# IMG.LY AI Generation Utilities
A powerful toolkit for implementing AI generation providers in CreativeEditor SDK.
## Overview
**Note**: This package is only relevant if you need to create new AI providers or extend existing functionality. For simple integration of AI features, use the [@imgly/plugin-ai-apps-web](https://github.com/imgly/plugins/tree/main/packages/plugin-ai-apps-web) package instead.
This package provides the foundation for creating AI generation plugins for CreativeEditor SDK. It offers a standardized interface for implementing AI generation providers that can create images, videos, audio, or text assets. The package includes utilities for handling:
- Provider registration and initialization
- User interface generation
- Global action registry for quick actions and plugin actions
- Type-safe quick action definitions
- Cross-plugin action support
## Getting Started
### Installation
```bash
npm install @imgly/plugin-ai-generation-web
```
### Creating a Custom Provider
The core of this package is the `Provider` interface which defines the contract for AI generation providers. Here's how to implement a basic provider:
```typescript
import {
Provider,
ImageOutput,
initializeProvider,
loggingMiddleware,
CommonProviderConfiguration
} from '@imgly/plugin-ai-generation-web';
// Define your provider configuration interface
interface MyProviderConfiguration
extends CommonProviderConfiguration<MyInputType, ImageOutput> {
// Add any provider-specific configuration here
baseURL?: string;
}
// Create a provider factory function
function createMyImageProvider(config: MyProviderConfiguration): Provider<'image', MyInputType, ImageOutput> {
return {
// Unique identifier for this provider
id: 'my-image-provider',
// Define output asset type, other options are 'video', 'audio', 'text'
kind: 'image',
// Initialize the provider
initialize: async ({ engine, cesdk }) => {
// Setup APIs, register further components, etc.
myAIApi.configure({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
headers: config.headers // Use custom headers if provided
});
},
// Define input panel and UI components
input: {
// Define how the input panel is rendered
panel: {
// Option 1: Schema-based UI (using OpenAPI)
type: 'schema',
document: myApiSchema,
inputReference: '#/components/schemas/GenerationInput',
getBlockInput: async (input) => ({
image: { width: 1024, height: 1024 }
})
},
// Quick actions supported by this provider
quickActions: {
supported: {
'ly.img.editImage': {
mapInput: (input) => ({
prompt: input.prompt,
image_url: input.uri
})
},
'ly.img.styleTransfer': {
mapInput: (input) => ({
prompt: input.style,
image_url: input.uri
})
}
}
}
},
// Define output generation behavior
output: {
// Allow cancellation
abortable: true,
// Store generated assets, options are:
// - false: No history
// - '@imgly/local': In-memory storage (lost on refresh)
// - '@imgly/indexedDB': Browser IndexedDB storage
// - any other string: Handled as a custom asset source ID
history: '@imgly/indexedDB',
// Add middleware for pre/post-processing of the generation
middleware: [loggingMiddleware()],
// Configure success/error notifications
notification: {
success: {
show: true,
message: 'Generation successful!'
}
},
// Core generation function
generate: async (input, { abortSignal, engine }) => {
// Call your AI API and return result
const response = await myAIApi.generateImage(input, {
headers: config.headers // Pass custom headers to API
});
return {
kind: 'image',
url: response.imageUrl
};
}
}
};
}
// Usage example
const myImageProvider = createMyImageProvider({
proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy',
headers: {
'x-client-version': '1.0.0',
'x-request-source': 'cesdk-plugin'
},
debug: false,
middleware: [loggingMiddleware()],
baseURL: 'https://assets.example.com'
});
```
## Action Registry
The package includes a global `ActionRegistry` for managing quick actions and plugin actions. To register a new action:
```typescript
import { ActionRegistry } from '@imgly/plugin-ai-generation-web';
// Get the global registry instance
const registry = ActionRegistry.get();
// Register a quick action
const unregister = registry.register({
id: 'my-quick-action',
type: 'quick',
kind: 'image',
label: 'My Quick Action',
enable: true,
render: (context) => {
// Render the quick action UI
context.builder.Button('my-button', {
label: 'Generate',
onClick: async () => {
await context.generate({ prompt: 'Hello world' });
}
});
}
});
```
## Provider Interface
The Provider interface is generic and type-safe, supporting four output kinds:
```typescript
// K: Output kind ('image', 'video', 'audio', 'text')
// I: Input type specific to your provider, i.e. what does the generate function need
// O: Output type (ImageOutput, VideoOutput, AudioOutput, TextOutput)
// C: Chunk type for streaming (optional, defaults to O)
interface Provider<K extends OutputKind, I, O extends Output, C = O> { ... }
```
## Common Provider Configuration
All providers should extend the `CommonProviderConfiguration` interface, which provides standardized configuration options:
```typescript
interface CommonProviderConfiguration<I, O extends Output> {
// The proxy URL to use for the provider
proxyUrl: string;
// Enable debug mode for additional logging
debug?: boolean;
// Middleware for request/response processing
middleware?: Middleware<I, O>[];
// Custom headers to include in all API requests
headers?: Record<string, string>;
// Override provider's default history asset source
history?: false | '@imgly/local' | '@imgly/indexedDB' | (string & {});
// Configure supported quick actions
supportedQuickActions?: {
[quickActionId: string]: Partial<QuickActionSupport<I>> | false | null;
};
// Configure default property values
properties?: PropertiesConfiguration;
}
```
### Extended Configuration Options
#### History Configuration
The `history` field allows you to override the provider's default history storage behavior:
```typescript
const provider = createMyImageProvider({
proxyUrl: 'https://proxy.example.com',
// Disable history storage entirely
history: false,
// Or use temporary local storage (not persistent)
// history: '@imgly/local',
// Or use persistent browser storage (default for most providers)
// history: '@imgly/indexedDB',
// Or use a custom asset source ID
// history: 'my-custom-asset-source'
});
```
**Available Options:**
- `false`: Disable history storage entirely
- `'@imgly/local'`: Use temporary local storage (not persistent across sessions)
- `'@imgly/indexedDB'`: Use browser IndexedDB storage (persistent across sessions)
- `string`: Use your own custom asset source ID
#### Quick Actions Configuration
The `supportedQuickActions` field allows you to customize which quick actions are supported and how they behave:
```typescript
const provider = createMyImageProvider({
proxyUrl: 'https://proxy.example.com',
// Configure quick actions
supportedQuickActions: {
// Remove an unwanted quick action
'ly.img.editImage': false,
// Override with custom mapping
'ly.img.swapBackground': {
mapInput: (input) => ({
prompt: input.prompt,
image_url: input.uri,
strength: 0.9, // Custom strength
style: 'REALISTIC' // Force realistic style
})
},
// Add support for new quick action
'ly.img.customAction': {
mapInput: (input) => ({
prompt: `Custom prefix: ${input.text}`,
image_url: input.imageUrl
})
}
}
});
```
**Configuration Values:**
- `false` or `null`: Remove the quick action entirely
- `true`: Keep the provider's default implementation
- Object with `mapInput`: Override the quick action with custom input mapping
- Object with other properties: Override with custom configuration
#### Property Configuration
The `properties` field allows you to define default values for any provider property. These defaults can be static values or dynamic functions that receive context:
```typescript
const provider = createMyImageProvider({
proxyUrl: 'https://proxy.example.com',
// Configure default property values
properties: {
// Static default value
image_size: 'square_hd',
// Dynamic default based on context
style: (context) => {
// Context includes: engine, cesdk, locale
const locale = context.locale;
// Return different defaults for different locales
if (locale === 'de') {
return 'realistic';
}
return 'digital_illustration';
},
// Dynamic default based on design state
resolution: (context) => {
const engine = context.engine;
const scene = engine.scene.get();
const width = engine.block.getFloat(scene, 'scene/frame/width');
// Choose resolution based on canvas size
if (width > 1920) {
return '1080p';
}
return '720p';
}
}
});
```
**Property Configuration Features:**
- **Static Defaults**: Simple values that apply to all users
- **Dynamic Defaults**: Functions that return values based on context (engine state, locale, etc.)
- **Context Available**: `engine`, `cesdk`, `locale` for making informed decisions
- **Fallback Chain**: Properties use configured value → schema default → undefined
### Headers Configuration
The `headers` property allows you to include custom HTTP headers in all API requests made by your provider. This is useful for:
- Adding custom client identification headers
- Including version information
- Passing through metadata required by your API
- Adding correlation IDs for request tracing
**Implementation Note:** When implementing your provider's `generate` function, ensure you merge the custom headers with any required headers for your API:
```typescript
// In your generate function
const response = await fetch(apiUrl, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
...config.headers // Spread custom headers
},
body: JSON.stringify(requestData)
});
```
### Key Provider Options
- **id**: Unique identifier for your provider
- **kind**: Type of asset generated ('image', 'video', 'audio', 'text')
- **name**: Optional human-readable name
- **initialize**: Setup function called when the provider is loaded
- **input**: Configuration for input UI and parameters
- **output**: Configuration for generation and result handling
#### Provider Output Options
The `output` property has several important options:
- **generate**: Main function that performs the actual generation
- **history**: Asset storage strategy ('false', '@imgly/local', '@imgly/indexedDB', or custom ID)
- **abortable**: Whether generation can be cancelled by the user
- **middleware**: Array of middleware functions for pre/post-processing
- **notification**: Success and error notification configuration
- **generationHintText**: Text to display below the generation button
##### Notification Configuration
The notification system allows fine-grained control over success and error messages:
```typescript
notification: {
success: {
// Control whether to show notifications (can be dynamic)
show: true, // or (context) => shouldShow(context)
// Message text or i18n key (can be dynamic)
message: 'Generation successful!', // or (context) => getMessage(context)
// Optional action button
action: {
label: 'View', // or (context) => getLabel(context)
onClick: (context) => { /* handle click */ }
},
// How long to show the notification
duration: 'short' // or 'medium', 'long', 'infinite'
},
error: {
// Similar options for error notifications
show: true,
message: 'Generation failed', // or (context) => getErrorMessage(context)
// ...
}
}
```
##### Streaming Generation
The `generate` function can return a simple output object or an AsyncGenerator for streaming results:
```typescript
// Simple response
generate: async (input, options) => {
const result = await api.generateImage(input);
return { kind: 'image', url: result.url };
}
// Streaming response (currently only supported for text)
generate: async function* (input, options) {
const stream = api.streamGenerationResult(input);
let inferredText: string = '';
// Yield interim results
for await (const chunk of stream) {
inferredText += chunk;
yield { kind: 'text', text: inferredText };
}
// Return final result
return { kind: 'text', text: inferredText };
}
```
##### Generation Hint Text
The `generationHintText` property allows providers to display helpful information below the generation button:
```typescript
generationHintText: "Generation may take up to a minute. You can close this panel and will be notified when ready."
```
## Input Panel Types
The package supports two approaches for creating input panels:
### 1. Schema-based Input Panels
The `schema` type uses OpenAPI specification to declaratively define your input form.
```typescript
input: {
panel: {
type: 'schema',
// Complete OpenAPI v3 document describing your inputs
document: myOpenAPISchema,
// JSON pointer to your input schema within the document
inputReference: '#/components/schemas/GenerationInput',
// Optional property to control display order
orderExtensionKeyword: 'x-order-properties',
// Function that converts input to block parameters
getBlockInput: async (input) => ({
image: { width: 1024, height: 1024 }
}),
// Optional custom renderers for specific properties found in the schema
renderCustomProperty: {
// This is a custom renderer for a fictional `imageUrl` property
imageUrl: (context, property) => {
const valueState = context.state('imageUrl', '');
context.builder.TextInput('imageUrl', {
inputLabel: 'Image URL',
...valueState
});
// Return a function that returns the value for this property
return () => { id: property.id, type: 'string', value: valueState.value };
}
}
}
}
```
#### OpenAPI Schema Example
```json
{
"openapi": "3.0.0",
"components": {
"schemas": {
"GenerationInput": {
"type": "object",
"required": ["prompt"],
"properties": {
"prompt": {
"type": "string",
"title": "Prompt",
"description": "Describe what you want to generate",
"x-imgly-builder": {
"component": "TextArea"
}
},
"width": {
"type": "integer",
"title": "Width",
"default": 1024,
"enum": [512, 1024, 2048],
"x-imgly-builder": {
"component": "Select"
}
}
},
"x-order-properties": ["prompt", "width"]
}
}
}
}
```
#### Benefits of Schema-based Input
- Built-in validation based on schema constraints
- AI providers like fal.ai provide schemas for their models
- Automatic UI component generation based on property types
- Extensions like `x-imgly-builder` to specify component types
- Property ordering via `orderExtensionKeyword`
- Customizable property rendering with `renderCustomProperty`
### 2. Custom Input Panels
The `custom` type gives you complete control over UI components. For more details on how to build custom panels and see all available builder components, refer to the [Create a Custom Panel](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/user-interface/ui-extensions/create-custom-panel-d87b83/) guide.
```typescript
input: {
panel: {
type: 'custom',
render: (context, options) => {
// Use the builder pattern to create UI components
const promptState = context.state('prompt', '');
context.builder.TextArea('prompt', {
inputLabel: 'Prompt',
...promptState
});
// Set up width selection
const widthState = context.state('width', 1024);
context.builder.Select('width', {
inputLabel: 'Width',
options: [
{ value: 512, label: '512px' },
{ value: 1024, label: '1024px' },
{ value: 2048, label: '2048px' }
],
...widthState
});
// Return functions to get input values and block parameters
return {
// The input for the generate function
getInput: () => ({
prompt: promptState.value,
width: widthState.value
}),
// The input for the block creation
getBlockInput: () => ({
image: {
width: widthState.value,
height: widthState.value,
label: `AI Image: ${promptState.value.substring(0, 20)}...`
}
})
};
}
}
}
```
#### Benefits of Custom Input Panels
- Complete control over UI components and layout
- Complex logic between fields (dependencies, conditionals)
- Dynamic UI that changes based on user interactions
#### Panel User Flow Options
Both panel types accept additional configuration:
```typescript
panel: {
type: 'schema', // or 'custom'
// ...panel type specific options
// Control the generation flow
userFlow: 'placeholder', // or 'generation-only' (default)
// Include/exclude history library from panel
includeHistoryLibrary: true // (default)
}
```
- **userFlow**:
- `placeholder`: Creates a block as a placeholder with loading state when generation starts
- `generation-only`: Only triggers generation without creating a placeholder
- **includeHistoryLibrary**: Controls whether the history library is shown in the panel
## The `getBlockInput` Function
The `getBlockInput` function is crucial for both panel types. It converts your input into the parameters needed to create a block in CreativeEditor SDK.
### What It Does
- Defines dimensions, duration, and appearance of asset blocks
- Creates placeholders before generation completes
- Maps your AI provider's inputs to standardized block parameters
### Required Return Values by Output Kind
Each output kind requires specific parameters:
#### For Images
```typescript
getBlockInput: async (input) => ({
image: {
width: 1024, // Required - Width in pixels
height: 1024, // Required - Height in pixels
label: 'My Image' // Optional - Display name
}
});
```
#### For Videos
```typescript
getBlockInput: async (input) => ({
video: {
width: 1280, // Required - Width in pixels
height: 720, // Required - Height in pixels
duration: 10, // Required - Duration in seconds
label: 'My Video' // Optional - Display name
}
});
```
#### For Audio
```typescript
getBlockInput: async (input) => ({
audio: {
duration: 30, // Optional - Duration in seconds
thumbnailUrl: 'path/to/img.jpg', // Optional - URL for thumbnail
label: 'My Audio' // Optional - Display name
}
});
```
#### For Text
```typescript
getBlockInput: async (input) => ({
text: {
length: 250, // Required - Approximate character length
label: 'My Text' // Optional - Display name
}
});
```
## Quick Actions
Quick Actions provide context-aware AI generation capabilities directly in CreativeEditor SDK's canvas menu. Unlike panels (which appear in the side panel), quick actions appear when users select elements on the canvas.
### Available Quick Action IDs
Here are all the quick action IDs that can be used in the `supported` field of your provider configuration:
#### Image Quick Actions
- **`ly.img.artistTransfer`**: Transform image in the style of famous artists
- Input: `{ artist: string, uri: string }`
- **`ly.img.combineImages`**: Combine multiple images with instructions
- Input: `{ prompt: string, uris: string[], exportFromBlockIds: number[] }`
- **`ly.img.createVariant`**: Create a variation of the image
- Input: `{ prompt: string, uri: string }`
- **`ly.img.editImage`**: Change image based on description
- Input: `{ prompt: string, uri: string }`
- **`ly.img.remixPage`**: Convert the page into a single image
- Input: `{ prompt: string, uri: string }`
- **`ly.img.remixPageWithPrompt`**: Remix the page with custom instructions
- Input: `{ prompt: string, uri: string }`
- **`ly.img.styleTransfer`**: Transform image into different art styles
- Input: `{ style: string, uri: string }`
- **`ly.img.swapBackground`**: Change the background of the image
- Input: `{ prompt: string, uri: string }`
- **`ly.img.gpt-image-1.changeStyleLibrary`**: Apply different art styles (GPT-specific)
- Input: `{ prompt: string, uri: string }`
#### Text Quick Actions

- Input: `{ prompt: string, language: string }`
#### Video Quick Actions
- **`ly.img.createVideo`**: Opens the image2video generation panel with the current image
- Input: `{ uri: string }`
### Provider Quick Action Support
Providers declare which quick actions they support and how to map quick action inputs to provider inputs:
```typescript
const myProvider = {
// ... other provider config
input: {
// ... panel config
quickActions: {
supported: {
'ly.img.editImage': {
mapInput: (quickActionInput) => ({
prompt: quickActionInput.prompt,
image_url: quickActionInput.uri
})
},
'ly.img.styleTransfer': {
mapInput: (quickActionInput) => ({
style: quickActionInput.style,
image_url: quickActionInput.uri
})
}
}
}
}
};
```
### Quick Action Expanded View
Quick actions can have two rendering modes:
1. **Collapsed View**: Shows as a simple button in the quick action menu alongside other actions
2. **Expanded View**: Takes over the entire menu space, hiding other actions while the user interacts with this specific action
The expanded view is useful for quick actions that need user input (like text prompts). When a quick action is expanded, the complete menu is replaced with the expanded interface, and other menu items are not shown until the user either completes the action or cancels back to the collapsed view.
```typescript
render: ({ builder, isExpanded, toggleExpand }) => {
if (isExpanded) {
// Expanded view - takes over the entire menu
builder.TextArea('prompt', { /* input fields */ });
builder.ButtonRow('actions', { /* confirm/cancel buttons */ });
} else {
// Collapsed view - simple button alongside other actions
builder.Button('expand', {
label: 'Edit Image...',
onClick: toggleExpand
});
}
}
```
## Customizing Labels and Text
You can customize all labels and text in the AI generation interface using the translation system. This allows you to provide better labels for your users in any language.
### Translation Priority
The system checks for translations in this order (highest to lowest priority):
1. **Provider & Kind-specific**: `ly.img.plugin-ai-${kind}-generation-web.${provider}.property.${field}` - Override labels for a specific AI provider and generation type
2. **Generic**: `ly.img.plugin-ai-generation-web.property.${field}` - Override labels for all AI plugins
Where `${kind}` can be:
- `image` for image generation plugins
- `video` for video generation plugins
- `audio` for audio generation plugins
- `text` for text generation plugins
### Basic Example
```typescript
// Customize labels for your AI generation interface
cesdk.i18n.setTranslations({
en: {
// Generic labels (applies to ALL AI plugins)
'ly.img.plugin-ai-generation-web.property.prompt': 'Describe what you want to create',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-generation-web.property.image_size': 'Image Dimensions',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-generation-web.property.duration': 'Video Length',
// Provider-specific for images (highest priority)
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/recraft-v3.property.prompt': 'Describe your Recraft image',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/recraft-v3.property.image_size': 'Canvas Size',
// Provider-specific for videos (highest priority)
'ly.img.plugin-ai-video-generation-web.fal-ai/veo3.property.prompt': 'Describe your video scene',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-video-generation-web.fal-ai/veo3.property.duration': 'Video Duration'
}
});
```
### Customizing Input Placeholders
You can customize placeholder text for input fields (like the prompt textarea) using the same translation system. Placeholders help guide users on what to enter:
```typescript
cesdk.i18n.setTranslations({
en: {
// Generic placeholder (applies to ALL AI plugins)
'ly.img.plugin-ai-generation-web.property.prompt.placeholder':
'e.g., A serene mountain landscape at sunset...',
// Provider-specific placeholders (highest priority)
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/recraft-v3.property.prompt.placeholder':
'Describe your image in detail...',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/gemini-25-flash-image/edit.property.prompt.placeholder':
'Describe the changes you want to make...',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-video-generation-web.fal-ai/veo3.property.prompt.placeholder':
'Describe the video scene, camera movements, and style...'
}
});
```
**Translation Priority for Placeholders:**
Placeholders follow the same priority chain as labels:
1. `ly.img.plugin-ai-{kind}-generation-web.{provider.id}.property.{field}.placeholder` (highest)
2. `ly.img.plugin-ai-generation-web.property.{field}.placeholder`
3. `ly.img.plugin-ai-{kind}-generation-web.{provider.id}.defaults.property.{field}.placeholder`
4. `ly.img.plugin-ai-generation-web.defaults.property.{field}.placeholder` (lowest)
### Dropdown Options
For dropdown menus, add the option value to the translation key:
```typescript
cesdk.i18n.setTranslations({
en: {
// Image generation dropdown options
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/recraft-v3.property.image_size.square_hd': 'Square HD (1024×1024)',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/recraft-v3.property.image_size.portrait_4_3': 'Portrait 4:3 (768×1024)',
// Video generation dropdown options
'ly.img.plugin-ai-video-generation-web.fal-ai/veo3.property.duration.5': '5 seconds',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-video-generation-web.fal-ai/veo3.property.duration.10': '10 seconds'
}
});
```
### QuickAction Translations
QuickActions use their own translation keys with provider-specific overrides:
```typescript
cesdk.i18n.setTranslations({
en: {
// Provider-specific translations (highest priority)
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/gemini-flash-edit.quickAction.editImage': 'Edit with Gemini',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.anthropic.quickAction.improve': 'Improve with Claude',
// Generic plugin translations
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.editImage': 'Edit Image...',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.editImage.prompt': 'Edit Image...',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.editImage.apply': 'Change',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.improve': 'Improve Text',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.translate': 'Translate Text',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-video-generation-web.quickAction.createVideo': 'Create Video'
}
});
```
**QuickAction Translation Priority:**
1. Provider-specific: `ly.img.plugin-ai-${kind}-generation-web.${provider}.quickAction.${action}.${field}`
2. Generic plugin: `ly.img.plugin-ai-${kind}-generation-web.quickAction.${action}.${field}`
**Translation Structure:**
- Base key (e.g., `.quickAction.editImage`): Button text when QuickAction is collapsed
- `.prompt`: Label for input field when expanded
- `.prompt.placeholder`: Placeholder text for input field
- `.apply`: Text for action/submit button
## Using Your Provider
Once you've created your provider, you need to initialize it with CreativeEditor SDK and integrate it into the UI.
### Initializing Your Provider
Use the `initializeProvider` function to register your provider:
```typescript
import { initializeProvider } from '@imgly/plugin-ai-generation-web';
// Create your provider
const myProvider = createMyProvider({
proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy',
headers: {
'x-custom-header': 'value',
'x-client-version': '1.0.0'
}
});
// Initialize the provider
function setupMyProvider(cesdk) {
const result = initializeProvider(
myProvider,
{
engine: cesdk.engine,
cesdk
},
{
debug: false,
dryRun: false
}
);
return result;
}
```
### Panel IDs and Registration
When a provider is initialized, it automatically registers panels with specific IDs:
```
ly.img.plugin-ai-{kind}-generation-web.{provider-id}
```
For example:
- A provider with ID `my-image-provider` for images registers a panel with ID `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.my-image-provider`
- A provider with ID `fal-ai/recraft-v3` for images registers a panel with ID `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/recraft-v3`
You can programmatically get a panel ID using the `getPanelId` function:
```typescript
import { getPanelId } from '@imgly/plugin-ai-generation-web';
// Get panel ID for a provider
const panelId = getPanelId('my-image-provider');
// Open the panel
cesdk.ui.openPanel(panelId);
```
### Quick Action Menu Registration
Quick actions are automatically registered in canvas menus with these IDs:
```
ly.img.plugin-ai-{kind}-generation-web.canvasMenu
```
For example:
- Image quick actions: `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.canvasMenu`
- Video quick actions: `ly.img.plugin-ai-video-generation-web.canvasMenu`
- Audio quick actions: `ly.img.plugin-ai-audio-generation-web.canvasMenu`
- Text quick actions: `ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.canvasMenu`
### Customizing Quick Action Availability
You can control which quick actions appear in your application using the Feature API. This is useful when you want to:
- Show only specific AI capabilities to certain user groups
- Simplify the UI by hiding advanced features
- Create different feature sets for different subscription tiers
- Disable actions that aren't relevant to your use case
#### Disabling Specific Quick Actions
All quick actions are enabled by default. To hide specific quick actions from the UI:
```typescript
// Hide the "Edit Image" quick action from users
cesdk.feature.enable(
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.editImage',
false
);
// Hide multiple text quick actions for a simpler experience
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.changeTone', false);
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.translate', false);
```
#### Dynamic Feature Control
You can also pass a function to dynamically control feature availability based on context. This is powerful for implementing complex business logic, time-based features, or context-sensitive UI. See the [CE.SDK Feature API documentation](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/user-interface/customization/disable-or-enable-f058e2/) for more details.
```typescript
// Show advanced AI features only during business hours
cesdk.feature.enable(
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.artistTransfer',
({ isPreviousEnable }) => {
const hour = new Date().getHours();
const isBusinessHours = hour >= 9 && hour < 18;
return isBusinessHours && isPreviousEnable();
}
);
// Disable certain quick actions based on selected content
cesdk.feature.enable(
'ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.translate',
({ engine, isPreviousEnable }) => {
const selectedBlocks = engine.block.findAllSelected();
if (selectedBlocks.length === 0) return false;
const blockId = selectedBlocks[0];
const textContent = engine.block.getString(blockId, 'text/text');
// Only show translate if text is long enough
const hasEnoughText = textContent && textContent.length > 20;
return hasEnoughText && isPreviousEnable();
}
);
```
#### Creating Feature Sets for Different User Tiers
```typescript
// Configure features based on user subscription
function configureAIFeatures(cesdk, userTier) {
if (userTier === 'basic') {
// Basic users only get simple text improvements
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.improve', true);
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.fix', true);
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.translate', false);
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.changeTone', false);
// Disable advanced image features
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.artistTransfer', false);
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.styleTransfer', false);
} else if (userTier === 'premium') {
// Premium users get all features (default behavior)
// All quick actions are enabled by default
}
}
```
#### Available Feature Flags
##### Core Plugin Features
These feature flags control the main functionality of each AI plugin:
**General Features:**
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-{kind}-generation-web.providerSelect` - Enable/disable provider selection dropdown in panels
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-{kind}-generation-web.quickAction` - Enable/disable all quick actions for a plugin
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-{kind}-generation-web.quickAction.providerSelect` - Enable/disable provider selection dropdown in quick actions
**Input Type Features (Image & Video only):**
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fromText` - Enable/disable text-to-image generation
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fromImage` - Enable/disable image-to-image generation
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-video-generation-web.fromText` - Enable/disable text-to-video generation
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-video-generation-web.fromImage` - Enable/disable image-to-video generation
**Usage Examples:**
```typescript
// Hide provider selection dropdown in video generation panel
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-video-generation-web.providerSelect', false);
// Only allow text-to-image, disable image-to-image editing
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fromImage', false);
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fromText', true);
// Hide provider selection dropdown in quick actions (use default provider only)
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.providerSelect', false);
// Disable all quick actions but keep panel generation available
cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction', false);
```
##### Quick Action Features
The quick action feature flags follow this pattern: `ly.img.plugin-ai-{kind}-generation-web.quickAction.{actionName}`
**Image Quick Actions:**
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.editImage`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.swapBackground`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.styleTransfer`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.artistTransfer`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.createVariant`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.combineImages`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.remixPage`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.quickAction.remixPageWithPrompt`
**Text Quick Actions:**
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.improve`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.fix`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.shorter`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.longer`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.changeTone`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.translate`
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-text-generation-web.quickAction.changeTextTo`
**Video Quick Actions:**
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-video-generation-web.quickAction.createVideo`
**Note:** Quick actions are automatically enabled when their plugin is loaded. Each quick action manages its own feature flag internally, ensuring proper initialization and registration.
##### Provider-Specific Style Features
Some providers (like RecraftV3 and Recraft20b) support style groups that can be controlled independently:
**RecraftV3 Style Groups:**
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/recraft-v3.style.image` - Enable/disable image styles (realistic, digital illustration)
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/recraft-v3.style.vector` - Enable/disable vector styles (vector illustration and variants)
**Recraft20b Style Groups:**
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/recraft/v2/text-to-image.style.image` - Enable/disable image styles
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/recraft/v2/text-to-image.style.vector` - Enable/disable vector styles
- `ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.fal-ai/recraft/v2/text-to-image.style.icon` - Enable/disable icon styles
When all style groups are disabled for a provider, it automatically falls back to the 'any' style. For more details on style control, see the [@imgly/plugin-ai-image-generation-web documentation](https://github.com/imgly/plugins/tree/main/packages/plugin-ai-image-generation-web).
### Using with Existing AI Generation Plugins
IMG.LY offers several pre-built AI generation packages that work with this base plugin:
```typescript
import CreativeEditorSDK from '@cesdk/cesdk-js';
// Import plugin packages
import ImageGeneration from '@imgly/plugin-ai-image-generation-web';
import FalAiImage from '@imgly/plugin-ai-image-generation-web/fal-ai';
import VideoGeneration from '@imgly/plugin-ai-video-generation-web';
import FalAiVideo from '@imgly/plugin-ai-video-generation-web/fal-ai';
// Initialize CreativeEditor SDK
CreativeEditorSDK.create(domElement, {
license: 'your-license-key'
}).then(async (cesdk) => {
// Add default asset sources
await cesdk.addDefaultAssetSources();
// Image generation with Fal.ai models
cesdk.addPlugin(
ImageGeneration({
text2image: FalAiImage.RecraftV3({
proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy'
}),
// Alternative: FalAiImage.Recraft20b({ proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy' }),
image2image: FalAiImage.GeminiFlashEdit({
proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy'
})
})
);
// Video generation
cesdk.addPlugin(
VideoGeneration({
text2video: FalAiVideo.MinimaxVideo01Live({
proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy'
})
})
);
// Add quick action menus to canvas
cesdk.ui.setCanvasMenuOrder([
'ly.img.plugin-ai-image-generation-web.canvasMenu',
'ly.img.plugin-ai-video-generation-web.canvasMenu',
...cesdk.ui.getCanvasMenuOrder()
]);
});
```
## Advanced Features
### Middleware
The package includes a middleware system to augment the generation flow:
#### Rate Limiting Middleware
```typescript
import { rateLimitMiddleware } from '@imgly/plugin-ai-generation-web';
// Create a rate limiting middleware
const rateLimit = rateLimitMiddleware({
maxRequests: 10,
timeWindowMs: 60000, // 1 minute
onRateLimitExceeded: (input, options, info) => {
console.log(
`Rate limit exceeded: ${info.currentCount}/${info.maxRequests}`
);
return false; // Reject request
}
});
// Apply middleware to your provider
const provider = {
// ...provider config
output: {
middleware: [rateLimit]
// ...other output config
}
};
```
**Note**: This middleware provides client-side rate limiting for UI purposes only. Always implement proper server-side rate limiting and authentication for production APIs.
#### Upload Middleware
The `uploadMiddleware` allows you to upload generated content to your own servers:
```typescript
import { uploadMiddleware } from '@imgly/plugin-ai-generation-web';
// Create an upload middleware
const upload = uploadMiddleware(async (output) => {
// Upload the output to your server/storage
const response = await fetch('https://your-api.example.com/upload', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify(output)
});
const result = await response.json();
// Return the output with the updated URL
return {
...output,
url: result.url
};
});
// Apply middleware to your provider
const provider = {
// ...provider config
output: {
middleware: [upload]
// ...other output config
}
};
```
#### Preventing Default Feedback
Middleware can suppress default UI feedback behaviors (notifications, block states, console logging) using `options.preventDefault()`. This is useful when you want to handle success or error feedback yourself:
```typescript
const customErrorMiddleware: Middleware<any, any> = async (input, options, next) => {
try {
return await next(input, options);
} catch (error) {
// Prevent default error notification and block error state
options.preventDefault();
// When preventDefault() is called, you need to handle the block state yourself.
// Here we set the error state to mimic the default behavior:
options.blockIds?.forEach(blockId => {
if (options.engine.block.isValid(blockId)) {
options.engine.block.setState(blockId, { type: 'Error', error: 'Unknown' });
}
});
// Alternative: Delete the placeholder block instead
// options.blockIds?.forEach(blockId => {
// if (options.engine.block.isValid(blockId)) {
// options.engine.block.destroy(blockId);
// }
// });
// Show custom notification
options.cesdk?.ui.showNotification({
type: 'error',
message: `Custom error: ${error.message}`,
duration: 5000,
action: {
label: 'Contact Support',
onClick: () => window.open('mailto:support@example.com')
}
});
throw error;
}
};
```
**What gets prevented:**
- Error/success notifications (toast messages)
- Block error state (error icon)
- Console error logging
**What is NOT prevented:**
- Pending → Ready transition (loading spinner always stops)
**Common use cases:**
**1. Custom Error Notifications:**
```typescript
const middleware = async (input, options, next) => {
try {
return await next(input, options);
} catch (error) {
options.preventDefault();
// When preventDefault() is called, you need to handle the block state yourself.
// Here we set the error state to mimic the default behavior:
options.blockIds?.forEach(blockId => {
if (options.engine.block.isValid(blockId)) {
options.engine.block.setState(blockId, { type: 'Error', error: 'Unknown' });
}
});
options.cesdk?.ui.showNotification({
type: 'error',
message: `Generation failed: ${error.message}`,
action: { label: 'Retry', onClick: () => retry() }
});
throw error;
}
};
```
**2. Silent Failures with External Logging:**
```typescript
const middleware = async (input, options, next) => {
try {
return await next(input, options);
} catch (error) {
options.preventDefault();
errorTracker.capture({ error, context: { input, blockIds: options.blockIds } });
throw error;
}
};
```
**3. Retry Logic:**
```typescript
const retryMiddleware = async (input, options, next) => {
const maxRetries = 3;
let attempt = 0;
while (attempt < maxRetries) {
try {
return await next(input, options);
} catch (error) {
attempt++;
if (attempt < maxRetries) {
options.preventDefault();
options.cesdk?.ui.showNotification({
type: 'info',
message: `Retrying... (${attempt}/${maxRetries})`
});
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
} else {
options.preventDefault();
// When preventDefault() is called, you need to handle the block state yourself.
// After final retry failure, you might want to delete the placeholder:
options.blockIds?.forEach(blockId => {
if (options.engine.block.isValid(blockId)) {
options.engine.block.destroy(blockId); // Remove failed placeholder
}
});
options.cesdk?.ui.showNotification({
type: 'error',
message: `Failed after ${maxRetries} attempts`
});
throw error;
}
}
}
};
```
### Provider Registry
The `ProviderRegistry` is a global singleton that manages all registered providers:
```typescript
import { ProviderRegistry } from '@imgly/plugin-ai-generation-web';
// Get the global registry
const registry = ProviderRegistry.get();
// Get all registered providers
const allProviders = registry.getAll();
// Get providers by kind
const imageProviders = registry.getByKind('image');
// Find a specific provider
const myProvider = registry.getById('my-provider-id');
```
## TypeScript Support
This package is fully typed with TypeScript, providing excellent IntelliSense support during development:
- **Generic Provider Types**: Strongly typed providers with input/output validation
- **Quick Action Types**: Type-safe quick action definitions with proper input mapping
- **Registry Types**: Fully typed action and provider registries
- **Middleware Types**: Typed middleware functions for better composition
## API Reference
### Core Exports
```typescript
// Provider types and interfaces
export { Provider, ImageOutput, VideoOutput, AudioOutput, TextOutput } from './core/provider';
// Action registry
export { ActionRegistry, QuickActionDefinition, PluginActionDefinition } from './core/ActionRegistry';
// Provider registry
export { ProviderRegistry } from './core/ProviderRegistry';
// Initialization functions
export { initializeProvider, initializeProviders } from './providers/';
// Middleware
export { loggingMiddleware, rateLimitMiddleware, uploadMiddleware } from './middleware/';
// Utilities
export { getPanelId, enableQuickActionForImageFill, mergeQuickActionsConfig } from './utils/';
```
### Initialization Functions
#### initializeProviders
The `initializeProviders` function is used to initialize multiple providers at once. It creates a composite history asset source and library entry for all providers of the same kind.
```typescript
const result = await initializeProviders(
providers,
{ engine, cesdk },
config
);
// Return value structure:
{
panel: {
builderRenderFunction: Function // UI builder function for provider selection
},
history: {
assetSourceId: string, // ID of the composite history asset source
assetLibraryEntryId: string // ID of the automatically created asset library entry
},
providerInitializationResults: Array<{
provider: Provider,
result: ProviderInitializationResult
}>
}
```
**Key Points:**
- Creates a composite history asset source with ID format: `ly.img.plugin-ai-{kind}-generation-web.history`
- Automatically creates an asset library entry with the same ID as the asset source
- The library entry is configured with appropriate settings (sortBy: insertedAt descending, canRemove: true, etc.)
- Returns both the asset source ID and library entry ID for reference
### Common Types
```typescript
// Provider configuration
interface CommonProviderConfiguration<I, O extends Output> {
proxyUrl: strin
