nb.Providers.Abstractions

Interface for building AI provider plugins for NotaBene (nb).

Installation

dotnet add package nb.Providers.Abstractions

Usage

Implement IChatClientProvider to create a custom LLM integration:

using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;

namespace nb.Providers;

public class MyProvider : IChatClientProvider
{
    public string Name => "MyProvider";

    public string[] RequiredConfigKeys => new[] { "ApiKey", "Endpoint" };

    public bool CanCreate(IConfiguration config) =>
        RequiredConfigKeys.All(key => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(config[key]));

    public IChatClient CreateClient(IConfiguration config)
    {
        var apiKey = config["ApiKey"];
        var endpoint = config["Endpoint"];
        var model = config["Model"] ?? "default-model";

        // Create your IChatClient implementation here
        // Most LLM SDKs provide Microsoft.Extensions.AI adapters
        return new MyLlmClient(endpoint, apiKey, model);
    }
}

Project Setup

Your provider project needs:

<PropertyGroup>
  <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
  <AssemblyName>MyProvider</AssemblyName>
  <RootNamespace>nb.Providers</RootNamespace>
  <CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>true</CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>
</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="nb.Providers.Abstractions" Version="1.0.0" />
  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.AI" Version="9.9.1" />
  
</ItemGroup>

Key settings:

  • RootNamespace must be nb.Providers
  • CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies bundles dependencies with your DLL

Deployment

  1. Build your provider: dotnet build -c Release
  2. Copy all output DLLs to nb/bin/.../providers/myprovider/
  3. Add configuration to appsettings.json:
{
  "ActiveProvider": "MyProvider",
  "ChatProviders": [
    {
      "Name": "MyProvider",
      "ApiKey": "your-api-key",
      "Endpoint": "https://api.example.com"
    }
  ]
}
  1. Restart nb
