How it works

When executed, streamQuery sends a request to Vectara's streaming query API. As the endpoint returns data chunks to the browser, the supplied onStreamUpdate is executed with relevant data from the most recent chunk. You can then use this latest data in your application however you wish.

Use it in your application

Install Stream-Query-Client

npm install --save @vectara/stream-query-client

Then use it in your application like this:

import {
  streamQuery,
  StreamUpdate,
  StreamQueryConfig,
} from "@vectara/stream-query-client";

const sendQuery = async () => {
  const configurationOptions: StreamQueryConfig = {
    // Required fields.
    customerId: "customerIdValue",
    corpusIds: ["2"],
    apiKey: "zqt_apiKeyValue",

    // Optional fields.
    queryValue: "Who put the ram in the ramalamadingdong?",
    summaryNumResults: 5,
    language: "eng",
    debug: true,
    enableFactualConsistencyScore: true,
    summaryPromptName: "summary-prompt-name",
  };

  const onStreamUpdate = (update: StreamUpdate) => {
    // Perform operations on returned data, e.g. update state.
    console.log(update.updatedText);
  };

  streamQuery(configurationOptions, onStreamUpdate);
};
