That installs Ollama as a dependency in package.json.
Basic CLI example
At this point, we can start writing code. When we used the web service earlier this week, we used the generate endpoint and provided model, prompt, and stream as parameters. We set the stream parameter to false so that it would return a single response object instead of a stream of objects. When using the javascript library, the stream parameter isn’t necessary because it returns a single response object by default. We still provide it with a model and a prompt, though.
If you run it from the terminal, the response will look familiar.
If you npm install express to install express, you can host a simple HTTP page at port 8080 and with the magic of JSON.parse() and a for loop, you can build your unordered list.
Every time you load the page, it makes a server-side API call to Ollama, gets a list of large cities in Wisconsin, and displays them on the website. The list is never the same (because of hallucinations) but that is another issue.
