## haystack_integrations.components.embedders.fastembed.fastembed_document_embedder
### FastembedDocumentEmbedder
FastembedDocumentEmbedder computes Document embeddings using Fastembed embedding models.
The embedding of each Document is stored in the `embedding` field of the Document.
Usage example:
```python
# To use this component, install the "fastembed-haystack" package.
# pip install fastembed-haystack
from haystack_integrations.components.embedders.fastembed import FastembedDocumentEmbedder
from haystack.dataclasses import Document
doc_embedder = FastembedDocumentEmbedder(
model="BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5",
batch_size=256,
)
# Text taken from PubMed QA Dataset (https://huggingface.co/datasets/pubmed_qa)
document_list = [
Document(
content=("Oxidative stress generated within inflammatory joints can produce autoimmune phenomena and joint "
"destruction. Radical species with oxidative activity, including reactive nitrogen species, "
"represent mediators of inflammation and cartilage damage."),
meta={
"pubid": "25,445,628",
"long_answer": "yes",
},
),
Document(
content=("Plasma levels of pancreatic polypeptide (PP) rise upon food intake. Although other pancreatic "
"islet hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, have been extensively investigated, PP secretion "
"and actions are still poorly understood."),
meta={
"pubid": "25,445,712",
"long_answer": "yes",
},
),
]
result = doc_embedder.run(document_list)
