Common Issues

Widget Not Displaying

Problem: Widget container shows nothing after mounting.

Solutions:

1. Check that the container element exists in the DOM

2. Verify API key is valid

3. Check browser console for errors

4. Ensure address format is correct

// Correct usage
const container = document.getElementById('widget');
if (container) {
  createWidget({ ... }).mount(container);
}

API Key Errors

Problem: Getting 401 Unauthorized errors.

Solutions:

1. Verify API key is correct

2. Check key hasn't expired

3. Ensure key has necessary permissions

4. Check environment variable is loaded

// Debug API key loading
console.log('API Key loaded:', !!import.meta.env.VITE_DOTPASSPORT_API_KEY);

Rate Limiting

Problem: Getting 429 Too Many Requests.

Solutions:

1. Implement caching

2. Add retry logic with exponential backoff

3. Reduce request frequency

4. Contact support for higher limits

// Implement caching
const cache = new Map();
const CACHE_TTL = 5 * 60 * 1000;

async function getCachedScores(address) {
  const cached = cache.get(address);
  if (cached && Date.now() - cached.time < CACHE_TTL) {
    return cached.data;
  }

  const data = await client.getScores(address);
  cache.set(address, { data, time: Date.now() });
  return data;
}

TypeScript Errors

Problem: Type errors when using the SDK.

Solutions:

1. Ensure @dotpassport/sdk is installed

2. Check TypeScript version (4.5+ recommended)

3. Import types explicitly if needed

import { createWidget, type WidgetConfig } from '@dotpassport/sdk';

const config: WidgetConfig = {
  apiKey: 'your_api_key',
  address: '5Grwva...',
  type: 'reputation'
};
