Usage
Facade:
use YasserElgammal\LaravelGemini\Facades\Gemini;
$response = Gemini::generate('Explain Laravel service providers');
Chat:
use YasserElgammal\LaravelGemini\Facades\Gemini;
$response = Gemini::chat([
['role' => 'user', 'content' => 'Hello Gemini'],
]);
Dependency injection:
use YasserElgammal\LaravelGemini\Contracts\GeminiClientInterface;
public function __construct(
private GeminiClientInterface $gemini
) {}
public function handle(): void
{
$response = $this->gemini->generate('Hello Gemini');
}
Raw payload:
$response = Gemini::raw([
'contents' => [
[
'role' => 'user',
'parts' => [
['text' => 'Hello'],
],
],
],
]);
Responses are normalized:
[
'text' => '...',
'raw' => [],
'model' => 'gemini-1.5-flash',
'usage' => [],
]
Request Options
Override the model or generation settings per request:
$response = Gemini::generate('Return JSON', [
'model' => 'gemini-1.5-flash',
'generation' => [
'temperature' => 0.2,
'max_output_tokens' => 1000,
'response_mime_type' => 'application/json',
],
]);
Generation options are converted to Gemini's camelCase payload keys.
Error Handling
try {
$response = Gemini::generate('Hello');
} catch (\YasserElgammal\LaravelGemini\Exceptions\GeminiException $exception) {
report($exception);
}
Available exceptions:
