Node Example

This is an example of how to use ChromaDB with Node.js.

Getting Started

1. Make sure you have Chroma running locally at http://localhost:8000
2. Run pnpm install to install dependencies
3. Run one of the following commands:

• pnpm dev - Run the example with the default bundled package
• pnpm dev:bundled - Run the example with the bundled chromadb package
• pnpm dev:client - Run the example with the chromadb-client package (peer dependencies)

Package Options

This example demonstrates both ChromaDB package options:

1. chromadb (Bundled Package): Includes all embedding libraries as dependencies.

   • Good for simple projects or when you want everything included.
   • Import with: const chroma = require("chromadb");

2. chromadb-client (Client Package): Uses peer dependencies.

   • Good for projects that already use specific versions of embedding libraries.
   • Keeps your dependency tree lean if you only need specific embedding libraries.
   • Import with: const chroma = require("chromadb-client");

Both packages provide identical functionality and API.
