# Ollama JavaScript Library

The Ollama JavaScript library provides the easiest way to integrate your JavaScript project with [Ollama](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama).

## Getting Started

```
npm i ollama
```

## Usage

```javascript
import ollama from 'ollama'

const response = await ollama.chat({
  model: 'llama3.1',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Why is the sky blue?' }],
})
console.log(response.message.content)
```

### Browser Usage
To use the library without node, import the browser module.
```javascript
import ollama from 'ollama/browser'
```

## Streaming responses

Response streaming can be enabled by setting `stream: true`, modifying function calls to return an `AsyncGenerator` where each part is an object in the stream.

```javascript
import ollama from 'ollama'

const message = { role: 'user', content: 'Why is the sky blue?' }
const response = await ollama.chat({ model: 'llama3.1', messages: [message], stream: true })
for await (const part of response) {
  process.stdout.write(part.message.content)
}
```

## Create

```javascript
import ollama from 'ollama'

const modelfile = `
FROM llama3.1
SYSTEM "You are mario from super mario bros."
`
await ollama.create({ model: 'example', modelfile: modelfile })
```

## API

The Ollama JavaScript library's API is designed around the [Ollama REST API](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama/blob/main/docs/api.md)

### ps

```javascript

### abort

```javascript
ollama.abort()
```

This method will abort **all** streamed generations currently running with the client instance.
If there is a need to manage streams with timeouts, it is recommended to have one Ollama client per stream.

All asynchronous threads listening to streams (typically the ```for await (const part of response)```) will throw an ```AbortError``` exception. See [examples/abort/abort-all-requests.ts](examples/abort/abort-all-requests.ts) for an example.

## Custom client

A custom client can be created with the following fields:

- `host` `<string>`: (Optional) The Ollama host address. Default: `"http://127.0.0.1:11434"`.
- `fetch` `<Object>`: (Optional) The fetch library used to make requests to the Ollama host.

```javascript
import { Ollama } from 'ollama'

const ollama = new Ollama({ host: 'http://127.0.0.1:11434' })
const response = await ollama.chat({
  model: 'llama3.1',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Why is the sky blue?' }],
})
```

## Building

To build the project files run:

```sh
