feathers-openai

NOTE: This library is new

Introduction

This library enables a series of FeathersJS services that map to the entities and routes of the OpenAI API.

By wrapping the API in a set of FeathersJS services, developers can quickly integrate any subset of the OpenAI API into their FeathersJS application. This enables the developer to log, manipulate, wrap hooks around, and make direct or indirect calls to the API.

Features

• All OpenAI routes get their own service (e.g. openai/embeddings)
• Nested routes are included (e.g.openai/fine-tunes/:id/cancel)
• Allows prefixing to prevent route overwriting (/my-openai-prefix/models)
• All OpenAI Services can be extended with normal hooks
• Allows for uploads via multer
• Light validation via TypeBox on all create calls.
• Can disable individual services via configuration

Todo:

[x] - Integrate all routes with FeathersJS [x] - Incorporate uploads via buffer streams [x] - Document multer example with KoaJS [ ] - Document multer example with ExpressJS [x] - Testing for uploads [x] - Testing for configuration [x] - Testing for sample services [ ] - Expand testing to cover all services

NOTE: PRs are welcome!

Installation

To install the services, add the library as a dependency.

npm install --save feathers-openai multer @koa/multer

In your app.js file, add the following middleware calls:

import koamulter from '@koa/multer';
import { openaiMulter, openai } from 'feathers-openai';
app.use(koamulter().any());
app.use(openaiMulter);

The koamulter captures multi-part form uploads to your endpoints. The openaiMulter appends the file(s) to the ctx.feathers object, making the buffers accessible within the hook and service params. The multer library or equivalent is required by koamulter.

In your src/services/index.js add the following:

import { openai } from 'feathers-openai'

export const services = (app) => {
	app.configure(openai('openai'))
	//	... other services
}

Configuration

API Key in [env].json

You must add your API key in your /config/[env].json file.

{
	"openai":"sk-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
}

Service Options:

• prefix (optional, default: openai) - The prefix added to every OpenAI service route. This allows you to nest the services so that their common names (i.e. model, etc.) don't overwrite your core application services. The default setting will result in routes like openai/models and openai/fine-tunes.
• allowedEntities (optional, default: all). This option allows you to disable and prevent the loading of any of the OpenAI API routes and entities. It takes an array of entity names. For example, setting allowedEntities=['models'] would enable only the openai/models service. This list of services are:
  • models
  • edits
  • completions
  • images/generations
  • images/edits
  • images/variations
  • fine-tunes
  • embeddings
  • moderations
  • files

Adding Hooks

The services come with no hooks by default. You can add hooks by simply setting the hooks property after app.configure. For example:

export const services = (app) => {
	app.configure(openai('openai'))
	attachOpenAIhooks(app)
	//	... other services
}
function attachOpenAIhooks(app){
	app.service('openai/models).hooks({
		before:{
			all:[()=>console.log('in the models hook!')]
		}
	})
}

You can also directly leverage the service as part of another service flow, like using the AI to write a title for an article.

app.service('articles').hooks({
	before:{ create:[
		(ctx)=>{
			let text = ctx.data.text;
			ctx.data.title = ctx.app.service('openai/completions)
			.create({
				model: "text-davinci-003",
				prompt: `Write a clickbait title for the following text:\n${text}\n####`,
				max_tokens: 7,
				temperature: 0,
				stop:'###'
			}).then(r=>r.choices[0].text)
		}]
	}
})

Known Limitations

Adapter Syntax: feathers-openai does NOT implement the Feathers Common database adapter API

Pagination: The current OpenAI API does not demonstrate how they will provide pagination for large responses, so for find method calls, the total, $limit and $skip are server-side manipulations of the OpenAI response and will not reduce the call on the OpenAI side. Any calls to find will return the standard feathers object { total:x ... data:[...]} but create , get, remove,update will return as close to the original OpenAI response.

Queries/Search: There is NO query capability for the OpenAI API so it is not implemented here. This library does not implement the FeathersJS querying syntax.
