marona 0.2.9

Official Dart client SDK for Marona-compatible AI runtimes and Hub integrations.

marona

Official Dart client for Marona-compatible AI runtimes and Hub integrations.

Use it from Flutter apps, Dart backends, desktop apps, wearable interfaces, or any client that needs one API for online, offline, and hybrid AI execution.

Install

dependencies:
  marona: ^0.2.9

Then run:

dart pub get

Complete Example

This example shows the normal Flutter/Dart flow:

1. Create a Marona client.
2. Sync Hub metadata into local storage.
3. Connect approved Hub apps by app ID.
4. Send a user message through the runtime.
5. Close the client.

import 'dart:io';

import 'package:marona/marona.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final marona = Marona(
    apiKey: Platform.environment['MARONA_API_KEY'],
    mode: 'online',
  );

  try {
    final identityToken = Platform.environment['MARONA_IDENTITY_TOKEN']; // Optional

    await marona.sync(
      interfaceName: 'mobile_app',
      identityToken: identityToken,
    );

    final tools = await marona.hub.connect(
      ['sda-books', 'zimsec'],
      adapter: 'tools',
    );

    final response = await marona.client(
      input: [
        {
          'role': 'user',
          'content': [
            {
              'type': 'input_text',
              'text': 'What teams are playing in this image?',
            },
            {
              'type': 'input_image',
              'image_url':
                  'https://api.nga.gov/iiif/a2e6da57-3cd1-4235-b20e-95dcaefed6c8/full/!800,800/0/default.jpg',
            },
            {
              'type': 'input_file',
              'filename': 'document.pdf',
              'file_data': 'data:application/pdf;base64,...',
              'detail': 'high',
            },
          ],
        },
      ],
      interfaceName: 'mobile_app',
      identityToken: identityToken,
      tools: tools,
    );

    print(response.text);
  } finally {
    marona.close();
  }
}

Run it:

export MARONA_API_KEY="mrn_live_..."
dart run bin/app.dart

Pair A User

Use pairing when an interface needs to become the same user across web, mobile, WhatsApp, wearables, or another client surface.

final pairing = await marona.startPairing(
  interfaceName: 'mobile_app',
  deviceName: 'Customer phone',
);

print(pairing.displayCode);
print(pairing.whatsappUrl);

final status = await marona.pairingStatus(pairing.pairingId);
print(status.status);

After the user confirms pairing, store the returned identity token and pass it to marona.client(...).

Online, Offline, And Hybrid Modes

Choose one runtime mode for the client:

• online: use online runtime and online app routes.
• offline: use only local cache, local/private models, and installed offline-capable app targets.
• hybrid: try local/private execution first, then use online runtime when allowed.

Apps also declare one availability mode:

• online: online only.
• offline: offline only.
• hybrid: online and offline capable.

Hybrid is a single mode. Do not declare online + offline + hybrid; declare hybrid.

Hybrid Or Offline With A Local/Private Model

final marona = Marona(
  apiKey: Platform.environment['MARONA_API_KEY'],
  mode: 'hybrid',
);

await marona.sync(interfaceName: 'desktop');

await marona.models.register(
  name: 'office-model',
  endpoint: 'http://localhost:9379',
);
marona.models.use('office-model');

final tools = await marona.hub.connect(['sda-books', 'zimsec'], adapter: 'tools');

final response = await marona.client(
  input: [
    {
      'role': 'user',
      'content': [
        {
          'type': 'input_text',
          'text': 'Summarize the chapter about faith.',
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
  interfaceName: 'desktop',
  tools: tools,
);

print(response.text);

In offline mode, Marona never calls public cloud runtime. If a model or an offline-capable app target is missing, the client returns a clear offline error.

Interface Names

interfaceName identifies the client surface making the request. Standard values:

• api
• web
• mobile_app
• desktop
• whatsapp

Future devices can use custom lowercase slugs such as smart_glasses, vehicle_console, or kiosk.
