You should probably not use this in production > The original package created by [Beyond Code](https://github.com/beyondcode/laravel-ask-database) has been archived, also, it uses hardcoded text-davinci-003 model, and has been deprecated. However, this version supports custom specific models. You can change it into `config/ask-database.php` file, or into your `.env` Ask DB allows you to use OpenAI's GPT to build natural language database queries. ``` DB::ask('How many users do we have on the "pro" plan?'); // We have 23 users with "pro" plan. ``` Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install the package via composer: ``` composer require sebacarrasco93/laravel-ask-database ``` Publish the config files with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="ask-database-config" php artisan vendor:publish --provider="OpenAI\Laravel\ServiceProvider" ``` What about accidental deletions, updates or inserts? By default it's protecting by enabling strict mode. You can disable it. Do this at your own risk ``` // config/ask-database.php 'strict_mode' => env('ASK_DATABASE_STRICT_MODE', true), ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) First, you to configure your OpenAI API key in your `.env` file: ``` OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... ``` By default it's using `gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct`. Optionally you can customize it ``` ASK_DATABASE_MODEL=gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct ``` Then, you can use the `DB::ask()` method to ask the database: ``` $response = DB::ask('How many users are there?'); // We have 100 users ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
