Hugging Face JS libraries

This is a collection of JS libraries to interact with the Hugging Face API, with TS types included.

• @huggingface/hub: Interact with huggingface.co to create or delete repos and commit / download files
• @huggingface/inference: Use the Inference API to make calls to Machine Learning models!

With more to come, like @huggingface/endpoints to manage your HF Endpoints!

We use modern features to avoid polyfills and dependencies, so the libraries will only work on modern browsers / Node.js >= 18 / Bun / Deno.

The libraries are still very young, please help us by opening issues!

Usage example

import { createRepo, commit } from "@huggingface/hub";
import { HfInference } from "@huggingface/inference";

// use an access token from your free account
const HF_ACCESS_TOKEN = "hf_...";

await createRepo({
  repo: {type: "model", name: "my-user/nlp-test"},
  credentials: {accessToken: HF_ACCESS_TOKEN}
});

await commit({
  repo: {type: "model", name: "my-user/nlp-test"},
  credentials: {accessToken: HF_ACCESS_TOKEN},
  title: "Add model file",
  operations: [{
    operation: "addOrUpdate",
    path: "pytorch_model.bin",
    content: new Blob(...) // Can work with native File in browsers
  }]
});

const inference = new HfInference(HF_ACCESS_TOKEN);

await inference.translation({
  model: 't5-base',
  inputs: 'My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin'
})

await inference.textToImage({
  inputs: 'award winning high resolution photo of a giant tortoise/((ladybird)) hybrid, [trending on artstation]',
  negative_prompt: 'blurry',
  model: 'stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2',
})

There are more features of course, check each library's README!

Formatting & testing

pnpm install

pnpm -r format
pnpm -r test

Building

pnpm -r build

This will generate ESM and CJS javascript files in packages/*/dist, eg packages/inference/dist/index.mjs.
