r2r-js

The ultimate open source RAG answer engine - JavaScript Client

About

The official JavaScript client for R2R (Retrieval-Augmented Generation to Riches). R2R is designed to bridge the gap between local LLM experimentation and scalable, state of the art Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). This JavaScript client provides a seamless interface to interact with the R2R RESTful API.

R2R JavaScript Client Quickstart

Initialize the R2R client

const { r2rClient } = require("r2r-js");

const client = new r2rClient("http://localhost:7272");

Login

const EMAIL = "[e-mail]";
const PASSWORD = "change_me_immediately";
console.log("Logging in...");
await client.login(EMAIL, PASSWORD);

Ingest files

const files = [
  { path: "examples/data/raskolnikov.txt", name: "raskolnikov.txt" },
  { path: "examples/data/karamozov.txt", name: "karamozov.txt" },
];

const ingestResult = await client.ingestFiles(files, {
  metadatas: [{ title: "raskolnikov.txt" }, { title: "karamozov.txt" }],
  user_ids: [
    "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000",
    "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000",
  ],
});
console.log(ingestResult);

Perform a search

const searchResult = await client.search("Who was Raskolnikov?");
console.log(searchResult);

Perform RAG

const ragResult = await client.rag({
  query: "Who was Raskolnikov?",
  use_vector_search: true,
  filters: {},
  search_limit: 10,
  use_hybrid_search: false,
  use_kg_search: false,
  kg_generation_config: {},
  rag_generation_config: {
    model: "gpt-4o",
    temperature: 0.0,
    stream: false,
  },
});
console.log(ragResult);

Stream a RAG Response

const streamingRagResult = await client.rag({
  query: "Who was Raskolnikov?",
  rag_generation_config: {
    stream: true,
  },
});

if (streamingRagResult instanceof ReadableStream) {
  const reader = streamingRagResult.getReader();
  while (true) {
    const { done, value } = await reader.read();
    if (done) break;
    console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(value));
  }
}
