# ImageAdapter

# Interface: ImageAdapter\<TModel, TProviderOptions, TModelProviderOptionsByName, TModelSizeByName\>

Defined in: [packages/typescript/ai/src/activities/generateImage/adapter.ts:33](https://github.com/TanStack/ai/blob/main/packages/typescript/ai/src/activities/generateImage/adapter.ts#L33)

Image adapter interface with pre-resolved generics.

An adapter is created by a provider function: `provider('model')` → `adapter`
All type resolution happens at the provider call site, not in this interface.

Generic parameters:
- TModel: The specific model name (e.g., 'dall-e-3')
- TProviderOptions: Base provider-specific options (already resolved)
- TModelProviderOptionsByName: Map from model name to its specific provider options
- TModelSizeByName: Map from model name to its supported sizes

## Type Parameters

### TModel

`TModel` *extends* `string` = `string`

### TProviderOptions

`TProviderOptions` *extends* `object` = `Record`\<`string`, `unknown`\>

### TModelProviderOptionsByName

`TModelProviderOptionsByName` *extends* `Record`\<`string`, `any`\> = `Record`\<`string`, `any`\>

### TModelSizeByName

`TModelSizeByName` *extends* `Record`\<`string`, `string`\> = `Record`\<`string`, `string`\>
