This is a modern web-based AI chat application I built to explore full-stack development, integrating a FastAPI backend with a clean vanilla JavaScript frontend. It leverages the GitHub Models API for AI responses, providing a seamless chat experience. + +## Overview of My Process + +This project was developed as part of my learning journey in building AI-powered applications. Here's a summary of the steps I took: + +### 1. Project Planning and Setup +- Conceptualized the idea of a simple yet functional AI chat assistant. +- Set up the project structure with separate backend and frontend directories. +- Chose FastAPI for the backend due to its speed and ease of use with Python, and vanilla JavaScript for the frontend to keep it lightweight without frameworks. + +### 2. Backend Development +- Built the API using FastAPI, including endpoints for health checks, chat interactions, and CORS middleware for frontend integration. +- Integrated the LLM module to connect with GitHub Models API, handling authentication via environment variables. +- Implemented proper error handling, logging, and request validation using Pydantic models. + +### 3. Frontend Development +- Created a responsive chat interface with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. +- Implemented real-time message handling, including user input, API calls, and dynamic message display. +- Added features like loading states, keyboard shortcuts (Enter to send), and accessibility attributes. + +### 4. Testing and Integration +- Tested the backend API endpoints locally. +- Ensured frontend-backend communication worked smoothly. +- Handled edge cases like empty messages and API errors. + +### 5. Version Control and Deployment Preparation +- Initialized Git in the project directory. +- Added all files to staging, committed with an initial message. +- Set up GitHub repository as remote origin and pushed the code to the main branch. +- Prepared documentation and setup instructions for others to run the project. + +Throughout the process, I focused on clean code, modularity, and best practices. The project demonstrates my skills in Python web development, JavaScript, API integration, and basic DevOps tasks like Git and environment management. ## Quick Start From 9bbe1e3d3a9600b54d057d202b06c0c849284426 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Smith <158531976+B3smoove@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2025 19:24:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 4/6] Add GitHub repository link to README.md --- README.md | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 01c31a9..a4b45bf 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -85,6 +85,10 @@ Open `frontend/index.html` in your web browser, or use VS Code's Live Server ext - `GET /health` - Health check - `POST /chat` - Send chat messages +## Repository + +The source code for this project is available on GitHub: [https://github.com/B3smoove/AI-Chat-Assistant](https://github.com/B3smoove/AI-Chat-Assistant) + ## Development - Backend: FastAPI with Python From 469aa8b377724522eae9f180405db38f2861abc1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Smith <158531976+B3smoove@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2025 19:27:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 5/6] Fix frontend API endpoint URL to match backend port 5000 --- frontend/app.js | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/frontend/app.js b/frontend/app.js index 4f4c9c1..65219e3 100644 --- a/frontend/app.js +++ b/frontend/app.js @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ class ChatApp { this.sendButton = document.getElementById("sendBtn"); // Backend configuration - this.BASE_URL = "http://localhost:5001"; + this.BASE_URL = "http://localhost:5000"; this.API_ENDPOINT = `${this.BASE_URL}/chat`; // Set welcome message time From ec622f505aa1abf18a910adfe9114edb728834cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Smith <158531976+B3smoove@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2025 19:51:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 6/6] Fix backend compatibility: downgrade Pydantic to 1.10.13 and update frontend port to 5001 --- backend/requirements.txt | 2 +- frontend/app.js | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/backend/requirements.txt b/backend/requirements.txt index e8d51a1..799d760 100644 --- a/backend/requirements.txt +++ b/backend/requirements.txt @@ -2,4 +2,4 @@ fastapi==0.104.1 uvicorn==0.24.0 openai==0.28.0 python-dotenv==1.0.0 -pydantic==2.5.0 +pydantic==1.10.13 diff --git a/frontend/app.js b/frontend/app.js index 65219e3..4f4c9c1 100644 --- a/frontend/app.js +++ b/frontend/app.js @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ class ChatApp { this.sendButton = document.getElementById("sendBtn"); // Backend configuration - this.BASE_URL = "http://localhost:5000"; + this.BASE_URL = "http://localhost:5001"; this.API_ENDPOINT = `${this.BASE_URL}/chat`; // Set welcome message time
