<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*T81pnKMKW707r2W_6FXYhw.jpeg"></figure>In this tutorial, we will walk you through how to integrate OpenAI’s GPT model into a React JS project. Our example project will be a simple tool for getting responses from the GPT model, but you can easily extend this concept to other applications.
<h3>Setup</h3>
Firstly, make sure you have React JS installed and your project set up. You will also need an API key from OpenAI, which you can get by signing up on their <a href="https://platform.openai.com/">website</a>.
<h3>Building the Interface</h3>
First, let’s set up the interface for our application. We’ll need a form where users can input their text, and a section to display the generated response. We’ll also have a button to submit the text to GPT for processing. For this example, we’ll use React Bootstrap for the UI components.
<pre>import React, { useState } from 'react' import { Button, Form } from 'react-bootstrap' import axios from 'axios' function GptResponse() { // Initialize state variables const [text, setText] = useState("") const [response, setResponse] = useState("") // Function to submit the user's text to GPT const handleSubmit = async (event) =&gt; { event.preventDefault(); try { const response = await axios.post( 'https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions', { model: 'text-davinci-002', messages: [ { role: 'system', content: 'You are a helpful assistant.', }, { role: 'user', content: text, }, ], }, { headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + 'YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, } ) if (response.data) { setResponse(response.data.choices[0].message.content); } } catch (error) { console.error(error); } } const handleTextChange = (event) =&gt; { setText(event.target.value) } return ( &lt;Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}&gt; &lt;Form.Group controlId="text"&gt; &lt;Form.Label&gt;Enter your text&lt;/Form.Label&gt; &lt;Form.Control as="textarea" rows={3} onChange={handleTextChange} value={text} /&gt; &lt;/Form.Group&gt; &lt;Button variant="primary" type="submit"&gt; Submit &lt;/Button&gt; &lt;Form.Group controlId="response"&gt; &lt;Form.Label&gt;Generated Response&lt;/Form.Label&gt; &lt;Form.Control as="textarea" rows={3} readOnly value={response} /&gt; &lt;/Form.Group&gt; &lt;/Form&gt; ) } export default GptResponse</pre>
Remember to replace 'YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY' with your actual OpenAI API key.
<h3>Let’s break down the axios.post() call:</h3>
<pre>const response = await axios.post( 'https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions', { model: 'text-davinci-002', messages: [ { role: 'system', content: 'You are a helpful assistant.', }, { role: 'user', content: text, }, ], }, { headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + 'YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, } )</pre>
This is a call to OpenAI’s API, specifically to the endpoint that allows us to chat with the GPT model.
<ul>
<li>https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions: This is the URL of the API endpoint. It's responsible for receiving our request and returning the model's response.</li>
<li>model: 'text-davinci-002': This specifies the model we want to use for generating text. In this case, we're using the 'text-davinci-002' model.</li>
<li>messages: This is an array of message objects. Each message object has two properties: 'role' and 'content'. The 'role' can be 'system', 'user', or 'assistant', and 'content' is the text of the message.</li>
<li>The first message, with ‘role’ set to ‘system’, is used to set up the behavior of the ‘assistant’ — which is how GPT perceives its own role in the conversation. In this case, it’s told “You are a helpful assistant.”</li>
<li>The second message, with ‘role’ set to ‘user’, is the input from the user — the text we want the model to respond to.</li>
<li>headers: This includes authorization and content type information required by the API. 'Authorization' is your OpenAI API key, prefixed with 'Bearer '. 'Content-Type' should be set to 'application/json' to indicate that we're sending JSON data.</li>
<li>await axios.post(...): The await keyword is used with axios.post to make the HTTP POST request to the OpenAI API. This is an asynchronous operation, meaning that it might take some time to complete and receive a response. The await keyword ensures that JavaScript waits until it receives the response before moving on to the next line of code.</li>
</ul>
Finally, the response from the API is stored in the response variable, ready to be used in your application.
That’s all for the basic integration of OpenAI’s GPT into a React JS project! You can now take the user’s text, send it to GPT for processing, and display the generated response in your application.
