Development

Best practices for local testing, localhost origins, mock avatars, and test API keys.

Overview

The Development environment allows developers to iterate on assistant prompts, test avatar animations, and verify DOM element guidance locally without affecting production data.

Local Dev Server Setup

In your project's Development environment, ensure http://localhost:3000 and http://localhost:5173 are listed in Allowed Domains.

Set your test keys in .env.local:

NEXT_PUBLIC_ASIYST_PUBLIC_KEY=pk_test_8a7b6c5d4e3f2a1b
