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)
}
Create
import ollama from 'ollama'
const modelfile = `
FROM llama3.1
SYSTEM "You are mario from super mario bros."
`
await ollama.create({ model: 'example', modelfile: modelfile })
API
The Ollama JavaScript library's API is designed around the Ollama REST API
