Struct ChatClient 

pub struct ChatClient { /* private fields */ }

Thin facade that pairs per-call default request values with a shared backend.

Constructed via ChatClient::new, typically with a backend produced by a BackendFactory or by LlmBackend::new directly. Implements Deref to dyn LlmBackend so the direct and prepared chat execution paths, plus capability negotiation methods, are accessible directly.

Implementations

impl ChatClient

pub fn new(backend: Arc<dyn LlmBackend>, options: ChatClientOptions) -> Self

Create a client pairing per-call defaults with a shared backend.

The backend identity (family) is available via family through the Deref to LlmBackend.

pub fn model(&self) -> &str

Returns the resolved model string (explicit or provider default).

pub fn system_prompt(&self) -> Option<&str>

Returns the configured default system prompt, if any.

pub fn with_model(self, model: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Returns the client with a new default model.

pub fn with_system_prompt(self, system_prompt: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Returns the client with a new default system prompt.

pub fn clear_system_prompt(self) -> Self

Returns the client without a default system prompt.

pub fn create_request( &self, messages: Vec<ChatMessage>, ) -> ChatCompletionRequest

Create a request pre-filled with this client’s default model and system prompt.
