This plugin allows services to connect to OpenAI, enabling easy access to OpenAI’s powerful language models and AI capabilities.

​
Usage

Add shuttle-openai to the dependencies for your service by running cargo add shuttle-openai. This resource will be provided by adding the shuttle_openai::OpenAI attribute to your Shuttle main decorated function. It returns an async_openai::Client<OpenAIConfig> for you to interact with OpenAI’s services.

​
Example

In the case of an Axum server, your main function will look like this: 
use async_openai::{Client, config::OpenAIConfig};
use shuttle_axum::ShuttleAxum;

#[shuttle_runtime::main]
async fn app(
    #[shuttle_openai::OpenAI(api_key = "{secrets.OPENAI_API_KEY}")]
    openai: Client<OpenAIConfig>,
) -> ShuttleAxum {
    // Your app logic here
}
