- **Parameters**:
- `index (str)`: The index of the message to update.
- `role (_type_)`: The new role of the speaker.
- `content (_type_)`: The new content of the message.
#### `query(self, index: str)`
- **Description**: Retrieves a message from the conversation history.
- **Parameters**:
- `index (str)`: The index of the message to query.
- **Returns**: The message as a string.
#### `search(self, keyword: str)`
- **Description**: Searches for messages containing a specific keyword in the conversation history.
- **Parameters**:
- `keyword (str)`: The keyword to search for.
- **Returns**: A list of messages that contain the keyword.
#### `display_conversation(self, detailed: bool = False)`
- **Description**: Displays the conversation history.
- **Parameters**:
- `detailed (bool, optional)`: If `True`, provides detailed information about each message. Default is `False`.
#### `export_conversation(self, filename: str)`
- **Description**: Exports the conversation history to a text file.
- **Parameters**:
- `filename (str)`: The name of the file to export to.
#### `import_conversation(self, filename: str)`
- **Description**: Imports a conversation history from a text file.
- **Parameters**:
- `filename (str)`: The name of the file to import from.
#### `count_messages_by_role(self)`
- **Description**: Counts the number of messages by role in the conversation.
- **Returns**: A dictionary containing the count of messages for each role.
#### `return_history_as_string(self)`
- **Description**: Returns the entire conversation history as a single string.
- **Returns**: The conversation history as a string.
#### `save_as_json(self, filename: str)`
- **Description**: Saves the conversation history as a JSON file.
- **Parameters**:
- `filename (str)`: The name of the JSON file to save.
#### `load_from_json(self, filename: str)`
- **Description**: Loads a conversation history from a JSON file.
- **Parameters**:
- `filename (str)`: The name of the JSON file to load.
#### `search_keyword_in_conversation(self, keyword: str)`
- **Description**: Searches for a keyword in the conversation history and returns matching messages.
- **Parameters**:

- **Returns**: A list of messages containing the keyword.
#### `pretty_print_conversation(self, messages)`
- **Description**: Pretty prints a list of messages with colored role indicators.
- **Parameters**:
- `messages (list)`: A list of messages to print.
## Examples
Here are some usage examples of the `Conversation` class:
### Creating a Conversation
```python
from swarms.structs import Conversation
conv = Conversation()
```
### Adding Messages
```python
conv.add("user", "Hello, world!")
conv.add("assistant", "Hello, user!")
```
### Displaying the Conversation
```python
conv.display_conversation()
```
### Searching for Messages
```python
result = conv.search("Hello")
```
### Exporting and Importing Conversations
```python
conv.export_conversation("conversation.txt")
conv.import_conversation("conversation.txt")
```
### Counting Messages by Role
```python
counts = conv.count_messages_by_role()
```
### Loading and Saving as JSON
```python
conv.save_as_json("conversation.json")
conv.load_from_json("conversation.json")
```
Certainly! Let's continue with more examples and additional information about the `Conversation` class.
### Querying a Specific Message
You can retrieve a specific message from the conversation by its index:
```python
message = conv.query(0) # Retrieves the first message
```
### Updating a Message
You can update a message's content or role within the conversation:
```python
conv.update(0, "user", "Hi there!") # Updates the first message
```
### Deleting a Message
If you want to remove a message from the conversation, you can use the `delete` method:
```python
conv.delete(0) # Deletes the first message
```
### Counting Messages by Role
You can count the number of messages by role in the conversation:
```python
counts = conv.count_messages_by_role()
# Example result: {'user': 2, 'assistant': 2}
```
### Exporting and Importing as Text
You can export the conversation to a text file and later import it:
```python
conv.export_conversation("conversation.txt") # Export
conv.import_conversation("conversation.txt") # Import
```
### Exporting and Importing as JSON
Conversations can also be saved and loaded as JSON files:
```python
conv.save_as_json("conversation.json") # Save as JSON
conv.load_from_json("conversation.json") # Load from JSON
```
### Searching for a Keyword
You can search for messages containing a specific keyword within the conversation:
```python
results = conv.search_keyword_in_conversation("Hello")
```
### Pretty Printing
The `pretty_print_conversation` method provides a visually appealing way to display messages with colored role indicators:
```python
conv.pretty_print_conversation(conv.conversation_history)
```
These examples demonstrate the versatility of the `Conversation` class in managing and interacting with conversation data. Whether you're building a chatbot, conducting analysis, or simply organizing dialogues, this class offers a robust set of tools to help you accomplish your goals.
## Conclusion
The `Conversation` class is a valuable utility for handling conversation data in Python. With its ability to add, update, delete, search, export, and import messages, you have the flexibility to work with conversations in various ways. Feel free to explore its features and adapt them to your specific projects and applications.
