Integrating OpenAI with Laravel 11 can enable your application to leverage the powerful capabilities of AI for tasks like text generation, natural language processing, and more. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up and use OpenAI in a Laravel 11 application:
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Set Up Your Laravel Project
First, ensure you have a Laravel 11 project set up. If not, you can create a new Laravel project using Composer:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel your-project-name
2. Install the OpenAI PHP Client
You need to install a PHP client for OpenAI. There are several libraries available, but for this example, we'll use the openai-php/client package.
composer require openai-php/client
3. Configure Your Environment Variables
OpenAI requires an API key for authentication. You should store this key in your .env file.
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key
Make sure to replace your-openai-api-key with your actual OpenAI API key, which you can obtain from the OpenAI website after signing up and creating an API key.
4. Create a Service Provider
To make the OpenAI client available throughout your Laravel application, you can create a service provider. Run the following Artisan command to create one:
php artisan make:provider OpenAIServiceProvider
Then, register the service provider in the config/app.php file:
'providers' => [
// Other Service Providers
App\Providers\OpenAIServiceProvider::class,
],
5. Implement the OpenAI Service Provider
Edit the newly created OpenAIServiceProvider to bind the OpenAI client to the service container:
// app/Providers/OpenAIServiceProvider.php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use OpenAI\Client;
class OpenAIServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Register services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function register()
{
$this->app->singleton(Client::class, function ($app) {
return new Client([
'api_key' => env('OPENAI_API_KEY'),
]);
});
}
/**
* Bootstrap services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot()
{
//
}
}
6. Create a Controller to Use OpenAI
Now, create a controller to interact with OpenAI's API. For example, you might create a ChatController:
php artisan make:controller ChatController
In the ChatController, inject the OpenAI client and create a method to handle requests:
// app/Http/Controllers/ChatController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use OpenAI\Client;
class ChatController extends Controller
{
protected $openai;
public function __construct(Client $openai)
{
$this->openai = $openai;
}
public function generateResponse(Request $request)
{
$input = $request->input('prompt');
$response = $this->openai->completions()->create([
'model' => 'text-davinci-003',
'prompt' => $input,
'max_tokens' => 100,
]);
return response()->json($response);
}
}
7. Set Up Routes
Define a route to handle the request to the ChatController:
// routes/web.php
use App\Http\Controllers\ChatController;
Route::post('/generate-response', [ChatController::class, 'generateResponse']);
8. Create a Form for User Input (Optional)
To interact with your OpenAI integration, you can create a simple form in your Blade template:
<!-- resources/views/chat.blade.php -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Chat with OpenAI</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="chat-form">
<label for="prompt">Enter your prompt:</label>
<textarea id="prompt" name="prompt" rows="4" cols="50"></textarea>
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
<div id="response"></div>
<script>
document.getElementById('chat-form').addEventListener('submit', async function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
const prompt = document.getElementById('prompt').value;
const response = await fetch('/generate-response', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': '{{ csrf_token() }}',
},
body: JSON.stringify({ prompt }),
});
const data = await response.json();
document.getElementById('response').innerText = data.choices[0].text;
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
9. Test Your Integration
Start your Laravel development server:
php artisan serve
Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your web browser, navigate to the form you created, and test the OpenAI integration by entering a prompt and submitting the form.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you have successfully integrated OpenAI with your Laravel 11 application. You can now extend this basic setup to handle more complex interactions with OpenAI’s API, such as using different models, adjusting parameters, and integrating other OpenAI functionalities.
