How to Use ChatGPT.js: A Comprehensive Guide

Jul 31, 2021 | Educational

Welcome to the exciting world of ChatGPT.js, a powerful client-side JavaScript library designed to simplify interactions with ChatGPT. Think of it as a friendly chat companion that understands and responds just like you want it to. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to import the library, use it effectively, and troubleshoot common issues.

About ChatGPT.js

ChatGPT.js is:

  • Feature-rich
  • Object-oriented
  • Easy-to-use
  • Lightweight and performant

Importing the Library

Before using ChatGPT.js, you need to import it into your project. You have options depending on your JavaScript version:

Using ES6


(async () => {
    await import('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@kudoai/chatgpt.js@3.3.1/dist/chatgpt.min.js');
    // Your code here...
})();

Using ES5


var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@kudoai/chatgpt.js@3.3.1/dist/chatgpt.min.js');
xhr.onload = function () {
    if (xhr.status === 200) {
        var chatgptJS = document.createElement('script');
        chatgptJS.textContent = xhr.responseText;
        document.head.append(chatgptJS);
        yourCode(); // runs your code
    }
};
xhr.send();

function yourCode() {
    // Your code here...
}

In these examples, importing the library is akin to sending an invitation to a party—once the library gets the invite, it joins the fun (or in this case, functionality)!

Usage

Now that you have ChatGPT.js set up, let’s see how to fetch responses:


chatgpt.getLastResponse();
chatgpt.getLastReply();
chatgpt.response.getLast();
chatgpt.get(reply, last);

Each of these commands fetches the latest response just like getting the most recent message in a conversation—just type, and it works!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sometimes things might not go as planned. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • Issue: Library not loading.
  • Solution: Check your internet connection and ensure you are using the correct URL for the library.
  • Issue: No response from ChatGPT.
  • Solution: Ensure that your code is correctly calling the fetch commands.
  • Issue: Getting errors in your console.
  • Solution: Review the provided code for syntax errors or typos.
