Methods

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

    Returns IterableReadableStream<StreamEvent>

  • Parameters

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

    Returns IterableReadableStream<Uint8Array>

  • 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>

  • Default implementation of transform, which buffers input and then calls stream. Subclasses should override this method if they can start producing output while input is still being generated.

    Parameters

    • generator: AsyncGenerator<string, any, unknown>
    • options: Partial<RunnableConfig>

    Returns AsyncGenerator<Record<string, any>, any, unknown>

  • 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, Record<string, any>, RunnableConfig>
