MindsDB JavaScript SDK

This SDK provides an interface to interact with the MindsDB API. It allows you to create and manage "minds" (AI models) and data sources.

Installation

npm install mindsdb_js_sdk

Configuration

The SDK uses environment variables or constructor parameters for configuration:

import Client from 'mindsdb_js_sdk';

// Default configuration (uses MINDS_API_KEY env variable and staging URL)
const client = new Client();

// Optional: Specify custom API key and base URL
const client = new Client('your_api_key', 'https://custom.mdb.ai');

Managing Data Sources

Creating a Data Source

const datasourceConfig = {
  name: 'my_postgres_db',
  engine: 'postgres',
  description: 'My PostgreSQL database',
  connection_data: {
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 5432,
    database: 'mydb',
    user: 'user',
    password: 'password'
  },
  tables: ['table1', 'table2']
};

// Create a new datasource
try {
  const datasource = await client.datasources.create(datasourceConfig);
  console.log('Datasource created:', datasource);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error creating datasource:', error);
}

// Create or replace existing datasource
try {
  const datasource = await client.datasources.create(datasourceConfig, true);
  console.log('Datasource created/replaced:', datasource);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error creating/replacing datasource:', error);
}

Listing Data Sources

try {
  const datasources = await client.datasources.list();
  console.log('Available datasources:', datasources);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error listing datasources:', error);
}

Getting a Data Source

try {
  const datasource = await client.datasources.get('my_postgres_db');
  console.log('Datasource details:', datasource);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error getting datasource:', error);
}

Deleting a Data Source

try {
  await client.datasources.drop('my_postgres_db');
  console.log('Datasource deleted');
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error deleting datasource:', error);
}

Managing Minds

Creating a Mind

const mindConfig = {
  name: 'my_mind',
  model_name: 'gpt-4',
  provider: 'openai',
  prompt_template: 'Use your database tools to answer the user\'s question: {{question}}',
  datasources: ['my_postgres_db'],
  parameters: {
    // Additional model parameters
  }
};

try {
  const mind = await client.minds.create('my_mind', mindConfig);
  console.log('Mind created:', mind);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error creating mind:', error);
}

Listing Minds

try {
  const minds = await client.minds.list();
  console.log('Available minds:', minds);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error listing minds:', error);
}

Getting a Mind

try {
  const mind = await client.minds.get('my_mind');
  console.log('Mind details:', mind);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error getting mind:', error);
}

Deleting a Mind

try {
  await client.minds.drop('my_mind');
  console.log('Mind deleted');
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error deleting mind:', error);
}

Using a Mind for Completion

try {
  // Synchronous completion
  const result = await mind.completion('Your query here');
  console.log('Completion result:', result);

  // Streaming completion
  await mind.completion('Your query here', true);
  // This will stream the result to stdout
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error getting completion:', error);
}

Error Handling

The SDK uses custom error classes for specific error scenarios:

• ObjectNotFound: Thrown when a requested resource doesn't exist
• ObjectNotSupported: Thrown for unsupported datasource types
• Forbidden: Thrown for permission-related issues
• Unauthorized: Thrown for authentication problems
• UnknownError: Thrown for unclassified errors

import { ObjectNotFound, ObjectNotSupported } from 'mindsdb_js_sdk/exception';

try {
  const mind = await client.minds.get('non_existent_mind');
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof ObjectNotFound) {
    console.error('Mind not found');
  } else if (error instanceof ObjectNotSupported) {
    console.error('Unsupported operation');
  } else {
    console.error('Unexpected error:', error);
  }
}

Notes

• The default prompt template is: "Use your database tools to answer the user's question: {{question}}"
• The SDK uses OpenAI's client for completions
• The base project is always set to 'mindsdb'
