Introduction
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a Laravel application that generates fake news topics using the OpenAI API. We will walk through the step-by-step process of setting up the necessary tools, creating the Laravel project, integrating the OpenAI API, and generating fake news topics with the application.
Tools Required to Create the Application
Before we begin, let's ensure that we have the following tools installed:
- XAMPP or similar PHP and RPC server software
- Composer for installing Laravel and other dependencies
- Git SCM or Git Bash for running Git commands
- Laravel framework
- Laravel Package for connecting with OpenAI
- OpenAI's API
- Visual Studio Code or any text editor of your choice
Steps to Create the Laravel Application
- Start by setting up your server software (e.g., XAMPP) and starting Apache and MySQL services.
- Open a command line interface and navigate to the desired directory for your project (e.g.,
cd C:\xampp\htdocs
).
- Install Laravel by running the command
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel fake-news-generation
.
- Once the installation is complete, navigate to the project folder using the command
cd fake-news-generation
.
- Start the Laravel server by running the command
php artisan serve
. You should be able to access the Laravel application on your localhost.
- Create a controller for the project using the command
php artisan make:controller AIController
.
- In the
AIController
class, create a public function called index
that returns a view.
- Create the corresponding view file in the
resources/views
directory with the name index.blade.php
. This file will contain the HTML structure of the application.
- Create a route to access the
index
function in the routes/web.php
file.
- Test the application by accessing your localhost in a web browser and navigating to the specified route.
Integrating OpenAI API
- Install the Laravel OpenAI package by running the command
composer require openai/sdk
.
- Include the OpenAI SDK in the
AIController
by adding the following line at the top: use OpenAI\OpenAI;
.
- Create a free trial account on the OpenAI Website to obtain an API key.
- In the
AIController
, set the API key as a constant variable and initialize the OpenAI SDK.
- Modify the prompt variable to instruct the AI to generate fake news topics related to the user-entered topic.
- Implement the OpenAI API call to generate the fake news topics.
- Parse the API response to extract the generated text.
- Pass the generated text as a variable to the view.
Generating Fake News Topics
- Create a form in the
index.blade.php
file with an input field for the topic and a button to generate the fake news.
- Set up a route to handle the form submission and call the
result
function in the AIController
.
- In the
AIController
, create a public function called result
that receives the topic from the form submission.
- Modify the prompt variable to include the user-entered topic.
- Call the OpenAI API again to generate the fake news topics with the user-entered topic.
- Parse the API response and pass the generated text to the
index
view.
- Display the generated fake news topics in the
index.blade.php
view.
Testing the Application
- Start your Laravel server.
- Access your application in a web browser.
- Enter a topic in the input field and click on the "Generate" button.
- Verify that the fake news topics related to the entered topic are displayed on the page.
