Constructor Details

#initialize(argv: ARGV.dup) ⇒ Chat

Initializes a new OllamaChat::Chat instance with the given command-line arguments.

Sets up the chat environment including configuration parsing, Ollama client initialization, model selection, system prompt handling, document processing setup, and history management. This method handles all the bootstrapping necessary to create a functional chat session that can communicate with an Ollama server and process various input types including text, documents, web content, and images.

The initialization process includes parsing command-line options using Tins::GO for robust argument handling, setting up the Ollama client with configurable timeouts (connect, read, write), validating Ollama API version compatibility (requires >= 0.9.0 for features used), configuring model selection based on command-line or configuration defaults, initializing system prompts from files or inline content, setting up document processing pipeline with embedding capabilities through Documentrix::Documents, creating message history management through OllamaChat::MessageList, initializing cache systems for document embeddings, setting up voice support and image handling for multimodal interactions, enabling optional server socket functionality for remote input, and handling configuration errors with interactive recovery mechanisms.

Parameters:

  • argv (Array<String>) (defaults to: ARGV.dup)

    Command-line arguments to parse (defaults to ARGV.dup)

Raises:

  • (RuntimeError)

    If the Ollama API version is less than 0.9.0, indicating incompatibility with required API features

Instance Method Details

#add_documents_from_argv(document_list) ⇒ Object (private)

Note:

Empty entries in the document list will trigger a collection clear operation

Note:

Progress is reported to STDOUT during processing

Adds documents from command line arguments to the document collection

Processes a list of document paths or URLs, handling both local files and remote resources.

Examples:

Adding local files

#connect_ollamaOllama::Client (private)

The connect_ollama method establishes a connection to the Ollama API server.

This method initializes a new Ollama::Client instance with configured timeouts and connection parameters, then verifies that the connected server meets the minimum required API version (0.9.0). It sets the @ollama instance variable to the configured client and stores the version in @server_version.

Returns:

  • (Ollama::Client)

    the configured Ollama client instance

Raises:

  • (RuntimeError)

    if the connected Ollama server API version is less than 0.9.0

#interact_with_userObject (private)

The interact_with_user method manages the interactive loop for user input and chat processing. It handles reading user input, processing commands, managing messages, and communicating with the Ollama server. The method supports command completion, prefilling prompts, socket input handling, and various chat features including embedding context and voice support. It processes user input through command handling, content parsing, and message formatting before sending requests to the Ollama server. The method also handles server socket messages, manages chat history, and ensures proper cleanup and configuration handling throughout the interaction.
