    const response = await fetch(`${IDEOGRAM_API}/generate`, {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Api-Key": this.apiKey,
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({ image_request: request }),
    });

    if (!response.ok) {
      const body = await response.text();
      throw new IdeogramError(response.status, body);
    }
    return response.json();
  }
}

export class IdeogramError extends Error {
  constructor(public status: number, public body: string) {
    super(`Ideogram API error ${status}: ${body}`);
    this.name = "IdeogramError";
  }
}

Step 5: Mock Server for Offline Development

// src/ideogram/mock-server.ts
import type { GenerateResponse } from "./types";

// Use this in development to avoid burning real credits
export function mockGenerate(prompt: string): GenerateResponse {
  return {
    created: new Date().toISOString(),
    data: [{
      url: `https://placehold.co/1024x1024/333/fff?text=${encodeURIComponent(prompt.slice(0, 30))}`,
      prompt,
      resolution: "1024x1024",
      is_image_safe: true,
      seed: Math.floor(Math.random() * 100000),
      style_type: "GENERAL",
    }],
  };
}

Step 6: Vitest Tests

// tests/ideogram.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from "vitest";
import { IdeogramClient, IdeogramError } from "../src/ideogram/client";
import { mockGenerate } from "../src/ideogram/mock-server";

describe("IdeogramClient", () => {
  it("should reject missing API key", () => {
    expect(() => new IdeogramClient("")).toThrow("IDEOGRAM_API_KEY is required");
  });

  it("should construct generate request correctly", async () => {
    const fetchSpy = vi.spyOn(globalThis, "fetch").mockResolvedValue(
      new Response(JSON.stringify(mockGenerate("test")), { status: 200 })
    );

    const client = new IdeogramClient("test-key");
    const result = await client.generate({ prompt: "test", model: "V_2" });

    expect(fetchSpy).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
      "https://api.ideogram.ai/generate",
      expect.objectContaining({
        method: "POST",
        headers: expect.objectContaining({ "Api-Key": "test-key" }),
      })
    );
    expect(result.data[0].prompt).toBe("test");
    fetchSpy.mockRestore();
  });

  it("should throw IdeogramError on 401", async () => {
    vi.spyOn(globalThis, "fetch").mockResolvedValue(
      new Response("Unauthorized", { status: 401 })
    );

    const client = new IdeogramClient("bad-key");
    await expect(client.generate({ prompt: "test" })).rejects.toThrow(IdeogramError);
  });
});

describe("mockGenerate", () => {
  it("should return valid response shape", () => {
    const result = mockGenerate("hello world");
    expect(result.data).toHaveLength(1);
    expect(result.data[0].is_image_safe).toBe(true);
    expect(result.data[0].seed).toBeGreaterThan(0);
  });
});

Step 7: Development Scripts

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "tsx watch src/index.ts",
    "test": "vitest run",
    "test:watch": "vitest --watch",
    "generate": "tsx src/index.ts"
  }
}

Error Handling

ErrorCauseSolution
Module not foundMissing dependencyRun npm install
Env not loadedMissing .env.localCopy from .env.example
Test timeoutMocking not set upUse mockGenerate in tests
Credits burned in testsUsing real API in CIMock fetch in test files

Output

  • Typed client wrapper for Ideogram API
  • Mock server for offline development
  • Vitest test suite with fetch mocking
  • Fast iteration cycle without spending credits
