1. FastAPI Endpoint

This FastAPI endpoint accepts a long-form text input and returns an evaluation of grammar, logic, clarity, and originality.

# ai_essay_scorer/api.py
from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
from typing import Dict, Any
from pydantic import BaseModel

app = FastAPI()

class EssayInput(BaseModel):
    essay_text: str

@app.post("/scoreEssay")
async def scoreEssay(essay_input: EssayInput) -> Dict[str, Any]:
    # Simplified scoring logic (replace with actual AI model)
    scores = {
        "grammar": 92,
        "logic": 88,
        "clarity": 95,
        "originality": 85
    }
    
    explanations = {
        "grammar": "Prose is grammatically correct with minimal errors.",

    }

2. React UI Snippet

This React component provides a simple user interface for submitting essays and displaying the AI evaluation.

import React, { useState } from 'react';

interface EssayScore {
  category: string;
  score: number;
  explanation: string;
  confidence: number;
}

export const EssayScorer = () => {
  const [essayText, setEssayText] = useState("");
  const [scores, setScores] = useState<EssayScore[]>([]);

  const handleSubmit = async (e: React.FormEvent) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    try {
      const response = await fetch('/api/scoreEssay', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({ essay_text: essayText }),
      });

      if (!response.ok) {
        throw new Error('Failed to score essay');
      }

      const data = await response.json();
      setScores([
        { category: 'Grammar', score: data.scores.grammar, explanation: data.explanations.grammar, confidence: data.confidence.grammar },
        { category: 'Logic', score: data.scores.logic, explanation: data.explanationslogic, confidence: data.confidence.logc },
        { category: 'Clarity', score: data.scores.clarity, explanation: data.explanations.clarity, confidence: data.confidence.clarity },
        { category: 'Originality', score: data.scores.originality, explanation: data.explanations.originality, confidence: data.confidence.originality }
      ]);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error:', error);
    }
  };

  return (
    <div style={{ maxWidth: 800, margin: '20px auto' }}>
      <h1>AI Essay Scorer</h1>
      
      <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
        <textarea
          value={essayText}
          onChange={(e) => setEssayText(e.target.value)}
          placeholder="Enter your essay here..."
          style={{ width: '100%', height: 200, padding: 10 }}
        />
        
        <button type="submit" style={{ margin: '20px 0' }}>Score Essay</button>
      </form>

      {scores.length > 0 && (
        <div style={{ marginTop: 20 }}>
          {scores.map((score) => (
            <div key={score.category} style={{ marginBottom: 15, padding: 10, border: '1px solid #eee' }}>
              <h3>{score.category}: {score.score}%</h3>
              <p><strong>Explanation:</strong> {score.explanation}</p>
              <p><strong>Confidence:</strong> {score.confidence.toFixed(1)}%</p>
            </div>
          ))}
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  );
};
