# Gamma Hello World

## Overview
Minimal working example demonstrating core Gamma presentation generation functionality.

## Prerequisites
- Completed `gamma-install-auth` setup
- Valid API credentials configured
- Development environment ready

## Instructions

### Step 1: Create Entry File
Create a new file for your hello world example.

### Step 2: Import and Initialize Client
```typescript
import { GammaClient } from '@gamma/sdk';

const gamma = new GammaClient({
  apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY,
});
```

### Step 3: Generate Your First Presentation
```typescript
async function main() {
  const presentation = await gamma.presentations.create({
    title: 'Hello Gamma!',
    prompt: 'Create a 3-slide introduction to AI presentations',
    style: 'professional',
  });

  console.log('Presentation created:', presentation.url);
}

main().catch(console.error);
```

## Output
- Working code file with Gamma client initialization
- Successful API response with presentation URL
- Console output showing:
```
Presentation created: https://gamma.app/docs/abcd1234
```

## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Import Error | SDK not installed | Verify with `npm list` or `pip show` |
| Auth Error | Invalid credentials | Check environment variable is set |
| Timeout | Network issues | Increase timeout or check connectivity |
| Rate Limit | Too many requests | Wait and retry with exponential backoff |

## Examples

### TypeScript Example
```typescript
import { GammaClient } from '@gamma/sdk';

const gamma = new GammaClient({
  apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY,
});

async function main() {
  const result = await gamma.presentations.create({
    title: 'My First Presentation',
    prompt: 'Explain the benefits of AI-powered presentations',
  });

  console.log('View at:', result.url);
}

main().catch(console.error);
```

### Python Example
```python
from gamma import GammaClient

client = GammaClient()

response = client.presentations.create(
    title='My First Presentation',
    prompt='Explain the benefits of AI-powered presentations'
)

print(f'View at: {response.url}')
```
