# Extensions

Extensions are defined by files named `script.py` inside subfolders of `text-generation-webui/extensions`. They are loaded at startup if the folder name is specified after the `--extensions` flag.

For instance, `extensions/silero_tts/script.py` gets loaded with `python server.py --extensions silero_tts`.

## [text-generation-webui-extensions](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui-extensions)

The repository above contains a directory of user extensions.

If you create an extension, you are welcome to host it in a GitHub repository and submit a PR adding it to the list.

## Built-in extensions

|Extension|Description|
|---------|-----------|
|[api](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/api)| Creates an API with two endpoints, one for streaming at `/api/v1/stream` port 5005 and another for blocking at `/api/v1/generate` port 5000. This is the main API for the webui. |
|[openai](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/openai)| Creates an API that mimics the OpenAI API and can be used as a drop-in replacement. |
|[multimodal](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/multimodal) | Adds multimodality support (text+images). For a detailed description see [README.md](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/multimodal/README.md) in the extension directory. |
|[google_translate](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/google_translate)| Automatically translates inputs and outputs using Google Translate.|
|[silero_tts](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/silero_tts)| Text-to-speech extension using [Silero](https://github.com/snakers4/silero-models). When used in chat mode, responses are replaced with an audio widget. |
|[elevenlabs_tts](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/elevenlabs_tts)| Text-to-speech extension using the [ElevenLabs](https://beta.elevenlabs.io/) API. You need an API key to use it. |
|[whisper_stt](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/whisper_stt)| Allows you to enter your inputs in chat mode using your microphone. |
|[sd_api_pictures](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/sd_api_pictures)| Allows you to request pictures from the bot in chat mode, which will be generated using the AUTOMATIC1111 Stable Diffusion API. See examples [here](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/pull/309). |
|[character_bias](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/character_bias)| Just a very simple example that adds a hidden string at the beginning of the bot's reply in chat mode. |
|[send_pictures](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/extensions/send_pictures/)| Creates an image upload field that can be used to send images to the bot in chat mode. Captions are automatically generated using BLIP. |
|[gallery](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/extensions/gallery/)| Creates a gallery with the chat characters and their pictures. |
|[superbooga](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/superbooga)| An extension that uses ChromaDB to create an arbitrarily large pseudocontext, taking as input text files, URLs, or pasted text. Based on https://github.com/kaiokendev/superbig. |
|[ngrok](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/ngrok)| Allows you to access the web UI remotely using the ngrok reverse tunnel service (free). It's an alternative to the built-in Gradio `--share` feature. |
|[perplexity_colors](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/perplexity_colors)| Colors each token in the output text by its associated probability, as derived from the model logits. |

## How to write an extension

The extensions framework is based on special functions and variables that you can define in `script.py`. The functions are the following:

| Function        | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| `def setup()` | Is executed when the extension gets imported. |
| `def ui()` | Creates custom gradio elements when the UI is launched. | 
| `def custom_css()` | Returns custom CSS as a string. It is applied whenever the web UI is loaded. |
| `def custom_js()` | Same as above but for javascript. |
| `def input_modifier(string, state, is_chat=False)`  | Modifies the input string before it enters the model. In chat mode, it is applied to the user message. Otherwise, it is applied to the entire prompt. |
| `def output_modifier(string, state, is_chat=False)`  | Modifies the output string before it is presented in the UI. In chat mode, it is applied to the bot's reply. Otherwise, it is applied to the entire output. |
| `def chat_input_modifier(text, visible_text, state)` | Modifies both the visible and internal inputs in chat mode. Can be used to hijack the chat input with custom content. |
| `def bot_prefix_modifier(string, state)`  | Applied in chat mode to the prefix for the bot's reply. |
| `def state_modifier(state)`  | Modifies the dictionary containing the UI input parameters before it is used by the text generation functions. |
| `def history_modifier(history)`  | Modifies the chat history before the text generation in chat mode begins. |
| `def custom_generate_reply(...)` | Overrides the main text generation function. |
| `def custom_generate_chat_prompt(...)` | Overrides the prompt generator in chat mode. |
| `def tokenizer_modifier(state, prompt, input_ids, input_embeds)` | Modifies the `input_ids`/`input_embeds` fed to the model. Should return `prompt`, `input_ids`, `input_embeds`. See the `multimodal` extension for an example. |
| `def custom_tokenized_length(prompt)` | Used in conjunction with `tokenizer_modifier`, returns the length in tokens of `prompt`. See the `multimodal` extension for an example. |

Additionally, you can define a special `params` dictionary. In it, the `display_name` key is used to define the displayed name of the extension in the UI, and the `is_tab` key is used to define whether the extension should appear in a new tab. By default, extensions appear at the bottom of the "Text generation" tab.

Example:

```python
params = {
    "display_name": "Google Translate",
    "is_tab": True,
}
```

The `params` dict may also contain variables that you want to be customizable through a `settings.yaml` file. For instance, assuming the extension is in `extensions/google_translate`, the variable `language string` in

```python
params = {
    "display_name": "Google Translate",
    "is_tab": True,
    "language string": "jp"
}
```

can be customized by adding a key called `google_translate-language string` to `settings.yaml`:

```python
google_translate-language string: 'fr'
``` 

That is, the syntax for the key is `extension_name-variable_name`.

## Using multiple extensions at the same time

You can activate more than one extension at a time by providing their names separated by spaces after `--extensions`. The input, output, and bot prefix modifiers will be applied in the specified order. 

Example:

```
python server.py --extensions enthusiasm translate # First apply enthusiasm, then translate
python server.py --extensions translate enthusiasm # First apply translate, then enthusiasm
```

Do note, that for:
- `custom_generate_chat_prompt`
- `custom_generate_reply`
- `custom_tokenized_length`

only the first declaration encountered will be used and the rest will be ignored.
