Aspire Sample Application

Welcome to the Aspire Sample Application. This project is a comprehensive example of a chat application built with .NET Aspire, Semantic Kernel, and the @microsoft/ai-chat-protocol package. The frontend of the application is developed using React and Vite.

Overview

The application consists of 2 main Projects:

ChatApp.WebApi: This is a .NET Web API that handles chat interactions, powered by .NET Aspire and Semantic Kernel. It provides endpoints for the chat frontend to communicate with the chat backend. The @microsoft/ai-chat-protocol package is used to handle chat interactions, including streaming and non-streaming requests.
ChatApp.React: This is a React app that provides the user interface for the chat application. It is built using Vite, a modern and efficient build tool. It uses the @microsoft/ai-chat-protocol package to handle chat interactions, allowing for flexible communication with the chat backend.

The app also includes a class library project, ChatApp.ServiceDefaults, that contains the service defaults used by the service projects.
