This plugin provides utilities for conveninetly exposing Genkit flows and actions via Express HTTP server as REST APIs.
import { expressHandler } from '@genkit-ai/express';
import express from 'express';
const simpleFlow = ai.defineFlow('simpleFlow', async (input, { sendChunk }) => {
const { text } = await ai.generate({
model: gemini15Flash,
prompt: input,
onChunk: (c) => sendChunk(c.text),
});
return text;
});
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
app.post('/simpleFlow', expressHandler(simpleFlow));
app.listen(8080);
You can also handle auth using context providers:
import { UserFacingError } from 'genkit';
import { ContextProvider, RequestData } from 'genkit/context';
const context: ContextProvider<Context> = (req: RequestData) => {
if (req.headers['authorization'] !== 'open sesame') {
throw new UserFacingError('PERMISSION_DENIED', 'not authorized');
}
return {
auth: {
user: 'Ali Baba',
},
};
};
app.post(
'/simpleFlow',
authMiddleware,
expressHandler(simpleFlow, { context })
);
Flows and actions exposed using the expressHandler
function can be accessed using genkit/beta/client
library:
import { runFlow, streamFlow } from 'genkit/beta/client';
const result = await runFlow({
url: `http://localhost:${port}/simpleFlow`,
input: 'say hello',
});
console.log(result); // hello
// set auth headers (when using auth policies)
const result = await runFlow({
url: `http://localhost:${port}/simpleFlow`,
headers: {
Authorization: 'open sesame',
},
input: 'say hello',
});
console.log(result); // hello
// and streamed
const result = streamFlow({
url: `http://localhost:${port}/simpleFlow`,
input: 'say hello',
});
for await (const chunk of result.stream) {
console.log(chunk);
}
console.log(await result.output);
