## Installation

```bash
npm install @claude-flow/providers
```

## Quick Start

```typescript
import { createProviderManager } from '@claude-flow/providers';

// Create provider manager with multiple providers
const manager = await createProviderManager({
  providers: [
    {
      provider: 'anthropic',
      apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
      model: 'claude-3-5-sonnet-latest',
    },
    {
      provider: 'openai',
      apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY!,
      model: 'gpt-4o',
    },
  ],
  loadBalancing: {
    enabled: true,
    strategy: 'cost-based',
  },
  fallback: {
    enabled: true,
    maxAttempts: 2,
  },
  cache: {
    enabled: true,
    ttl: 300000,
    maxSize: 1000,
  },
});

// Make a completion request
const response = await manager.complete({
  messages: [
    { role: 'user', content: 'Hello, how are you?' }
  ],
  maxTokens: 100,
});

console.log('Response:', response.content);
console.log('Provider:', response.provider);
console.log('Cost:', response.cost?.totalCost);
```

## API Reference

### ProviderManager

```typescript
import { ProviderManager, createProviderManager } from '@claude-flow/providers';

// Create and initialize
const manager = await createProviderManager(config);

// Or manually initialize
const manager = new ProviderManager(config);
await manager.initialize();
```

#### Methods

```typescript
// Complete a request
const response = await manager.complete(request, preferredProvider?);

// Stream completion
for await (const event of manager.streamComplete(request, preferredProvider?)) {
  if (event.type === 'content') {
    process.stdout.write(event.delta?.content || '');
  }
}

// Health check all providers
const health = await manager.healthCheck();
health.forEach((result, provider) => {
  console.log(`${provider}: ${result.healthy ? 'OK' : 'FAIL'}`);
});

// Estimate costs across providers
const estimates = await manager.estimateCost(request);
estimates.forEach((estimate, provider) => {
  console.log(`${provider}: $${estimate.estimatedCost.total.toFixed(4)}`);
});

// Get aggregated usage
const usage = await manager.getUsage('day');
console.log(`Total cost: $${usage.cost.total}`);

// Get provider metrics
const metrics = manager.getMetrics();
metrics.forEach((m, provider) => {
  console.log(`${provider}: ${m.latency}ms avg, ${m.errorRate * 100}% errors`);
});

// List available providers
const providers = manager.listProviders();

// Get specific provider
const anthropic = manager.getProvider('anthropic');

// Clear cache
manager.clearCache();

// Shutdown
manager.destroy();
```

### Individual Providers

```typescript
import {
  AnthropicProvider,
  OpenAIProvider,
  GoogleProvider,
  CohereProvider,
  OllamaProvider,
  RuVectorProvider,
} from '@claude-flow/providers';

// Create provider directly
const anthropic = new AnthropicProvider({
  config: {
    provider: 'anthropic',
    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
    model: 'claude-3-5-sonnet-latest',
    temperature: 0.7,
    maxTokens: 1000,
  },
});

await anthropic.initialize();

const response = await anthropic.complete({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }],
});

// Stream response
for await (const event of anthropic.streamComplete({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Tell me a story' }],
})) {
  if (event.type === 'content') {
    process.stdout.write(event.delta?.content || '');
  }
}
```

### Load Balancing Strategies

```typescript
const manager = await createProviderManager({
  providers: [...],
  loadBalancing: {
    enabled: true,
    strategy: 'round-robin', // or 'least-loaded', 'latency-based', 'cost-based'
  },
});
```

| Strategy | Description | Best For |
|----------|-------------|----------|
| `round-robin` | Rotate through providers | Even distribution |
| `least-loaded` | Use provider with lowest load | High throughput |
| `latency-based` | Use fastest provider | Low latency |
| `cost-based` | Use cheapest provider | Cost optimization |

### Automatic Failover

```typescript
const manager = await createProviderManager({
  providers: [...],
  fallback: {
    enabled: true,
    maxAttempts: 3,  // Try up to 3 providers
  },
});

// Events for monitoring
manager.on('fallback_success', ({ originalProvider, fallbackProvider, attempts }) => {
  console.log(`Fallback from ${originalProvider} to ${fallbackProvider}`);
});

manager.on('fallback_exhausted', ({ originalProvider, attempts }) => {
  console.error(`All ${attempts} fallback attempts failed`);
});
```

### Request Caching

```typescript
const manager = await createProviderManager({
  providers: [...],
  cache: {
    enabled: true,
    ttl: 300000,     // 5 minutes
    maxSize: 1000,   // Max cached responses
  },
});

// Cache is keyed by: messages + model + temperature + maxTokens
// Identical requests return cached responses

// Clear cache when needed
manager.clearCache();
```

### Cost Optimization

```typescript
const manager = await createProviderManager({
  providers: [...],
  costOptimization: {
    enabled: true,
    maxCostPerRequest: 0.10,  // Max $0.10 per request
  },
});

// Request with cost constraints
const response = await manager.complete({
  messages: [...],
  costConstraints: {
    maxCost: 0.05,
    preferredModels: ['gpt-4o-mini', 'claude-3-haiku-20240307'],
  },
});

// Get cost breakdown
console.log('Cost:', {
  prompt: response.cost?.promptCost,
  completion: response.cost?.completionCost,
  total: response.cost?.totalCost,
  currency: response.cost?.currency,
});
```

### Tool Calling

```typescript
const response = await manager.complete({
  messages: [
    { role: 'user', content: 'What is the weather in San Francisco?' }
  ],
  tools: [
    {
      type: 'function',
      function: {
        name: 'get_weather',
        description: 'Get weather for a location',
        parameters: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {
            location: { type: 'string', description: 'City name' },
            unit: { type: 'string', enum: ['celsius', 'fahrenheit'] },
          },
          required: ['location'],
        },
      },
    },
  ],
  toolChoice: 'auto',
});

// Check for tool calls
if (response.toolCalls) {
  for (const call of response.toolCalls) {
    console.log('Tool:', call.function.name);
    console.log('Args:', JSON.parse(call.function.arguments));
  }
}
```

### Streaming

```typescript
// Async iterator streaming
for await (const event of manager.streamComplete(request)) {
  switch (event.type) {
    case 'content':
      process.stdout.write(event.delta?.content || '');
      break;
    case 'tool_call':
      console.log('Tool call:', event.delta?.toolCall);
      break;
    case 'error':
      console.error('Error:', event.error);
      break;
    case 'done':
      console.log('\nUsage:', event.usage);
      console.log('Cost:', event.cost);
      break;
  }
}
```

### Multimodal (Vision/Audio)

```typescript
// Image input (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google)
const response = await manager.complete({
  messages: [
    {
      role: 'user',
      content: [
        { type: 'text', text: 'What is in this image?' },
        { type: 'image', imageUrl: 'https://example.com/image.jpg' },
        // or imageBase64: 'base64-encoded-image'
      ],
    },
  ],
