Ollama JavaScript Library

The Ollama JavaScript library provides the easiest way to integrate your JavaScript project with Ollama.

Getting Started

npm i ollama

Usage

import ollama from 'ollama'

const response = await ollama.chat({
  model: 'llama3.1',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Why is the sky blue?' }],
})
console.log(response.message.content)

Browser Usage

To use the library without node, import the browser module.

import ollama from 'ollama/browser'

Streaming responses

Response streaming can be enabled by setting stream: true, modifying function calls to return an AsyncGenerator where each part is an object in the stream.

import ollama from 'ollama'

const message = { role: 'user', content: 'Why is the sky blue?' }
const response = await ollama.chat({ model: 'llama3.1', messages: [message], stream: true })
for await (const part of response) {
  process.stdout.write(part.message.content)
}

- options <Options>: (Optional) Options to configure the runtime.
Returns: <EmbedResponse>

ps

ollama.ps()

Returns: <ListResponse>

abort

ollama.abort()

This method will abort all streamed generations currently running with the client instance. If there is a need to manage streams with timeouts, it is recommended to have one Ollama client per stream.

All asynchronous threads listening to streams (typically the for await (const part of response)) will throw an AbortError exception. See examples/abort/abort-all-requests.ts for an example.

Custom client

A custom client can be created with the following fields:

host <string>: (Optional) The Ollama host address. Default: "http://127.0.0.1:11434".
fetch <Object>: (Optional) The fetch library used to make requests to the Ollama host.

import { Ollama } from 'ollama'

const ollama = new Ollama({ host: 'http://127.0.0.1:11434' })
const response = await ollama.chat({
  model: 'llama3.1',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Why is the sky blue?' }],
})
