Methods

  • Convert a runnable to a tool. Return a new instance of RunnableToolLike which contains the runnable, name, description and schema.

    Type Parameters

    • T extends string | BaseMessage = string | BaseMessage

    Parameters

    • fields: {
          description?: string;
          name?: string;
          schema: ZodType<T, ZodTypeDef, T>;
      }
      • Optionaldescription?: string

        The description of the tool. Falls back to the description on the Zod schema if not provided, or undefined if neither are provided.

      • Optionalname?: string

        The name of the tool. If not provided, it will default to the name of the runnable.

      • schema: ZodType<T, ZodTypeDef, T>

        The Zod schema for the input of the tool. Infers the Zod type from the input type of the runnable.

    Returns RunnableToolLike<ZodType<ToolCall | T, ZodTypeDef, ToolCall | T>, Record<string, string>>

    An instance of RunnableToolLike which is a runnable that can be used as a tool.

  • Assigns new fields to the dict output of this runnable. Returns a new runnable.

    Parameters

    • mapping: RunnableMapLike<Record<string, unknown>, Record<string, unknown>>

    Returns Runnable<any, any, RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>

  • Default implementation of batch, which calls invoke N times. Subclasses should override this method if they can batch more efficiently.

    Parameters

    • inputs: (string | BaseMessage)[]

      Array of inputs to each batch call.

    • Optionaloptions: Partial<RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>> | Partial<RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>[]

      Either a single call options object to apply to each batch call or an array for each call.

    • OptionalbatchOptions: RunnableBatchOptions & {
          returnExceptions?: false;
      }

    Returns Promise<Record<string, string>[]>

    An array of RunOutputs, or mixed RunOutputs and errors if batchOptions.returnExceptions is set

  • Parameters

    • inputs: (string | BaseMessage)[]
    • Optionaloptions: Partial<RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>> | Partial<RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>[]
    • OptionalbatchOptions: RunnableBatchOptions & {
          returnExceptions: true;
      }

    Returns Promise<(Error | Record<string, string>)[]>

  • Parameters

    • inputs: (string | BaseMessage)[]
    • Optionaloptions: Partial<RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>> | Partial<RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>[]
    • OptionalbatchOptions: RunnableBatchOptions

    Returns Promise<(Error | Record<string, string>)[]>

  • Bind arguments to a Runnable, returning a new Runnable.

    Parameters

    • kwargs: Partial<RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>

    Returns Runnable<string | BaseMessage, Record<string, string>, RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>

    A new RunnableBinding that, when invoked, will apply the bound args.

  • Returns a string with instructions on how the LLM output should be formatted to match the regex pattern.

    Returns string

    A string with formatting instructions.

  • Parameters

    • Optional_: RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>

    Returns Graph

  • Parameters

    • Optionalsuffix: string

    Returns string

  • Calls the parser with a given input and optional configuration options. If the input is a string, it creates a generation with the input as text and calls parseResult. If the input is a BaseMessage, it creates a generation with the input as a message and the content of the input as text, and then calls parseResult.

    Parameters

    • input: string | BaseMessage

      The input to the parser, which can be a string or a BaseMessage.

    • Optionaloptions: RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>

      Optional configuration options.

    Returns Promise<Record<string, string>>

    A promise of the parsed output.

  • Return a new Runnable that maps a list of inputs to a list of outputs, by calling invoke() with each input.

    Returns Runnable<(string | BaseMessage)[], Record<string, string>[], RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>

  • Parses the given text using the regex pattern and returns a dictionary with the parsed output. If the regex pattern does not match the text and no defaultOutputKey is provided, throws an OutputParserException.

    Parameters

    • text: string

      The text to be parsed.

    Returns Promise<Record<string, string>>

    A dictionary with the parsed output.

  • Parses the result of an LLM call. This method is meant to be implemented by subclasses to define how the output from the LLM should be parsed.

    Parameters

      The generations from an LLM call.

    • Optionalcallbacks: Callbacks

      Optional callbacks.

    Returns Promise<Record<string, string>>

      The generations from an LLM call.

    • _prompt: BasePromptValueInterface

      The prompt used in the LLM call.

  • Pick keys from the dict output of this runnable. Returns a new runnable.

    Parameters

    Returns Runnable<string | BaseMessage, Exclude<NewRunOutput, Error>, RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>

    A new runnable sequence.

  • Stream output in chunks.

    Parameters

    • input: string | BaseMessage
    • Optionaloptions: Partial<RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>

    Returns Promise<IterableReadableStream<Record<string, string>>>

    A readable stream that is also an iterable.

  • Generate a stream of events emitted by the internal steps of the runnable.

    Use to create an iterator over StreamEvents that provide real-time information about the progress of the runnable, including StreamEvents from intermediate results.

    A StreamEvent is a dictionary with the following schema:

    • event: string - Event names are of the format: on_[runnable_type]_(start|stream|end).
    • name: string - The name of the runnable that generated the event.
    • run_id: string - Randomly generated ID associated with the given execution of the runnable that emitted the event. A child runnable that gets invoked as part of the execution of a parent runnable is assigned its own unique ID.
    • tags: string[] - The tags of the runnable that generated the event.
    • metadata: Record<string, any> - The metadata of the runnable that generated the event.
    • data: Record<string, any>

    Below is a table that illustrates some events that might be emitted by various chains. Metadata fields have been omitted from the table for brevity. Chain definitions have been included after the table.

    ATTENTION This reference table is for the V2 version of the schema.

    The "on_chain_*" events are the default for Runnables that don't fit one of the above categories.

    In addition to the standard events above, users can also dispatch custom events.

    Custom events will be only be surfaced with in the v2 version of the API!

    A custom event has following format:

    +-----------+------+------------------------------------------------------------+
    | Attribute | Type | Description                                                |
    +===========+======+============================================================+
    | name      | str  | A user defined name for the event.                         |
    +-----------+------+------------------------------------------------------------+
    | data      | Any  | The data associated with the event. This can be anything.  |
    +-----------+------+------------------------------------------------------------+
    

    Here's an example:

    import { RunnableLambda } from "@langchain/core/runnables";
    import { dispatchCustomEvent } from "@langchain/core/callbacks/dispatch";
    // Use this import for web environments that don't support "async_hooks"
    // and manually pass config to child runs.
    // import { dispatchCustomEvent } from "@langchain/core/callbacks/dispatch/web";

    const slowThing = RunnableLambda.from(async (someInput: string) => {
    // Placeholder for some slow operation
    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
    await dispatchCustomEvent("progress_event", {
    message: "Finished step 1 of 2",
    });
    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
    return "Done";
    });

    const eventStream = await slowThing.streamEvents("hello world", {
    version: "v2",
    });

    for await (const event of eventStream) {
    if (event.event === "on_custom_event") {
    console.log(event);
    }
    }
