async abatch(inputs: List[Input], config: Optional[Union[RunnableConfig, List[RunnableConfig]]] = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → List[Output]¶

Default implementation runs ainvoke in parallel using asyncio.gather.

The default implementation of batch works well for IO bound runnables.

Subclasses should override this method if they can batch more efficiently; e.g., if the underlying Runnable uses an API which supports a batch mode.

Parameters

inputs (List[Input]) – A list of inputs to the Runnable.
config (Optional[Union[RunnableConfig, List[RunnableConfig]]]) – A config to use when invoking the Runnable. The config supports standard keys like ‘tags’, ‘metadata’ for tracing purposes, ‘max_concurrency’ for controlling how much work to do in parallel, and other keys. Please refer to the RunnableConfig for more details. Defaults to None.
return_exceptions (bool) – Whether to return exceptions instead of raising them. Defaults to False.
kwargs (Optional[Any]) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable.

Returns

A list of outputs from the Runnable.

Return type

List[Output]

async abatch_as_completed(inputs: Sequence[Input], config: Optional[Union[RunnableConfig, Sequence[RunnableConfig]]] = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → AsyncIterator[Tuple[int, Union[Output, Exception]]]¶

Run ainvoke in parallel on a list of inputs, yielding results as they complete.

Parameters

inputs (Sequence[Input]) – A list of inputs to the Runnable.
config (Optional[Union[RunnableConfig, Sequence[RunnableConfig]]]) – A config to use when invoking the Runnable. The config supports standard keys like ‘tags’, ‘metadata’ for tracing purposes, ‘max_concurrency’ for controlling how much work to do in parallel, and other keys. Please refer to the RunnableConfig for more details. Defaults to None. Defaults to None.
return_exceptions (bool) – Whether to return exceptions instead of raising them. Defaults to False.
kwargs (Optional[Any]) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable.

Yields

A tuple of the index of the input and the output from the Runnable.

Return type

AsyncIterator[Tuple[int, Union[Output, Exception]]]

async ainvoke(input: Input, config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Output¶

Default implementation of ainvoke, calls invoke from a thread.

The default implementation allows usage of async code even if the Runnable did not implement a native async version of invoke.

Subclasses should override this method if they can run asynchronously.

Parameters

input (Input) –
config (Optional[RunnableConfig]) –
kwargs (Any) –

Return type

Output

as_tool(args_schema: Optional[Type[BaseModel]] = None, *, name: Optional[str] = None, description: Optional[str] = None, arg_types: Optional[Dict[str, Type]] = None) → BaseTool¶

Beta

This API is in beta and may change in the future.

Create a BaseTool from a Runnable.

as_tool will instantiate a BaseTool with a name, description, and args_schema from a Runnable. Where possible, schemas are inferred from runnable.get_input_schema. Alternatively (e.g., if the Runnable takes a dict as input and the specific dict keys are not typed), the schema can be specified directly with args_schema. You can also pass arg_types to just specify the required arguments and their types.

Parameters

args_schema (Optional[Type[BaseModel]]) – The schema for the tool. Defaults to None.
name (Optional[str]) – The name of the tool. Defaults to None.
description (Optional[str]) – The description of the tool. Defaults to None.
arg_types (Optional[Dict[str, Type]]) – A dictionary of argument names to types. Defaults to None.

Returns

A BaseTool instance.

astream_events(input: Any, config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, *, version: Literal['v1', 'v2'], include_names: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, include_types: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, include_tags: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, exclude_names: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, exclude_types: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, exclude_tags: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → AsyncIterator[Union[StandardStreamEvent, CustomStreamEvent]]¶

Beta

This API is in beta and may change in the future.

Generate a stream of events.

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: str - Event names are of the
format: on_[runnable_type]_(start|stream|end).
name: str - The name of the Runnable that generated the event.
run_id: str - 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.
parent_ids: List[str] - The IDs of the parent runnables that
generated the event. The root Runnable will have an empty list. The order of the parent IDs is from the root to the immediate parent. Only available for v2 version of the API. The v1 version of the API will return an empty list.
tags: Optional[List[str]] - The tags of the Runnable that generated
the event.
metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] - The metadata of the Runnable
that generated the event.
data: Dict[str, Any]

Below is a table that illustrates some evens 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.

event	name	chunk	input	output
on_chat_model_start	[model name]		{“messages”: [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}
on_chat_model_stream	[model name]	AIMessageChunk(content=”hello”)
on_chat_model_end	[model name]		{“messages”: [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}	AIMessageChunk(content=”hello world”)
on_llm_start	[model name]		{‘input’: ‘hello’}
on_llm_stream	[model name]	‘Hello’
on_llm_end	[model name]		‘Hello human!’
on_chain_start	format_docs
on_chain_stream	format_docs	“hello world!, goodbye world!”
on_chain_end	format_docs		[Document(…)]	“hello world!, goodbye world!”
on_tool_start	some_tool		{“x”: 1, “y”: “2”}
on_tool_end	some_tool			{“x”: 1, “y”: “2”}
on_retriever_start	[retriever name]		{“query”: “hello”}
on_retriever_end	[retriever name]		{“query”: “hello”}	[Document(…), ..]
on_prompt_start	[template_name]		{“question”: “hello”}
on_prompt_end	[template_name]		{“question”: “hello”}	ChatPromptValue(messages: [SystemMessage, …])

In addition to the standard events, users can also dispatch custom events (see example below).

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, though we suggest making it JSON serializable.

Here are declarations associated with the standard events shown above:

format_docs:

def format_docs(docs: List[Document]) -> str:
    '''Format the docs.'''
    return ", ".join([doc.page_content for doc in docs])

format_docs = RunnableLambda(format_docs)

some_tool:

@tool
def some_tool(x: int, y: str) -> dict:
    '''Some_tool.'''
    return {"x": x, "y": y}

prompt:

template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
    [("system", "You are Cat Agent 007"), ("human", "{question}")]
).with_config({"run_name": "my_template", "tags": ["my_template"]})

Example:

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda

async def reverse(s: str) -> str:
    return s[::-1]

chain = RunnableLambda(func=reverse)

events = [
    event async for event in chain.astream_events("hello", version="v2")
]

# will produce the following events (run_id, and parent_ids
# has been omitted for brevity):
[
    {
        "data": {"input": "hello"},
        "event": "on_chain_start",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
    {
        "data": {"chunk": "olleh"},
        "event": "on_chain_stream",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
    {
        "data": {"output": "olleh"},
        "event": "on_chain_end",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
]

    """Do something that takes a long time."""
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation
    await adispatch_custom_event(
        "progress_event",
        {"message": "Finished step 1 of 3"},
        config=config # Must be included for python < 3.10
    )
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation
    await adispatch_custom_event(
        "progress_event",
        {"message": "Finished step 2 of 3"},
        config=config # Must be included for python < 3.10
    )
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation

with_alisteners(*, on_start: Optional[AsyncListener] = None, on_end: Optional[AsyncListener] = None, on_error: Optional[AsyncListener] = None) → Runnable[Input, Output]¶

Bind asynchronous lifecycle listeners to a Runnable, returning a new Runnable.

on_start: Asynchronously called before the Runnable starts running. on_end: Asynchronously called after the Runnable finishes running. on_error: Asynchronously called if the Runnable throws an error.

The Run object contains information about the run, including its id, type, input, output, error, start_time, end_time, and any tags or metadata added to the run.

Parameters

on_start (Optional[AsyncListener]) – Asynchronously called before the Runnable starts running. Defaults to None.
on_end (Optional[AsyncListener]) – Asynchronously called after the Runnable finishes running. Defaults to None.
on_error (Optional[AsyncListener]) – Asynchronously called if the Runnable throws an error. Defaults to None.

Returns

A new Runnable with the listeners bound.

Return type
