Introduction
Welcome to the Patrick Pan Channel! In this video, You will learn how to integrate the OpenAI Dolly API with a React App to generate custom images. Before we dive into coding, let's first understand what the Dolly API is and how it works.
What is Dolly API?
The OpenAI Dolly API is a recently released API that allows users to generate custom images by simply typing in a query. This API searches for images related to the keywords provided and uses artificial intelligence to merge these images into one, serving it back to the user. Now, let's learn how to integrate the Dolly API into your React application.
Setting up the React application
To begin, you need to set up your React application. Follow these steps:
- Open your terminal and navigate to the desired directory.
- Use the command "npx Create-react-app [project-name]" to create a new React project.
- Once the project is created, navigate into the project directory.
- Install the required dependencies by running the command "npm install".
Now that your React application is set up, let's move on to creating the UI component.
Creating the UI component
To create the UI component for generating an image using the OpenAI API, follow these steps:
- Open the "App.jsx" file in the "src" folder.
- Modify the state to include a "prompt" variable as an empty STRING.
- Create an H2 heading with the title "Generate an Image using the OpenAI API".
- Add a text input field for the prompt, with a placeholder text of "Let's generate an image".
- Create a button with the text "Generate an Image".
With the UI component in place, it's time to integrate the Dolly API into your React application.
Integrating the Dolly API into the React application
To integrate the Dolly API into your React application, follow these steps:
- Login to your OpenAI account and obtain an API key.
- Create a ".env" file in the root directory of your React application.
- Store the API key in the ".env" file as a variable ("VID_OPEN_AI_KEY").
- Install the OpenAI SDK by running the command "npm install @openai/api".
- Import the required functions from the OpenAI SDK in the "App.jsx" file.
- Create a configuration variable using your API key.
- Create an instance of the OpenAI API by passing the configuration.
Now that the Dolly API is integrated, let's update the state with the user's input.
Updating the state with the text input
To update the state with the user's input from the text area, follow these steps:
- Add an "onChange" event to the text input field.
- Pass the event object to a function that updates the state with the input value ("prompt").
- Use the "setPrompt" function to update the state with the input value.
- Use "console.log" to verify that the state is updating correctly.
With the state updated, let's send a request to the API and receive the response.
Sending the request to the API and receiving the response
To send a request to the API and receive the response, follow these steps:
- Create a function called "generateImage" that sends the request.
- Use the "createImage" method from the OpenAI API, passing in the prompt, number of images, and size.
- Use "console.log" to view the response data, specifically the generated image URL.
- Store the generated image URL in a new state variable ("result").
- Display the generated image on the application.
Finally, let's conclude our tutorial and summarize the steps taken to integrate the Dolly API into the React application.
