Local Development

TruSec provides a seamless local development experience with our development mode and testing utilities.

​
Development Mode

Enable development mode to bypass certain security restrictions during local development: 
import { TruSec } from '@trusec/sdk';

const trusec = new TruSec({
  apiKey: process.env.TRUSEC_SECRET_KEY,
  development: true, // Enable development mode
});
Never enable development mode in production. It disables certain security checks that are essential for protecting your users.

​
Test API Keys

Use test API keys for development and testing. Test keys have the prefix trusec_test_: 
TRUSEC_SECRET_KEY=trusec_test_sk_1234567890abcdef
Test keys work exactly like production keys but operate in an isolated sandbox environment.

​
Testing

​
Mock Client

For unit testing, use our mock client to simulate TruSec responses: 
import { MockTruSec } from '@trusec/sdk/testing';

const mockTrusec = new MockTruSec();

// Configure mock responses
mockTrusec.sessions.verify.mockResolvedValue({
  valid: true,
  user: { id: 'user_123', email: 'test@example.com' },
});

// Use in your tests
const session = await mockTrusec.sessions.verify({ token: 'test-token' });
expect(session.valid).toBe(true);

​
Integration Testing

For integration tests, we recommend using test API keys with our sandbox environment: 
describe('TruSec Integration', () => {
  const trusec = new TruSec({
    apiKey: process.env.TRUSEC_TEST_KEY,
    baseUrl: 'https://sandbox.trusec.io',
  });

  it('should authenticate a valid user', async () => {
    const session = await trusec.sessions.create({
      email: 'integration-test@example.com',
      password: 'test-password-123',
    });

    expect(session.token).toBeDefined();
  });
});

​
Debugging

​
Enable Verbose Logging

Enable verbose logging to see detailed request/response information: 
const trusec = new TruSec({
  apiKey: process.env.TRUSEC_SECRET_KEY,
  debug: true,
  logLevel: 'verbose',
});

​
Request Tracing

Every request includes a trace ID for debugging. Access it from the response: 
const response = await trusec.users.get({ id: 'user_123' });
console.log('Trace ID:', response._traceId);
Include the trace ID when contacting support for faster issue resolution.
