rpg-rag

This project uses Quarkus, the Supersonic Subatomic Java Framework.

If you want to learn more about Quarkus, please visit its website: https://quarkus.io/.

Running the application in dev mode

You can run your application in dev mode that enables live coding using:

./mvnw quarkus:dev

NOTE: Quarkus now ships with a Dev UI, which is available in dev mode only at http://localhost:8080/q/dev/.

Packaging and running the application

The application can be packaged using:

./mvnw package

It produces the quarkus-run.jar file in the target/quarkus-app/ directory. Be aware that it’s not an über-jar as the dependencies are copied into the target/quarkus-app/lib/ directory.

The application is now runnable using java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar.

If you want to build an über-jar, execute the following command:

./mvnw package -Dquarkus.package.jar.type=uber-jar

The application, packaged as an über-jar, is now runnable using java -jar target/*-runner.jar.

Creating a native executable

You can create a native executable using:

./mvnw package -Dnative

Or, if you don't have GraalVM installed, you can run the native executable build in a container using:

./mvnw package -Dnative -Dquarkus.native.container-build=true

You can then execute your native executable with: ./target/rpg-rag-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner

If you want to learn more about building native executables, please consult https://quarkus.io/guides/maven-tooling.

Provided Code

LangChain4j Easy RAG

This code is a very basic sample service to start developing with Quarkus LangChain4j using Easy RAG.

You have to add an extension that provides an embedding model. For that, you can choose from the plethora of extensions like quarkus-langchain4j-openai, quarkus-langchain4j-ollama, or import an in-process embedding model - these have the advantage of not having to send data over the wire.

In ./easy-rag-catalog/ you can find a set of example documents that will be used to create the RAG index which the bot (src/main/java/org/acme/Bot.java) will ingest.

On first run, the bot will create the RAG index and store it in easy-rag-catalog.json file and reuse it on subsequent runs. This can be disabled by setting the quarkus.langchain4j.easy-rag.reuse-embeddings.enabled property to false.

Add it to a Rest endpoint:

    @Inject
    Bot bot;
    
    @POST
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public String chat(String q) {
        return bot.chat(q);
    }

In a more complete example, you would have a web interface and use websockets that would provide more interactive experience, see ChatBot Easy RAG Sample for such an example.
