Setting Up Your Wix Website
- Log into your Wix account and navigate to the dashboard of the website you wish to integrate with Amazon AI.
- Ensure your website has Wix Corvid enabled to allow for full coding and integration capabilities.
- Familiarize yourself with the Wix developer tools, which include options for adding custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Understanding Amazon AI Services
- Amazon AI offers several services such as Amazon Polly for text-to-speech, Amazon Recognition for image analysis, and Amazon Lex for conversational interfaces. Determine which service best fits your needs.
- Set up an AWS account if you don't already have one, as this is required to use Amazon AI services.
Configuring AWS Credentials
- Navigate to the AWS Management Console and create a new IAM user with programmatic access if you don't have existing credentials.
- Attach the necessary permissions to your IAM user. For this example, if you are using Amazon Polly, attach the `AmazonPollyFullAccess` policy.
- Take note of your AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key, as these will be required for API calls.
Connecting Wix to Amazon AI via API
- Utilize the Wix HTTP functions to enable backend calls to Amazon AI. In your Wix website editor, navigate to the Code Files section and add `http-functions.js` in the Backend folder.
- Implement the API call to Amazon AI. Here's an example of how you might set this up for Amazon Polly:
// http-functions.js
import {fetch} from 'wix-fetch';
// Replace 'RegionInfo' with actual AWS region and 'ApiEndpoint' with correct endpoint
const apiRegion = 'RegionInfo';
const apiEndpoint = 'ApiEndpoint';
const accessKey = 'YourAWSAccessKeyID';
const secretKey = 'YourAWSSecretAccessKey';
export async function post_getPollyVoice(request) {
const body = await request.body.json();
const textToSynthesize = body.text;
const url = `https://${apiEndpoint}.amazonaws.com/`;
const params = {
OutputFormat: 'mp3',
Text: textToSynthesize,
VoiceId: 'Joanna'
};
// Using fetch to call Amazon Polly API
const response = await fetch(url, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"X-Amz-Content-Sha256": /* your method to hash the payload here */,
"X-Amz-Date": /* the current date in the required format */,
"Authorization": /* AWS Signature Version 4 format authorization header */
},
body: JSON.stringify(params)
});
if (response.ok) {
const responseBody = await response.json();
return responseBody;
} else {
return {error: 'Failed to communicate with Amazon API'};
}
}
- Ensure the security and authentication protocols are correctly handled, such as signing AWS requests. The actual signing will require Node.js AWS SDK or manual header crafting adhering to AWS Signature Version 4.
Integrating the Frontend Elements
- Add elements to your Wix site such as buttons or text inputs that will trigger the backend functionality. You can add these using the Wix Editor.
- Implement event listeners in your site's front-end code to capture user interactions and make HTTP requests to your backend functions:
// On your site's front-end code
$w.onReady(function () {
$w("#yourButton").onClick(async () => {
const textInput = $w("#yourTextInput").value;
const response = await fetch('/_functions/getPollyVoice', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ text: textInput })
});
const result = await response.json();
if (result.error) {
console.error(result.error);
} else {
console.log('Success:', result);
$w("#audioPlayer").src = result.AudioStream;
}
});
});
- Test the complete workflow ranging from input capture to API response handling to ensure seamless integration.
- Iterate on interface design and user experience to best incorporate the capabilities of Amazon AI on your site.
