react-litert-lm

A lightweight React integration layer for @litert-lm/core, crafted for elegant conversational UI workflows.

react-litert-lm gives you:

• A React provider that bootstraps a LiteRt engine cleanly
• Hook-driven chat flows for both non-streaming and streaming use cases
• Optional TanStack Query adapters for cache-aware and query-driven chat
• Minimal API surface with strong TypeScript support

---

🚀 Why this package

react-litert-lm is built to help React teams ship modern chat experiences with clarity and composability.

• Clean separation between engine setup and conversation behavior
• Streaming-ready response handling with incremental text rendering
• Optional query orchestration via @tanstack/react-query
• Designed for React 19 and @litert-lm/core

---

📦 Installation

npm install react-litert-lm
Copy

Peer dependencies: react, @litert-lm/core. @tanstack/react-query is optional and only required for the TanStack integrations.

✨ Quick start

Use LiteRtEngineProvider to wrap your app and initialize the engine once.

import { LiteRtEngineProvider, useLiteRtChatNonStream } from "react-litert-lm";

function Chat() {
  const { result, sendMessage, cancelMessage, isPending } = useLiteRtChatNonStream({
    preface: "You are an assistant that answers clearly.",
  });

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => sendMessage({ content: "Hello" })}>Send</button>
      {isPending && <span>Loading…</span>}
      {result && <p>{result.content}</p>}
      <button onClick={cancelMessage}>Cancel</button>
    </div>
  );
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <LiteRtEngineProvider model="gpt-4" backend="openai">
      <Chat />
    </LiteRtEngineProvider>
  );
}
Copy

🔥 Streaming chat

Stream messages in real time and render partial responses as they arrive.

import { useLiteRtChatStream } from "react-litert-lm";

function StreamingChat() {
  const { streamingText, sendMessage, isStreaming, cancelMessage, error } =
    useLiteRtChatStream({ preface: "You are a streaming assistant." });

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => sendMessage({ content: "Tell me a short story." })}>
        Start
      </button>
      {isStreaming ? <p>Streaming…</p> : <p>{streamingText}</p>}
      {error && <p style={{ color: "red" }}>{error.message}</p>}
      <button onClick={cancelMessage}>Cancel</button>
    </div>
  );
}
Copy

⚡ TanStack Query integration

Use TanStack React Query adapters for cache-backed chat requests and predictable network behavior.

import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from "@tanstack/react-query";
import { LiteRtEngineProvider } from "react-litert-lm";
import { useLiteRtChatNonStreamTanstackQuery } from "react-litert-lm/tanstack";

const queryClient = new QueryClient();

function QueryChat({ message }: { message: string }) {
  const { data, isFetching } = useLiteRtChatNonStreamTanstackQuery({
    message: { content: message },
    preface: "Answer in one sentence.",
  });

  return <div>{isFetching ? <span>Loading…</span> : <p>{data?.content}</p>}</div>;
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
      <LiteRtEngineProvider model="gpt-4" backend="openai">
        <QueryChat message="What is React?" />
      </LiteRtEngineProvider>
    </QueryClientProvider>
  );
}
