Features

AI Search

The AISearch class provides methods to interact with Azure Cognitive Search service. It helps create, manage, and delete data sources, indexes, synonym maps, skillsets, and indexers.

// Initialize AISearch 
AISearch aisearch = new(KeyVault_Name: "YourKeyVaultName"); 
 
// Delete existing resources 
await aisearch.deleteExisting(); 
 
// Create a data source 
await aisearch.createDataSource_SDK(); 
 
// Create an index 
await aisearch.createIndex_SDK(); 
 
// Create a synonym map 
await aisearch.createSynonymMap_SDK(); 
 
// Create a skillset 
await aisearch.createSkillset_SDK(); 
 
// Create an indexer 
await aisearch.createIndexer_SDK();

// Query the search index
string results = await aisearch.Query(prompt: "YourSearchPrompt", type: "YourQueryType"); 

Event Hub

The EventHub class simplifies sending and receiving messages from Azure EventHub. It includes Sender and Receiver nested classes for sending and processing messages respectively.

var eventHub = new EventHub("YourKeyVaultName"); 
var sender = new EventHub.Sender(eventHub); 
await sender.Send("YourJsonString"); 
 
var receiver = new EventHub.Receiver(eventHub); 
await receiver.Process(); 

Key Vault

The KeyVault class provides methods to interact with Azure KeyVault service. It helps retrieve secret values stored in KeyVault using secret names.

KeyVault.SetName("YourKeyVaultName"); 
string secretValue = KeyVault.GetSecret("YourSecretName"); 

Log

Open AI

The OpenAI class facilitates interaction with the OpenAI API. It provides a method Prompt that you can use to send prompts to the OpenAI and retrieve the response.

var openAI = new OpenAI("YourKeyVaultName"); 
string result = await openAI.Prompt("Simple", "User message", "System message"); 

Storage

The Storage class allows you to interact with Azure Blob Storage. It provides a BlobContainerClient instance that you can use to manage blobs in a container.

var blobContainerClient = Storage.Client;
