+ # @learning-commons/evaluators
2
+
3
+ TypeScript SDK for Learning Commons educational text complexity evaluators.
4
+
5
+ ## Installation
6
+
7
+ ```bash
8
+ npm install @learning-commons/evaluators ai
9
+ ```
10
+
11
+ The SDK uses the [Vercel AI SDK](https://sdk.vercel.ai) (`ai`) as its LLM interface. You also need to install the provider adapter(s) for the LLM(s) you use:
12
+
13
+ ```bash
14
+ npm install @ai-sdk/openai # for OpenAI
15
+ npm install @ai-sdk/google # for Google Gemini
16
+ npm install @ai-sdk/anthropic # for Anthropic
17
+ ```
18
+
19
+ ## Quick Start
20
+
21
+ ```typescript
22
+ import { VocabularyEvaluator } from '@learning-commons/evaluators';
23
+
24
+ const evaluator = new VocabularyEvaluator({
25
+ googleApiKey: process.env.GOOGLE_API_KEY,
26
+ openaiApiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
27
+ });
28
+
29
+ const result = await evaluator.evaluate("Your text here", "5");
30
+ console.log(result.score); // "moderately complex"
31
+ ```

207
+
208
+ ## Error Handling
209
+
210
+ The SDK provides specific error types to help you handle different scenarios:
211
+
212
+ ```typescript
213
+ import {
214
+ ConfigurationError,
215
+ ValidationError,
216
+ APIError,
217
+ AuthenticationError,
218
+ RateLimitError,
219
+ NetworkError,
220
+ TimeoutError,
221
+ } from '@learning-commons/evaluators';
222
+
223
+ try {
224
+ const evaluator = new VocabularyEvaluator({ googleApiKey, openaiApiKey });
225
+ const result = await evaluator.evaluate(text, grade);
226
+ } catch (error) {
227
+ if (error instanceof ConfigurationError) {
228
+ // Missing or invalid API keys — fix your config
229
+ console.error('Configuration error:', error.message);
230
+ } else if (error instanceof ValidationError) {
231
+ // Invalid input (text too short, invalid grade, etc.)
232
+ console.error('Invalid input:', error.message);
233
+ } else if (error instanceof AuthenticationError) {
234
+ // Invalid API keys
235
+ console.error('Check your API keys:', error.message);
236
+ } else if (error instanceof RateLimitError) {
237
+ // Rate limit exceeded - wait and retry
238
+ console.error('Rate limited. Retry after:', error.retryAfter);
239
+ } else if (error instanceof NetworkError) {
240
+ // Network connectivity issues
241
+ console.error('Network error:', error.message);
242
+ } else if (error instanceof APIError) {
243
+ // Other API errors
244
+ console.error('API error:', error.message, 'Status:', error.statusCode);
245
+ }
246
+ }
247
+ ```
248
+
249
+ ---
250
+
251
+ ## Logging
252
+
253
+ Control logging verbosity with `logLevel`:
254
+
255
+ ```typescript
256
+ import { VocabularyEvaluator, LogLevel } from '@learning-commons/evaluators';
257
+
258
+ const evaluator = new VocabularyEvaluator({
259
+ googleApiKey: '...',
260
+ openaiApiKey: '...',
261
+ logLevel: LogLevel.INFO, // SILENT | ERROR | WARN | INFO | DEBUG
262
+ });
263
+ ```
264
+
265
+ Or provide a custom logger:
266
+
267
+ ```typescript
268
+ import type { Logger } from '@learning-commons/evaluators';
269
+
270
+ const customLogger: Logger = {
271
+ debug: (msg, ctx) => myLogger.debug(msg, ctx),
272
+ info: (msg, ctx) => myLogger.info(msg, ctx),
273
+ warn: (msg, ctx) => myLogger.warn(msg, ctx),
274
+ error: (msg, ctx) => myLogger.error(msg, ctx),
275
+ };
276
+
277
+ const evaluator = new VocabularyEvaluator({
278
+ googleApiKey: '...',
279
+ openaiApiKey: '...',
280
+ logger: customLogger,
281
+ });
282
+ ```
283
+
284
+ ---
285
+
286
+ ## Telemetry & Privacy
287
+
288
+ See [docs/telemetry.md](./docs/telemetry.md) for telemetry configuration and privacy information.
289
+
290
+ ---
291
+
292
+ ## Configuration Options
293
+
294
+ All evaluators use the same `BaseEvaluatorConfig` interface:
295
+
296
+ ```typescript
297
+ interface BaseEvaluatorConfig {
298
+ googleApiKey?: string; // Google API key (required by some evaluators)
299
+ openaiApiKey?: string; // OpenAI API key (required by some evaluators)
300
+ maxRetries?: number; // Max API retry attempts (default: 2)
301
+ telemetry?: boolean | TelemetryOptions; // Telemetry config (default: true)
302
+ logger?: Logger; // Custom logger (optional)
303
+ logLevel?: LogLevel; // Console log level (default: WARN)
304
+ partnerKey?: string; // Learning Commons partner key for authenticated telemetry (optional)
305
+ }
306
+ ```
307
+
308
+ **Note:** Which API keys are required depends on the evaluator. The SDK validates required keys at runtime based on the evaluator's metadata:
309
+ - **Vocabulary**: Requires both `googleApiKey` and `openaiApiKey`
310
+ - **Sentence Structure**: Requires `openaiApiKey` only
311
+ - **Text Complexity**: Requires both `googleApiKey` and `openaiApiKey`
312
+ - **Grade Level Appropriateness**: Requires `googleApiKey` only
