# Image Generation
|
|
|
|
The [Image Generation](https://ai.turbostarter.dev/image) demo application allows users to create unique visuals from textual descriptions using various AI models. It provides a simple interface to input prompts, select models, and view generated images.

|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
To implement image generation in your application, you'll need to configure the necessary backend services.
|
|
|
|
<Cards>
|
|
<Card href="/ai/docs/database" title="Database" description="Configure a PostgreSQL database to store generation history and image metadata." />
|
|
|
|
<Card href="/ai/docs/storage" title="Storage" description="Set up S3-compatible storage to securely manage generated image assets." />
|
|
</Cards>
|
|
|
|
You'll also need API keys for your preferred AI models. Follow the detailed setup instructions in the provider documentation linked below.
|
|
|
|
## AI models
|
|
|
|
The Image Generation app leverages the AI SDK to support various models capable of creating images from text. Configure the providers for the models you wish to use:
|
|
|
|
<Cards>
|
|
<Card href="/ai/docs/openai" title="OpenAI" description="Implement DALL·E models for exceptional image quality and creative fidelity." icon={<OpenAI />} />
|
|
|
|
<Card href="/ai/docs/replicate" title="Replicate" description="Access a diverse ecosystem of open-source models including Stable Diffusion variants." icon={<Replicate />} />
|
|
</Cards>
|
|
|
|
For detailed implementation guidance, refer to the [AI SDK documentation](https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/ai-sdk-core/image-generation) covering the `generateImage` function and supported providers.
|
|
|
|
## Data persistence
|
|
|
|
Details about image generation requests and the resulting images are stored to maintain user history.
|
|
|
|
<Card href="/ai/docs/database" title="Database" description="Learn more about database services in TurboStarter AI." />
|
|
|
|
Data is organized within a dedicated PostgreSQL schema named `image`:
|
|
|
|
* `generations`: captures detailed information about each generation request, including the `prompt`, selected `model`, `aspectRatio`, requested image `count`, `userId`, and precise timestamps.
|
|
* `images`: stores complete metadata for each generated image, linked to its parent `generation` record via `generationId` and maintaining the `url` reference to the stored image file.
|
|
|
|
<Card href="/ai/docs/storage" title="Storage" description="Learn more about cloud storage services in TurboStarter AI." />
|
|
|
|
The generated image files are securely stored in [cloud storage](/ai/docs/storage) (S3-compatible). Each image's location is tracked via the `url` field in the `images` table for reliable retrieval.
|
|
|
|
## Structure
|
|
|
|
The Image Generation feature is architected across the monorepo for optimal code organization and reusability.
|
|
|
|
### Core
|
|
|
|
The `@turbostarter/ai` package (`packages/ai`) contains the essential logic under `modules/image`:
|
|
|
|
* Comprehensive types, validation schemas (for prompts, aspect ratios, etc.), and constants
|
|
* Core API logic for processing image generation requests and interfacing with AI models
|
|
* Database operations for recording generation details and image metadata
|
|
* Utilities for uploading generated images to cloud storage
|
|
|
|
### API
|
|
|
|
The `packages/api` package defines the backend API endpoints using Hono:
|
|
|
|
* `src/modules/ai/image/image.router.ts`: implements Hono RPC routes for image generation, handles input validation, applies necessary middleware (authentication, credit management), and invokes the core logic from `@turbostarter/ai`.
|
|
|
|
### Web
|
|
|
|
The Next.js application (`apps/web`) delivers an intuitive user interface:
|
|
|
|
* `src/app/[locale]/(apps)/image/**`: contains the Next.js App Router pages and layouts for the image generation experience
|
|
* `src/components/image/**`: houses reusable React components tailored to the image generation UI (prompt input, model selector, image gallery, etc.)
|
|
|
|
### Mobile
|
|
|
|
The Expo/React Native application (`apps/mobile`) provides a native mobile experience:
|
|
|
|
* `src/app/image/**`: defines the screens for the mobile image generation interface
|
|
* `src/components/image/**`: contains React Native components optimized for mobile interaction
|
|
* **API integration**: utilizes the same Hono RPC client (`packages/api`) as the web app for consistent backend communication
|
|
|
|
This architecture ensures perfect consistency across platforms while enabling tailored UI implementations optimized for each environment.
