Given an asychronous generator that produces text, this function iteratively polls that generator and inlines its results into the currently open RStudio or Positron document. This is particularly useful for streaming results from large language models.

Usage

stream(
  generator,
  context = active_document_context(),
  interface = c("prefix", "replace", "suffix")
)

Arguments

generator

A coro::generator() function.

context

Optional. An RStudio document context.

interface

One of "prefix", "replace", or "suffix", describing how to the active selection will be interfaced with. Defaults to "replace".

Value

The streamed result, invisibly; called for its side effect, modifying the context of the current selection with results from the generator.

Details

This function is generally not intended for interactive usage. See the gander, pal, and ensure package, which this package powers.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
if (rlang::is_installed("ellmer") &&
    !identical("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY", "") &&
    rstudioapi::isAvailable()
 ) {
  library(ellmer)

  gen <- chat_claude()$stream("hey there!")

  stream(gen, interface = "suffix")
}
} # }
