### Overview
- Provide a chat interface to engage with and inquire your notes
- Simplify interacting with the beta `chat` and `summarize` APIs
### Use
- Open `<khoj-url>/chat`, by default at http://localhost:8000/chat?type=summarize
- Type your queries, see summarized response by Khoj from your notes
**Note**:
- **You will need to add an API key from OpenAI to your khoj.yml**
- **Your query and top note from search result will be sent to OpenAI for processing**

- d8ee0f0 Save chat history to disk for persistence, seeing chat logs
- 5294693 Style chat messages as speech bubbles
- d170747 Add khoj web interface and chat styling to new chat page on khoj web
- de6c146 Implement functional, unstyled chat page for khoj web interface
- Wrap messages into speech bubbles
- Color messages by khoj blue, sender grey
- Add those standard protrusions to the speech bubbles for fun
- Align bubbles left or right based on sender
- messages by khoj are left aligned, message by self are right aligned
- Put message metadata like sender and time under speech bubble
- use data-* attribute and ::after css pseudo-selector for this
- Update renderMessage func to accept time param, remove unused type_ param
- Changes
- Use blue color for khoj heading font
- This fixes the title color issue
- Update background to lighter shade
- This fixes the body text color issue
- Update colors for todo, done, miscellaneous todo state, tag color
- This does not fix the color contrast issue but seems like an acceptable solution
- Using white text rather than black text on blue background
better even though the black text on blue background passes the
WCAG acceptable contrast score
- For details see blog post:
https://uxmovement.com/buttons/the-myths-of-color-contrast-accessibility/
- Add border to tags to give them tag pills look and differntiate
from todo states
- Buttons and inputs
- Change background color of input fields like type dropdown,
update button and results count counter, to match background
color of page
- Add shadow on hover over button, dropdowns
Resolves#111
- Ensure message input box sticks to bottom of screen
- Ensure chat logs div is scrollable when logs become longer than screen
Do not make the whole page scroll, just the chat logs body div
Uses longest file path match to find markdown file in vault
corresponding to file of search result returned by Khoj
Allow jumping to search result from khoj plugin modal on Android too
Previous mechanism of manually triggering getSuggestions,
renderSuggestions flow was corrupting traversing and opening
reranked search results in KhojModal
Emulate event that would anyway trigger the get & render of results in
modal. This lets obsidian core handle the flow without digging too
deep into obsidian cores handling of the flow. Lowers the chance of
breakage
We need the index file paths to make sense on the khoj backend server
Having path of index on backend relative to current vault directory
on frontend ignores the fact that the frontend maybe on a different
machine than the khoj backend server
Using unique index name per vault allows switching vaults without
overwriting indices of other vaults created on khoj backend when khoj
obsidian plugin is loaded on opening a different vault
- Overview
Limits using Khoj with a single vault at a time. This is
automatically configured to the most recently opened vault.
Once directory filters are supported on backend, the plugin will be
updated to index multiple vault but search only current vault from
current vaults khoj obsidian plugin
- Code Details
- Remove setting to configure Vault directory from Khoj Obsidian plugin
- Automatically configure Khoj to index only current Vault.
- Overwrites any previous vaults that were intended to be indexed by
Khoj backend
- Force update of index after configuring vault
- Why
It's not helpful for now and can lead to more problems, confusion.
Once directory filters
- Only show notification on plugin load and failure.
- In settings page, set current backend status at top of pane instead
of showing notification
Notices bubbles cluttered the UI while typing updates to settings
- Show notification once index updated via settings pane button click
There was no notification on index updated, which usually takes time
on the backend
- Display warning at top of khoj obsidian plugin settings
- Make search command available only if connected to backend
- Show warning notice on clicking khoj search ribbon button
- Call saveData after configureKhojBackend to ensure
connnectedToBackend setting saved after being (potentially) updated
in configureKhojBackend function
- Previously the plugin would not load if cannot connect to Khoj backend
- Silently failing to load with no reason provided is not helpful
- Load plugin to allow user to fix the Khoj URL in their plugin setting
- Show reason for khoj plugin not working. More helpful than failing silently
Fix usage warning for unescaped single quote in `khoj.el' docstring.
Converts usage of '<text>' into `<text>' to use the correct quote forms in generated docs
⛔ Warning (comp): khoj.el:119:2: Warning: docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting)
⛔ Warning (comp): khoj.el:120:2: Warning: docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting)
⛔ Warning (comp): khoj.el:121:2: Warning: docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting)
⛔ Warning (comp): khoj.el:168:2: Warning: docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting)
- Features
- Search using Khoj from within the Obsidian app
Allow Natural language search on your (markdown) notes in Obsidian Vault
- Show search results as rendered (instead of raw) Markdown
Improve legibility of the results
- Jump to selected note from search result in Khoj search modal
Simplify seeing result within its original note context
- Automatically configure khoj to index markdown files in current vault
Reduce khoj setup steps for plugin users by using reasonable defaults
- Code updates the markdown config in khoj.yml and triggers index update
- It can be configured by user in khoj plugin settings, if required
- Add Demo and detailed Readme for the Obsidian plugin
Ease setup and usage. Give context about capabilities
- Miscellaneous
- Trying keep a mono repo until the Khoj project is mature enough
to reduce maintainance burden
- The instructions suggest installing khoj-assistant via pip install.
This installs the latest tagged/release version of khoj
- To match that version user should install khoj.el from MELPA stable
instead of MELPA
Update readme to ask user to install khoj.el from MELPA when a
pre-release version of the main khoj app is installed. Else install
khoj.el from MELPA Stable
- Reason
- All clients that currently consume the API are part of Khoj
- Any breaking API changes will be fixed in clients immediately
- So decoupling client from API is not required
- This removes the burden of maintaining muliple versions of the API
- Split router.py into v1.0, beta and frontend (no-prefix) api modules
under new router package. Version tag in main.py via prefix
- Update frontends to use the versioned api endpoints
- Update tests to work with versioned api endpoints
- Update docs to mentioned, reference only versioned api endpoints
In my installation, it appears that `url-request-method` is sometimes set
globally to POST. Need to explicitly set it to ensure that GET is always
used as intended.
- Simplify tracking khoj query history, saving/sharing links
- Do not execute search, when query only contains whitespaces
- Prevents error when try process results of empty query
- As `/reload` updates index incrementally, it's relatively quick
- This makes exposing `/reload` endpoint a better default to expose
via the web interface than `the /regenerate' endpoint
- Default config has `input_files' set to None
- This was being passed to `FileBrowser' on Initialization
- But `FileBrowser' expects `content_files' of list type, not None
- This resulted in an unexpected NoneType failure
- This also pushes the updated URL state to history
- Allows jumping back to the web interface after clicking on an image
and having the type set to image search
- Previously type would get reset to the default search type on
jumping back
- When no file selected in file browser an empty line/entry gets added
to input entries list
- Bug got introduced due to insufficient update on change to add
instead of insert
- Update is_none_or_empty helper method to also check for empty string
- Allows adding multiple image directories via GUI
- Allow adding multiple files in different directories via GUI
- Previously users couldn't add multiple directories via GUI
They'd have to manually append to input field if multiple files, directories
- To clear/overwrite is much easier.
The user can just select text to delete in input area
- Issue
Fix configuring image search from Desktop GUI. It was broken before.
The Desktop GUI was updating input-files field under content-type > image.
This field is not used for image search. So image search couldn't be
configured from the Desktop GUI
- Fix
- Set input-directories when field of search type image is set from GUI
- Otherwise set input-files field in config
- Show a helpful error message in the GUI to the user, instead of the
crashing if loading config fails, for e.g if file wasn't found
- Collate GUI errors into an ErrorType enum class
- Remove previous error messages before showing the new one
Previously if the embeddings were already there only the khoj.yml
config file would get updated. The embeddings would remain old.
1. This results in a stale app state where the config doesn't
match the embeddings
2. Currently the user cannot update their config from the config
screen. They'd have to use a combination of config screen and web
interface>regenerate button to trigger it or delete their ~/.khoj dir
This commit should resolve the above issues
- Prevent immediate overwrite of re-ranked results by
incremental-search without rerank triggered via post-command-hook.
- This triggers right after the reranking results are rendered, so
user never ends up seeing them
- Add docstrings, mention args in them. Make docstring crisper
- prefix funcs, variables with khoj--
- Require emacs >27.1 for json-parse-buffer
- Use lexical binding
- Add quickstart docs to elisp file itself
- Bump version of khoj.el
- What
- Convert the config screen into the main application window
with configuration as just one of the functionality it provides
- Rename config screen to main window to match new designation
- Why
- System Tray isn't available everywhere (e.g Linux)
- This requires moving functionality into a normal window for cross-compat
- Start evolving configure screen away from just being a configure screen
- Update Window Title to just say Khoj
- Allow Opening Web Interface to Search from Khoj configure screen
- Rename "Start" Button to more accurate "Configure"
- Disable Search button on first run and while configuring app
- Issue
- In the previous form, updates to self.current_config would update
default_config as python does a shallow copy
- So self.current_config is just referencing the values of default_config
- Hence updates to current_config updates the default_config values too
- This is not what we want
- Fix
- Deep copy the default_config values. Now updates to
self.current_config wouldn't affect the default_config
- Generating embeddings takes time
- If user enables a content type and clicks start.
The app starts to generate embeddings when loading the new settings
- Run this function in a separate thread to keep config screen responsive
- But disable start button to prevent re-entrant threads
- Also show a minimal visual indication that the app is saving state
- Convert Input Fields into PlainTextEdit
- Display Each Selected File on a Separate Line in Field
- Set Height of FileBrowser Input Field based on Number of Lines/Files
- This fixes the field expanding when configure screen is expanded
- Allows for reusability of the labelled text field
- Simplifies the logic to save settings for conversation processor
- Avoid having to pass the khoj_sample.yml data file into pip, native apps
- Packaging data files into python packages is annoying.
- There's `MANIFEST.in`, `data_files` and `package_data` in setup.py
- Bdist, wheel, generated source tarball use different set of these fields
and put the data files in different locations
- Rather just code the default config into a constant. Avoid
pointless file reads as well this way
- Include khoj_sample.yml in pip package to load default config from
- Create khoj config directory if it doesn't exist
- Load config from khoj_sample.yml if khoj.yml config doesn't exist
Conflicts:
- src/main.py
- router functions have moved to router
- move logic to handle null query perf timer variables into
router.py
- set main.py to current branch, not master
- If a user manually edits the input file lines, clicking start should
use that. Currently it just looks at the files selected last via file
browser
- We want to allow users to manually enter file paths in field. Which
is why the field hasn't been set to read-only
- Track current (saved/loaded) config separate from the new config (to
be written) when user clicks Start
- Fallback to using default config when no config for the specific
content type or processor is specified in khoj.yml
- Earlier were only loading default config on first run, not after
- Create Child CheckBox, LineEdit classes for Processor Widgets
- Create ProcessorType, similar to SearchType
- Track ProcessorType the widgets are associated with
- Simplify update, save, load of config based on type
- Update configuration to use by the backend, while app is running
- Trigger after user hits start button with their config.
The config gets written to khoj.yml file first, then the updated
config is loaded onto memory
- Results get priority screen real estate
- Allows quick speed key based traversal of results as cursor
on switching to buffer is at top level heading
- E.g C-x o n n o 2 jumps to entry in actual file of second result
- Unlike before when it is at the #+STARTUP org buffer customization
settings
- Only allow adding files with appropriate file extension for each search type
- e.g .org for org-mode search, directory for image search
- Extract file paths added to config and enablement state of each search type
- This extracted state will be used to populate the khoj.yml config file
- Simplifies the configure screen layout and allows it to be of constant width
- It was buggy, the configure screen would dynamically expand but not
restore back to original size on disabling search type after enable
- Follow convention, two hyphens indicate variable private to library
- Defcustom are user configurable variables. So they should have single -
- Use khoj-results-count variable directly in code
- Fix regression since moving to use `which-key-show-full-keymap~
- The above function reads user keypress, so eats up 1 keypress
before starting to enter query
- No way to pass no-paging config via the external function to the
internally used which-key--show-keymap function that does allow
setting no-paging to not read user keypress
- So use the internal function instead and set no-paging arg to t
- The keybindings to select search types was previously confusing as
it only highlighted the final symbol to press (the C-x was shown but
it wasn't made apparent that it had to be pressed before)
- Previously some keybindings unrelated to khoj were also being shown
in the which-key popup. Now only the khoj keybindings are visible
- More generally, this allows configuring the khoj search anytime
while in khoj minibuffer window
- Earlier could only configure search type at the start of the search
- What
- Default to last used search type, when no search type specified
- Allow user to change search type before they enter query (and
after they've called khoj), if they want
- Why
- Reduce time from intent to results by using reasonable defaults
- Make interactions smoother, more intuitive
