Chat with PDF

Quickstart Guide

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    terminal
    git clone https://github.com/1811-Labs-LLC/BuilderKit-Pro.git [YOUR_APP_NAME]
     
    cd [YOUR_APP_NAME]
     
    git checkout chat-with-pdf

    Remove the origin remote to ensure that you can work locally without pushing the changes back to the original repository.

    terminal
    git remote remove origin

    However, note that after removing the remote, you won't be able to switch between the branches, so you'll need to clone the repository again if you want to work on another branch.

  2. Install dependencies:

    terminal
    npm install
  3. Environment Variables:

    Copy the required variables from .env.example to .env.local as mentioned and update the values.

    terminal
    cp .env.example .env.local

    Or, manually create a .env.local file in the root directory with the following env variables (make sure to update the values with your actual keys):

    .env.local
    # Host
    NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=<your-app-url>
     
    # Supabase
    NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=<your-supabase-url>
    NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=<your-supabase-anon-key>
    SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=<your-supabase-service-role-key>
    SUPABASE_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME=<your-supabase-storage-bucket-name>
     
    # OpenAI
    OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-openai-api-key>
     
    # Pinecone
    PINECONE_API_KEY=<your-pinecone-api-key>
    PINECONE_INDEX_NAME=<your-pinecone-index-name>
     
    # Google Analytics
    NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_KEY=<your-google-analytics-key>

Setup Supabase

If you have not setup the supabase yet, go through the detailed documentation to set up the supabase for BuilderKit.ai. Make sure that you are creating the user table as mentioned in the supabase setup doc as it is required for the tool.

  1. Create Chat with PDF Table in Supabase:

    sql
    -- Create a table for Chat with File
    create table chat_with_file (
       id uuid not null default uuid_generate_v4 (),
       created_at timestamp with time zone not null default now(),
       user_id uuid not null,
       file text not null,
       filename text not null,
       chat_history jsonb null,
       history_metadata text null,
       constraint chat_with_file_pkey primary key (id),
       constraint chat_with_file_user_id_fkey foreign key (user_id) references users (id)
    );
     
    -- Set up Row Level Security (RLS)
    alter table chat_with_file
    enable row level security;
     
    create policy "Users can insert their own row." on chat_with_file
    for insert with check (auth.uid() = user_id);
     
    create policy "Users can update own row" on chat_with_file
    for update using (auth.uid() = user_id);
     
    -- Optional: Add policy to allow users to delete their own row
    create policy "Users can read own row" on chat_with_file
    for select using (auth.uid() = user_id);

    For all the tables, we enable the RLS policy by default with necessary permissions as mentioned in the script.

  2. Sync Supabase Types:

    To sync the supabase table schema with your project follow the steps here.

Running the Application

  1. Run the development server:

    terminal
    npm run dev

    This will start the development server on http://localhost:3000 (opens in a new tab).

  2. Build for production:

    terminal
    npm run build

    This command compiles the application for production usage.

  3. Start the production server:

    terminal
    npm start

    This will start the application in production mode.

Additional Scripts

  • Prepare Husky for Git hooks:

    terminal
    npm run prepare
  • Validate the code with Linting, Formatting & Typecheck:
