ai_box

This package provides a base class and test utilities for all AI provider classes that inherit from LLMAIBase.

LLMAIBase

An abstract class that all AI providers (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) should inherit from.

Required Methods

• chat(): Chat functionality
• getModelIds(): Get a list of available model IDs
• validateKey(): Validate the API key

Provided Utility Methods

• chatWithStrings(): Chat with an array of strings
• generateText(): Simple text generation

Common Tests

By using the runLLMAIBaseCommonTests() function, you can ensure that all LLMAIBase implementation classes are tested to the same standard.

Usage Example

import 'package:test/test.dart';
import 'package:your_ai_package/your_ai_package.dart';

// Import the test utilities from ai_box
import '../ai_box/test/test_utils.dart';

void main() {
  // Run the common tests
  runLLMAIBaseCommonTests(
    createInstance: () => YourAIClass(apiKey: 'your-api-key'),
    instanceName: 'YourAI',
    testModel: 'your-model-name',
    skipApiTests: false, // Set to false to perform actual API calls
  );

  // Add any additional specific tests here
  group('YourAI Specific Tests', () {
    // ...
  });
}

Parameters

• createInstance: A function that creates an instance of the LLMAIBase to be tested.
• instanceName: The name of the class being tested (for display purposes in tests).
• testModel: The name of the model to be used for testing.
• skipApiTests: Whether to skip tests that involve API calls (default: false).

Test Contents

The common tests include the following:

Basic Tests

• The instance is created correctly.
• The API key is set.

API Functionality Tests (if skipApiTests=false)

• The API key can be validated.
• Available model IDs can be retrieved.
• The chat functionality works.
• The chat functionality with strings works.
• The text generation functionality works.
• The maxTokens parameter is applied.

Class Tests

• LLMContent is created correctly.
• The values of LLMRole are correct.

Error Handling Tests

• An error occurs with an empty message list.
• An error occurs with an invalid model name.

Adding a New AI Provider

1. Create a class that inherits from LLMAIBase.
2. Implement the required methods.
3. Import ../ai_box/test/test_utils.dart in the test file.
4. Call runLLMAIBaseCommonTests().
5. Add specific tests as needed.

This ensures that all AI providers maintain consistent quality.

Notes

• The test utilities are located in the test folder and are not included in the main lib folder.
• This prevents the test package dependency from being included in the production code.
