<ai-taxonomist>

A WebComponent within AI-Taxonomist project to identify plants|frog|anything in any web pages.

This WebComponent follows the open-wc recommendation.

Demo

DEMO: plantnet.org/ai-taxonomist-demo/

Recommended usage

1. Get an API Key for Pl@ntNet here.
2. Allow the domains on your Pl@ntNet account, for http://localhost:8000 for local development or https://example.com for production website here.
3. There are several ways to use the web components:
   1. Within a web page in HTML (example: a WordPress or a static website)

   <script src="https://unpkg.com/ai-taxonomist/dist/src/index.js?module" type="module"></script>
   <ai-taxonomist apiKey="YOUR_API_KEY"></ai-taxonomist>

   2. Within a JavaScript project (React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, etc):
      • a. Install the package: npm i ai-taxonomist
      • b. Import the package: import 'ai-taxonomist';
      • c. Add the component: <ai-taxonomist apiKey="YOUR_API_KEY"></ai-taxonomist>

Advanced usage

You can also use your own server, for this you can specify the server endpoint like so:

    <ai-taxonomist apiUrl="https://api.example.com/v2/identify" apiKey="XXXXXXXXX"></ai-taxonomist>    

Options

• apiUrl: (default: https://my-api.plantnet.org/v2/identify/all) the server url to call, either local or remote
  Example with a Local url (the server will need to add the API key):

  <ai-taxonomist apiUrl="http://localhost:3000"></ai-taxonomist>
  

• apiKey: the API key to use, if not added by the server. On Pl@ntNet API you currently cannot use the apiKey directly due to CORS being checked (so you need to add a proxy at least, cf server nginx config).
  Example for Pl@ntNet:

  <ai-taxonomist apiUrl="https://my-api.plantnet.org/v2/identify/all" apiKey="XXXXXXXXX"></ai-taxonomist>
  

• backendFormat: (default: pn) backend format of the API: pn (PlantNet), c4c (Cos4Cloud) or carp (CARPESO)
• maxImages: The number of images the user can upload for a single identification, default to 5.
• removePlantNetBranding: (default: false) if true, the component will not display the PlantNet logo and the link to the PlantNet website.
• Attachments: You can attach HTML elements to each result, for example if you want to let the user select the correct taxon. This can be achieve using an HTML <template> as follows:

   <template id="aitaxonomist-attachments-template">
       <style>
           button {
              border: 1px solid #8888FF;
              background: transparent;
           }
           button:hover {
              filter: brightness(1.2);
           }
       </style>
       <button>SELECT SPECIES</button>
   </template>
  <ai-taxonomist> </ai-taxonomist>

  You should NOT attach a click listener on your side. The AiTaxonomist component will listen for the click and fire a new event named aiTaxonomistAttachmentsClick which contain the selected taxon details in event.detail:

  document.addEventListener('aiTaxonomistAttachmentsClick', (e) => {
      alert('Attachments clicked: ' + e.detail.taxonName)
  })

  The detail will contain the properties listed on ResultType.

Styling

• Dark Mode: you can override dark mode by specifying either prefer-dark or prefer-light in the <ai-taxonomist> class element. Doing so will either force the dark/light mode to stay in dark/light mode no matter what the user preference is.
