Dependency Injection​

As a prerequisite, ensure that AngularFire has been added to your project via

ng add @angular/fire

Provide a Vertex AI instance in the application's app.config.ts:

import { provideFirebaseApp, initializeApp } from '@angular/fire/app';
import { provideVertexAI, getVertexAI } from '@angular/fire/vertexai-preview';

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideFirebaseApp(() => initializeApp({ ... })),
    provideVertexAI(() => getVertexAI()),
    ...
  ],
  ...,
}

Next inject VertexAI into your component:

import { Component, inject } from '@angular/core';
import { VertexAI } from '@angular/fire/vertexai-preview';

@Component({ ... })
export class MyComponent {
    private vertexAI = inject(VertexAI);
    ...
}

Firebase API​

AngularFire wraps the Firebase JS SDK to ensure proper functionality in Angular, while providing the same API.

Update the imports from import { ... } from 'firebase/vertexai-preview' to import { ... } from '@angular/fire/vertexai-preview' and follow the official documentation.
