Vector Database Integration Module Documentation
This module provides functionality to connect and interact with vector databases powered by embeddings, enabling fast AI-powered lookups.
1. FastAPI Endpoint Example (Python)
The following is an example of a FastAPI endpoint that integrates with a vector database:
from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException
from typing import List, Dict
import uuid
from pydantic import BaseModel
from ..models import Document
router = APIRouter()
class EmbeddingResult(BaseModel):
document_id: str
similarity_score: float
def get_db():
# Implementation for database connection
pass
@router.post("/embeddings", response_model=List[EmbeddingResult])
async def create_embeddings(
text: str,
db=Depends(get_db)
):
try:
# Generate embeddings from the input text
embeddings = generate_embeddings(text)
# Store in vector database
document_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
metadata = {"source": "api", "created_at": datetime.now()}
# Save to database
db.insert(
Document(
id=document_id,
content=text,
metadata=metadata,
embedding=embeddings
)
)
return [
EmbeddingResult(document_id=document_id, similarity_score=1.0)
]
except Exception as e:
raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))
2. React UI Example (JavaScript)
Here’s a React component that interacts with the FastAPI endpoint:
import { useState } from 'react';
function VectorDBLookup() {
const [inputText, setInputText] = useState('');
const [results, setResults] = useState([]);
async function handleSubmit(e) {
e.preventDefault();
try {
const response = await fetch('/embeddings', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({ text: inputText }),
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Failed to process text');
}
const data = await response.json();
setResults(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
}
return (
<div>
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<input
type="text"
value={inputText}
onChange={(e) => setInputText(e.target.value)}
placeholder="Enter text to embed..."
/>
<button type="submit">Generate Embeddings</button>
</form>
{results.length > 0 && (
<div>
<h3>Results:</h3>
{results.map((result) => (
<div key={result.document_id}>
<p>ID: {result.document_id}</p>
<p>Similarity Score: {result.similarity_score}</p>
</div>
))}
</div>
)}
</div>
);
}
export default VectorDBLookup;
3. Pydantic Data Schema Example (Python)
Here’s a Pydantic model for the document structure:
from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import Dict, List
import uuid
class Document(BaseModel):
id: str = None # type: Optional[str]
content: str
metadata: Dict[str, str] = {}
embedding: List[float]
def __init__(**kwargs):
super().__init__(
**kwargs,
id=str(uuid.uuid4()) if not kwargs.get("id") else kwargs["id"]
)
Usage
-
FastAPI Endpoint: Use the
/embeddings
endpoint to generate embeddings from text input. -
React UI: Use the React component to send text for embedding and display results.
-
Data Schema: Use the
Document
Pydantic model to define document structures when interacting with the vector database.
This module can be extended to include additional features like similarity searches, batch processing, and different vector database backends.
