OutputParser that parses LLMResult into the top likely string.

const promptTemplate = PromptTemplate.fromTemplate(
"Tell me a joke about {topic}",
);

const chain = RunnableSequence.from([
promptTemplate,
new ChatOpenAI({}),
new StringOutputParser(),
]);

const result = await chain.invoke({ topic: "bears" });
console.log("What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummy bear!");

Methods

  • 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

      Optional configuration options.

    Returns Promise<string>

    A promise of the parsed output.

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

    Parameters

    • text: string

      The string output from an LLM call.

    Returns Promise<string>

    A promise of the parsed output.

  • 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.

    Parameters

    • input: string | BaseMessage
    • options: Partial<RunnableConfig> & {
          version: "v1" | "v2";
      }
    • OptionalstreamOptions: Omit<EventStreamCallbackHandlerInput, "autoClose">

    Returns IterableReadableStream<StreamEvent>

  • Parameters

    • input: string | BaseMessage
    • options: Partial<RunnableConfig> & {
          encoding: "text/event-stream";
          version: "v1" | "v2";
      }
    • OptionalstreamOptions: Omit<EventStreamCallbackHandlerInput, "autoClose">

    Returns IterableReadableStream<Uint8Array>

  • Bind lifecycle listeners to a Runnable, returning a new Runnable. The Run object contains information about the run, including its id, type, input, output, error, startTime, endTime, and any tags or metadata added to the run.

    Parameters

    • params: {
          onEnd?: ((run: Run, config?: RunnableConfig) => void | Promise<void>);
          onError?: ((run: Run, config?: RunnableConfig) => void | Promise<void>);
          onStart?: ((run: Run, config?: RunnableConfig) => void | Promise<void>);
      }

      The object containing the callback functions.

      • OptionalonEnd?: ((run: Run, config?: RunnableConfig) => void | Promise<void>)

        Called after the runnable finishes running, with the Run object.

          • (run, config?): void | Promise<void>
          • Parameters

            Returns void | Promise<void>

      • OptionalonError?: ((run: Run, config?: RunnableConfig) => void | Promise<void>)

        Called if the runnable throws an error, with the Run object.

          • (run, config?): void | Promise<void>
          • Parameters

            Returns void | Promise<void>

      • OptionalonStart?: ((run: Run, config?: RunnableConfig) => void | Promise<void>)

        Called before the runnable starts running, with the Run object.

          • (run, config?): void | Promise<void>
          • Parameters

            Returns void | Promise<void>

    Returns Runnable<string | BaseMessage, string, RunnableConfig>
