Summary of Changes

Hello @ifielker, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces support for an upcoming unified Genkit plugin, primarily focusing on how Genkit projects are initialized and configured. It updates versioning logic to recognize and utilize the new plugin, refactors internal data structures for handling models and plugins, and introduces a new Firebase template that aligns with the unified plugin's capabilities and modern Firebase Functions practices. The changes ensure that new Genkit projects can seamlessly integrate with the unified Google AI and Vertex AI plugin, simplifying setup and improving consistency.

Highlights

  • Genkit Versioning Updates: The GenkitInfo interface now includes a genaiVersion field, and the getGenkitInfo function has been updated to fetch and populate this version, indicating support for the new unified plugin.
  • Template Versioning and Unified Plugin Activation: The minimum supported Genkit version (MIN_VERSION) has been updated to "1.0.0-rc.1". Crucially, new logic has been added to detect Genkit versions 1.17.0 and above, along with genaiVersion 0.0.2-rc.1, to activate the new "1.17.0" template for unified plugin support.
  • Refactored Plugin and Model Configuration: The internal structures for handling plugins and models (PluginInfo, ModelOption) have been refactored. A new getPluginInfo helper function simplifies retrieving plugin details. The pluginToInfo constant now includes specific configurations for the unified @genkit-ai/google-genai plugin, differentiating between Vertex AI and Google AI providers.
  • Improved Sample File Generation: The generateSampleFile function, responsible for creating the initial index.ts file, has been updated to use the new ModelOption and PluginInfo structures. This streamlines the generation of model imports, comments, and plugin configurations in the sample code.
  • Updated Firebase Template: The old firebase.0.9.0.template has been removed and replaced with firebase.1.17.0.template. The new template reflects modern Firebase Functions practices, including onCallGenkit for callable functions, defineSecret for API key management, and a refactored flow definition using ai.defineFlow and ai.generateStream for streaming responses.

Code Review

This pull request adds support for the new unified Genkit plugin (@genkit-ai/google-genai). The changes correctly detect the new plugin and select the appropriate template version. The logic for handling plugin information has been refactored to be more centralized, which improves code clarity. I've found one critical issue that could lead to a crash during initialization when no model provider is selected. Please see my detailed comment.
