NEXT.JS LangChain Starter Kit
Overview
The NEXT.JS + LangChain Chat Starter Kit is a project aimed at simplifying the process of creating chatbots for langchain. It was created as an antidote to the perceived complexity of existing templates and starter kits. This kit serves as a foundation or source of inspiration for developing your own langchain chatbot.
Features
- chatBox.tsx: A UI component that is ready to use out of the box. It provides all the necessary functionality for a chatbot, and it is recommended to customize the UI elements in this component.
- assistantChat.tsx: A card-like component that takes a text prop and returns a card with the text. This can be used to display messages from the assistant in the chat.
- userChat.tsx: A card-like component that takes a text prop and returns a card with the text. This can be used to display messages from the user in the chat.
- openAPIKeyInput.tsx: An input component that uses /api/test_api to verify if an API key is valid. It can be used to input and validate an API key for the chatbot.
- messageInput.tsx: An input component that takes in user input for the chat. It can be disabled or put into a loading state with props to control different actions.
- ChatWindow.tsx: A scroll area component that is used to house the chat elements and enable chat scrolling.
