Because

  • The Gemini component only supported text and image inputs, limiting its capabilities for audio, video, and document processing
  • Format validation logic was scattered and repetitive across different media types
  • Error messages for unsupported formats were not helpful in guiding users toward conversion solutions
  • The component didn't leverage Gemini API's native support for remote file URIs, causing unnecessary data transfer
  • Test coverage was incomplete for multimedia processing functions

This commit

  • Adds comprehensive audio and video support to the Gemini chat component, enabling multimedia understanding capabilities
  • Implements unified format validation system using formatSupport struct to centralize Gemini API and Instill Core format definitions
  • Enhances error messages to provide specific conversion guidance (e.g., :png, :wav, :mp4 syntax) for unsupported formats
  • Refactors buildReqParts function into focused helper functions (processImageParts, processAudioParts, processVideoParts, processDocumentParts) for better maintainability
  • Optimizes remote file handling by using genai.NewPartFromURI for HTTP/HTTPS URLs and external.BinaryFetcher for data URIs
  • Adds comprehensive unit tests for all processing functions, including streaming/non-streaming logic and edge cases
  • Aligns format support lists with actual constants defined in pkg/data packages while maintaining complete Gemini API format coverage
  • Implements document processing modes (visual for PDF, text for plain text formats, conversion guidance for office documents)
