public DataSource ImportText(string data, string dataSourceIdentifier, string sectionIdentifier, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)

Parameters

data string

The text content to import.

dataSourceIdentifier string

The unique identifier for the target DataSource. If the identifier exists, the text is added as a new section; otherwise, a new data source is created.

sectionIdentifier string

The identifier for the new section.

OperationCanceledException

Thrown if the operation is canceled.

ImportText(string, IChunking, string, string, CancellationToken)

Imports a text string into a DataSource, creating a new section with a custom chunking strategy.

public DataSource ImportText(string data, IChunking chunker, string dataSourceIdentifier, string sectionIdentifier, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)

Parameters

data string

The text content to import.

chunker IChunking

The chunking strategy for splitting the text. If null, DefaultIChunking is used.

dataSourceIdentifier string

The unique identifier for the target DataSource. If the identifier exists, the text is added as a new section; otherwise, a new data source is created.

sectionIdentifier string

The identifier for the new section.

cancellationToken CancellationToken

A token to cancel the operation.

Returns

DataSource

The DataSource containing the imported text.

Examples

LM embeddingModel = LM.LoadFromModelID("embeddinggemma-300m");
RagEngine ragEngine = new RagEngine(embeddingModel);

string textData = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.";
DataSource dataSource = ragEngine.ImportText(
    data: textData,

Parameters

data IList<string>

A list of text strings to import, each representing a separate section.

dataSourceIdentifier string

The unique identifier for the target DataSource. If the data source exists, new sections are added; otherwise, a new data source is created.

sectionIdentifiers IList<string>

A list of unique identifiers for the new sections. The count must match the number of text strings in data.

metadataCollections IList<MetadataCollection>

An optional list of metadata collections to associate with each imported section. If provided, the count must match the number of text strings.

cancellationToken CancellationToken

A token to cancel the operation.

Returns

DataSource

The updated or newly created DataSource containing the imported text.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

Thrown if data or dataSourceIdentifier is null or empty.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Thrown if the count of sectionIdentifiers does not match the count of data.
