# 👋 Wondering what everything in here does?
|
|
|
|
`openai` supports a wide variety of runtime environments like Node.js, Deno, Bun, browsers, and various
|
|
edge runtimes, as well as both CommonJS (CJS) and EcmaScript Modules (ESM).
|
|
|
|
To do this, `openai` provides shims for either using `node-fetch` when in Node (because `fetch` is still experimental there) or the global `fetch` API built into the environment when not in Node.
|
|
|
|
It uses [conditional exports](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#conditional-exports) to
|
|
automatically select the correct shims for each environment. However, conditional exports are a fairly new
|
|
feature and not supported everywhere. For instance, the TypeScript `"moduleResolution": "node"`
|
|
|
|
setting doesn't consult the `exports` map, compared to `"moduleResolution": "nodeNext"`, which does.
|
|
Unfortunately that's still the default setting, and it can result in errors like
|
|
getting the wrong raw `Response` type from `.asResponse()`, for example.
|
|
|
|
The user can work around these issues by manually importing one of:
|
|
|
|
- `import 'openai/shims/node'`
|
|
- `import 'openai/shims/web'`
|
|
|
|
All of the code here in `_shims` handles selecting the automatic default shims or manual overrides.
|
|
|
|
### How it works - Runtime
|
|
|
|
Runtime shims get installed by calling `setShims` exported by `openai/_shims/registry`.
|
|
|
|
Manually importing `openai/shims/node` or `openai/shims/web`, calls `setShims` with the respective runtime shims.
|
|
|
|
All client code imports shims from `openai/_shims/index`, which:
|
|
|
|
- checks if shims have been set manually
|
|
- if not, calls `setShims` with the shims from `openai/_shims/auto/runtime`
|
|
- re-exports the installed shims from `openai/_shims/registry`.
|
|
|
|
`openai/_shims/auto/runtime` exports web runtime shims.
|
|
If the `node` export condition is set, the export map replaces it with `openai/_shims/auto/runtime-node`.
|
|
|
|
### How it works - Type time
|
|
|
|
All client code imports shim types from `openai/_shims/index`, which selects the manual types from `openai/_shims/manual-types` if they have been declared, otherwise it exports the auto types from `openai/_shims/auto/types`.
|
|
|
|
`openai/_shims/manual-types` exports an empty namespace.
|
|
Manually importing `openai/shims/node` or `openai/shims/web` merges declarations into this empty namespace, so they get picked up by `openai/_shims/index`.
|
|
|
|
`openai/_shims/auto/types` exports web type definitions.
|
|
If the `node` export condition is set, the export map replaces it with `openai/_shims/auto/types-node`, though TS only picks this up if `"moduleResolution": "nodenext"` or `"moduleResolution": "bundler"`.
