trigger/fal-ai-image-from-prompt-realtime.ts

    import * as fal from "@fal-ai/serverless-client";
    import { logger, schemaTask } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
    import { z } from "zod";
    
    export const FalResult = z.object({
      images: z.tuple([z.object({ url: z.string() })]),
    });
    
    export const payloadSchema = z.object({
      imageUrl: z.string().url(),
      prompt: z.string(),
    });
    
    export const realtimeImageGeneration = schemaTask({
      id: "realtime-image-generation",
      schema: payloadSchema,
      run: async (payload) => {
        const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/flux/dev/image-to-image", {
          input: {
            image_url: payload.imageUrl,
            prompt: payload.prompt,
          },
          onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
            logger.info("Fal.ai processing update", { update });
          },
        });
    
        const $result = FalResult.parse(result);
        const [{ url: cartoonUrl }] = $result.images;
    
        return {
          imageUrl: cartoonUrl,
        };
