# Semantic Kernel concepts by feature

Down below you can find the code snippets that demonstrate the usage of many Semantic Kernel features.

## Running the Tests

You can run those tests using the IDE or the command line. To run the tests using the command line run the following command from the root of Concepts project:

```text
dotnet test -l "console;verbosity=detailed" --filter "FullyQualifiedName=NameSpace.TestClass.TestMethod"
```

Example for `ChatCompletion/OpenAI_ChatCompletion.cs` file, targeting the `ChatPromptSync` test:

```powershell
dotnet test -l "console;verbosity=detailed" --filter "FullyQualifiedName=ChatCompletion.OpenAI_ChatCompletion.ChatPromptAsync"
```

### TextToImage - Using [`TextToImage`](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/dotnet/src/SemanticKernel.Abstractions/AI/TextToImage/ITextToImageService.cs) services to generate images

- [OpenAI_TextToImage](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/dotnet/samples/Concepts/TextToImage/OpenAI_TextToImage.cs)
- [OpenAI_TextToImageLegacy](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/dotnet/samples/Concepts/TextToImage/OpenAI_TextToImageLegacy.cs)
- [AzureOpenAI_TextToImage](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/dotnet/samples/Concepts/TextToImage/AzureOpenAI_TextToImage.cs)

## Configuration

### Option 1: Use Secret Manager

Concept samples will require secrets and credentials, to access OpenAI, Azure OpenAI,
Bing and other resources.

We suggest using .NET [Secret Manager](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/app-secrets)
to avoid the risk of leaking secrets into the repository, branches and pull requests.
You can also use environment variables if you prefer.

To set your secrets with Secret Manager:

```
cd dotnet/src/samples/Concepts
dotnet user-secrets init
dotnet user-secrets set "OpenAI:ServiceId" "gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct"
dotnet user-secrets set "OpenAI:ModelId" "gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct"
dotnet user-secrets set "OpenAI:ChatModelId" "gpt-4"
dotnet user-secrets set "OpenAI:ApiKey" "..."
...
```

### Option 2: Use Configuration File

1. Create a `appsettings.Development.json` file next to the `Concepts.csproj` file. This file will be ignored by git,
   the content will not end up in pull requests, so it's safe for personal settings. Keep the file safe.
2. Edit `appsettings.Development.json` and set the appropriate configuration for the samples you are running.

For example:

```json
{
  "OpenAI": {
    "ServiceId": "gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct",
    "ModelId": "gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct",
    "ChatModelId": "gpt-4",
    "ApiKey": "sk-...."
  },
  "AzureOpenAI": {
    "ServiceId": "azure-gpt-35-turbo-instruct",
    "DeploymentName": "gpt-35-turbo-instruct",
    "ChatDeploymentName": "gpt-4",
    "Endpoint": "https://contoso.openai.azure.com/",
    "ApiKey": "...."
  }
  // etc.
}
```

### Option 3: Use Environment Variables

You may also set the settings in your environment variables. The environment variables will override the settings in the `appsettings.Development.json` file.

When setting environment variables, use a double underscore (i.e. "\_\_") to delineate between parent and child properties. For example:

- bash:

  ```bash
  export OpenAI__ApiKey="sk-...."
  export AzureOpenAI__ApiKey="...."
  export AzureOpenAI__DeploymentName="gpt-35-turbo-instruct"
  export AzureOpenAI__ChatDeploymentName="gpt-4"
  export AzureOpenAIEmbeddings__DeploymentName="azure-text-embedding-ada-002"
  export AzureOpenAI__Endpoint="https://contoso.openai.azure.com/"
  export HuggingFace__ApiKey="...."
  export Bing__ApiKey="...."
  export Postgres__ConnectionString="...."
  ```

- PowerShell:

  ```ps
  $env:OpenAI__ApiKey = "sk-...."
  $env:AzureOpenAI__ApiKey = "...."
  $env:AzureOpenAI__DeploymentName = "gpt-35-turbo-instruct"
  $env:AzureOpenAI__ChatDeploymentName = "gpt-4"
  $env:AzureOpenAIEmbeddings__DeploymentName = "azure-text-embedding-ada-002"
  $env:AzureOpenAI__Endpoint = "https://contoso.openai.azure.com/"
  $env:HuggingFace__ApiKey = "...."
  $env:Bing__ApiKey = "...."
  $env:Postgres__ConnectionString = "...."
  ```
