```

## What is it?

The `dash-ai-chat` library is a Dash app distributed as a Python package.

It contains basic UI elements and data persistence logic, and designed to be entirely customizable.

The default implementation contains only the essential elements with basic defaults, and pretty much everything is designed to be customized and changed.

Additional interactivity can easily be introduced using standard Dash callbacks. If you know Dash, it should be easy to pick up.

## Core API

### Basic Configuration

```python
from dash_ai_chat import DashAIChat

app = DashAIChat(                                 # A Dash sub-class
    base_dir="./chat_data",                       # Chat storage directory
    provider_spec="openai:chat.completions",      # AI provider specification
    provider_model="gpt-4o",                      # Default model
    **kwargs                                      # Additional Dash app parameters
)
```

## Customization

General workflow:

1. Create a class (sub-class of `DashAIChat`):

```python
from dash_ai_chat import DashAIChat

class MyCustomAIChat(DashAIChat):
    def default_method(self, ...):
        default_data = super().default_method()
        # add custom logic to default_data
```

2. Create an `app` instance, just you like you do with Dash:

```python
app = MyCustomAIChat(base_dir="my_base_dir")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)
```

#### In more detail:

### Custom System Messages

```python
class MyAssistant(DashAIChat):
    # override the default load_messages method:
    def load_messages(self, user_id: str, conversation_id: str):
        # default_data:
        messages = super().load_messages(user_id, conversation_id)
        # futher logic to customize what to do with loaded messages
        if not messages:
            messages = [{
                "role": "system",
                "content": "You are a helpful Python programming assistant."
            }]

        return messages
```

### UI Customization

Override any component to customize the interface:

```python
from dash import html

class CustomChat(DashAIChat):
    def header(self):
        default_header = super().header()
        return html.Div([
            html.H1("My Custom Chat", className="text-center"),
            html.Hr(),
            default_header
        ])

    def input_area(self):
        # Add custom elements to input area
        original = super().input_area()
        disclaimer = html.Div("AI responses may contain errors")
        return html.Div([original, disclaimer])
```

## Architecture

Dash AI Chat uses a clean, extensible architecture:

- **DashAIChat**: Main application class with overridable methods
- **Provider System**: Pluggable AI provider backends
- **Message Storage**: JSON-based persistent chat history
- **Component System**: Override any UI component

## Advanced Usage

### Custom Providers

```python
class MyCustomProvider:
    def client_factory(self):
        # Create your AI client
        return YourAIClient(api_key="your-key")
    
    def call(self, client, messages, model, **kwargs):
        # Call your AI API
        return client.chat(messages=messages, model=model, **kwargs)
    
    def extract(self, response):
        # Extract text from API response
        return response.choices[0].message.content
    
    def format_messages(self, messages):
        # Format messages for your API
        return messages

# Register and use your provider
app = DashAIChat(base_dir="./chat_data")
app.AI_REGISTRY["custom:provider"] = MyCustomProvider()
app.provider_spec = "custom:provider"
```
