# REST API Pattern Variables Example
This example demonstrates how to use pattern variables in REST API calls to the `/chat` endpoint.
## Example: Using the `translate` pattern with variables
### Request
```json
{
"prompts": [
{
"userInput": "Hello my name is Kayvan",
"patternName": "translate",
"model": "gpt-4o",
"vendor": "openai",
"contextName": "",
"strategyName": "",
"variables": {
"lang_code": "fr"
}
}
],
"language": "en",
"temperature": 0.7,
"topP": 0.9,
"frequencyPenalty": 0.0,
"presencePenalty": 0.0
}
```
### Pattern Content
The `translate` pattern contains:
```markdown
You are an expert translator... translate them as accurately and perfectly as possible into the language specified by its language code {{lang_code}}...
...
- Translate the document as accurately as possible keeping a 1:1 copy of the original text translated to {{lang_code}}.
{{input}}
```
### How it works
1. The pattern is loaded from `patterns/translate/system.md`
2. The `{{lang_code}}` variable is replaced with `"fr"` from the variables map
3. The `{{input}}` placeholder is replaced with `"Hello my name is Kayvan"`
4. The resulting processed pattern is sent to the AI model
### Expected Result
The AI would receive a prompt asking it to translate "Hello my name is Kayvan" to French (fr), and would respond with something like "Bonjour, je m'appelle Kayvan".
## Testing with curl
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/chat \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"prompts": [
{
"userInput": "Hello my name is Kayvan",
"patternName": "translate",
"model": "gpt-4o",
"vendor": "openai",
"variables": {
"lang_code": "fr"
}
}
],
"temperature": 0.7
}'
```
## Multiple Variables Example
For patterns that use multiple variables:
```json
{
"prompts": [
{
"userInput": "Analyze this business model",
"patternName": "custom_analysis",
"model": "gpt-4o",
"variables": {
"role": "expert consultant",
"experience": "15",
"focus_areas": "revenue, scalability, market fit",
"output_format": "bullet points"
}
}
]
}
```
## Implementation Details
- Variables are passed in the `variables` field as a key-value map
- Variables are processed using Go's template system
- The `{{input}}` variable is automatically handled and should not be included in the variables map
- Variables support the same features as CLI variables (plugins, extensions, etc.)
