OpenAI Assistants with Code Interpreter Streaming in JavaScript

This page was automatically generated by AI; not yet reviewed for accuracy...

The content and code samples on this page were generated by using the ai CLI with customized prompts in this repository.

It's cool, but, it's experimental. 😁

Please review the content and code before using it in your application.

This sample demonstrates how to use the OpenAI Assistants with a Code Interpreter in a JavaScript console application.

main.js

STEP 1: Read the configuration settings from environment variables:

main.js
const ASSISTANT_ID = process.env.ASSISTANT_ID ?? "<insert your OpenAI assistant ID here>";
const threadId = process.argv[2] || null;

const AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY = process.env.AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY ?? "<insert your Azure OpenAI API key here>";
const AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION = process.env.AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION ?? "<insert your Azure OpenAI API version here>";
const AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT = process.env.AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT ?? "<insert your Azure OpenAI endpoint here>";
const AZURE_OPENAI_BASE_URL = `${AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT.replace(/\/+$/, '')}/openai`;

STEP 2: Create the OpenAI client:

main.js
const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY,
  baseURL: AZURE_OPENAI_BASE_URL,
  defaultQuery: { 'api-version': AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION },
  defaultHeaders: { 'api-key': AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY },
});

STEP 3: Create the assistants streaming helper class instance:

main.js
const assistant = new OpenAIAssistantsCodeInterpreterStreamingClass(ASSISTANT_ID, openai);

STEP 4: Get or create the thread, and display the messages if any:

main.js
if (threadId === null) {
  await assistant.createThread()
} else {
  await assistant.retrieveThread(threadId);
  await assistant.getThreadMessages((role, content) => {
    role = role.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + role.slice(1);
    process.stdout.write(`${role}: ${content}`);
  });
}

STEP 5: Loop until the user types 'exit', get user input and get the Assistant's response:

main.js
while (true) {

  const input = await readline.question('User: ');
  if (input === 'exit' || input === '') break;

  process.stdout.write('\nAssistant: ');
  await assistant.getResponse(input, (content) => {
    process.stdout.write(content);
  });

  process.stdout.write('\n\n');
}

OpenAIAssistantsCodeInterpreterStreamingClass.js

STEP 1: Create the client, initialize class variables and create or retrieve a thread:

OpenAIAssistantsCodeInterpreterStreamingClass.js
constructor(openAIAssistantId, openai, simulateTypingDelay = 0) {
  this.simulateTypingDelay = simulateTypingDelay;
  this.openAIAssistantId = openAIAssistantId;
  this.thread = null;
  this.openai = openai;
}

async createThread() {
  this.thread = await this.openai.beta.threads.create();
  return this.thread;
}

async retrieveThread(threadId) {
  this.thread = await this.openai.beta.threads.retrieve(threadId);
  return this.thread;
}

STEP 2: Get the messages in the thread:

OpenAIAssistantsCodeInterpreterStreamingClass.js
async getThreadMessages(callback) {

  const messages = await this.openai.beta.threads.messages.list(this.thread.id);
  messages.data.reverse();

  for (const message of messages.data) {
    let content = message.content.map(item => item.text.value).join('') + '\n\n';
    callback(message.role, content);
  }
}

STEP 3: Get the response from the Assistant:

OpenAIAssistantsCodeInterpreterStreamingClass.js
async getResponse(userInput, callback) {

  if (this.thread == null) {
    await this.createThread();
  }

  await this.openai.beta.threads.messages.create(this.thread.id, { role: "user", content: userInput });
  let stream = await this.openai.beta.threads.runs.stream(this.thread.id, {
    assistant_id: this.openAIAssistantId,
  });

  let runCompletedPromise = new Promise((resolve) => {
    this.resolveRunCompletedPromise = resolve;
  });

  await this.handleStreamEvents(stream, callback);

  await runCompletedPromise;
  runCompletedPromise = null;
}

STEP 4: Handle the stream events:

OpenAIAssistantsCodeInterpreterStreamingClass.js
async handleStreamEvents(stream, callback) {
  stream.on('textDelta', async (textDelta, snapshot) => await this.onTextDelta(textDelta, callback));
  stream.on('event', async (event) => {
    if (event.event == 'thread.run.completed') {
      this.resolveRunCompletedPromise();
    }
    else if (event.event == 'thread.run.failed') {
      console.log(JSON.stringify(event));
      throw new Error('Run failed');
    }
  });
  stream.on('toolCallCreated', (toolCall) => {
    if (toolCall.type === 'code_interpreter') {
      process.stdout.write('\n\nassistant-code:\n');
    }
  });
  stream.on('toolCallDelta', (toolCallDelta, snapshot) => {
    if (toolCallDelta.type === 'code_interpreter') {
      if (toolCallDelta.code_interpreter.input) {
        process.stdout.write(toolCallDelta.code_interpreter.input);
      }
      if (toolCallDelta.code_interpreter.outputs) {
        process.stdout.write('\n\nassistant-output:');
        toolCallDelta.code_interpreter.outputs.forEach(output => {
          if (output.type === "logs") {
            process.stdout.write(`\n${output.logs}\n`);
          }
        });
      }
    }
  });
}

STEP 5: Process text deltas from the stream:

OpenAIAssistantsCodeInterpreterStreamingClass.js
async onTextDelta(textDelta, callback) {
  let content = textDelta.value;
  if (content != null) {
    if(callback != null) {
      callback(content);
      if (this.simulateTypingDelay > 0) {
        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, this.simulateTypingDelay));
      }
    }
  }
}
