Accessors

Methods

  • Stream all output from a runnable, as reported to the callback system. This includes all inner runs of LLMs, Retrievers, Tools, etc. Output is streamed as Log objects, which include a list of jsonpatch ops that describe how the state of the run has changed in each step, and the final state of the run. The jsonpatch ops can be applied in order to construct state.

    Parameters

    Returns AsyncGenerator<RunLogPatch, any, unknown>

  • Static method to convert the chat history input into a formatted string.

    Parameters

    • chatHistory: string | BaseMessage[] | string[][]

      Chat history input which can be a string, an array of BaseMessage instances, or an array of string arrays.

    Returns string

    A formatted string representing the chat history.

  • Helper method to transform an Iterator of Input values into an Iterator of Output values, with callbacks. Use this to implement stream() or transform() in Runnable subclasses.

    Type Parameters

    Parameters

    • inputGenerator: AsyncGenerator<I, any, unknown>
    • transformer: ((generator, runManager?, options?) => AsyncGenerator<O, any, unknown>)
        • (generator, runManager?, options?): AsyncGenerator<O, any, unknown>
        • Parameters

          Returns AsyncGenerator<O, any, unknown>

    • Optional options: BaseCallbackConfig & {
          runType?: string;
      }

    Returns AsyncGenerator<O, any, unknown>
