Intro to Hashbrown & Angular

Welcome to the "Intro to Hashbrown & Angular" workshop! In it, you will learn how to:

• Create simple chatbots
• Expose Angular services to LLMs
• Render generative user interfaces

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v22 or higher) and npm installed (we recommend using nvm to manage Node versions)

Setup

OpenAI API Key

You will need an OpenAI API key to complete this particular workshop. Hashbrown supports other large-language models, including Google's Gemini models and Writer. However, the prompts we explore in this exercise will be optimized for OpenAI's models.

To get an API key, follow these steps:

1. Sign up for an account at OpenAI Platform
2. Load it with a balance (you won't need more than $1 for this workshop)
3. Generate an API key

Running the Code

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/liveloveapp/hashbrown-angular-intro.git
   cd hashbrown-angular-intro

2. Install and switch Node.js versions:

   nvm install
   nvm use

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install

4. Copy the example environment file:

   cp .env.example .env

5. Open .env and set your API key:

   OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key
   

6. Run the server in a terminal prompt: and frontend application:

   npx nx serve smart-home-server

7. Run the client in a separate terminal tab or window:

   npx nx serve smart-home

   Verify the app loads at http://localhost:4200.
