using Azure;
using Azure.AI.OpenAI;
using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration.Extensions;

SetEnvironmentVariables();

// Register an Azure OpenAI client
AIExtensionsContainerDefault defaultAIExtensionsContainer = RegisterAzureOpenAIClient(
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"),
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_APIKEY")
);

string searchQuery = "furniture";
var response = await defaultAIExtensionsContainer.SmartSearchAsync(
    new SmartSearchRequest(searchQuery, new List<SmartSearchRequest.ItemInfo>() {
        new SmartSearchRequest.ItemInfo("item1", "chair"),
        new SmartSearchRequest.ItemInfo("item2", "sofa"),
        new SmartSearchRequest.ItemInfo("item3", "knife"),
        new SmartSearchRequest.ItemInfo("item4", "clock"),
        new SmartSearchRequest.ItemInfo("item5", "bed"),
    })
);

foreach (SmartSearchResponse.ItemInfo info in response.Values)
    Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}: {1}", info.Id, info.Value));

/* Output:
 * item1: chair
 * item2: sofa
 * item5: bed
 */

AIExtensionsContainerDefault RegisterAzureOpenAIClient(string azureOpenAIEndpoint, string azureOpenAIKey) {
    IChatClient client = new Azure.AI.OpenAI.AzureOpenAIClient(new Uri(azureOpenAIEndpoint),
        new System.ClientModel.ApiKeyCredential(azureOpenAIKey)).GetChatClient("gpt-4o-mini").AsIChatClient();

    return AIExtensionsContainerConsole.CreateDefaultAIExtensionContainer(client);
