Function calling support

[huytool157]

I don't see function calling support for the Node SDK. Is it coming soon? It's a bit inconvenient to maintain native SDK and raw fetch code at the same time!

Thank you for submitting this feature request! We're definitely interested in supporting Function Calling in the SDK. While we don't have a specific timeline yet, we'll keep you updated on our progress.

FYI, all that it takes to support Function Calling is to allow to specify the API VERSION. Can this be added as a customizable parameter instead of hardcoded in the package?

As a hack, you can currently open the node_modules/@google/generative-ai/dist/index.js file and change the API_VERSION constant on line 156 from "v1" to "v1beta", and Function Calling starts working.

We've just merged and released both of these things:
#56 - API version switching support
#32 - Basic function calling

Documentation:
See the new tools property that can be passed to getGenerativeModel through modelParams.
https://github.com/google/generative-ai-js/blob/main/docs/reference/generative-ai.modelparams.md

We also are working on automatic function calling in ChatSession and hope to have that out soon.
