    Class SequentialChain

    Chain where the outputs of one chain feed directly into next.

        Review from a New York Times play critic of the above play:`,

    chains: BaseChain<ChainValues, ChainValues>[]

    Array of chains to run as a sequence. The chains are run in order they appear in the array.

    inputVariables: string[]

    Defines which variables should be passed as initial input to the first chain.

    memory?: any
    outputVariables: string[]

    Which variables should be returned as a result of executing the chain. If not specified, output of the last of the chains is used.

    returnAll?: boolean

    Whether or not to return all intermediate outputs and variables (excluding initial input variables).

    Accessors

    • get inputKeys(): string[]

      Returns string[]

    • get lc_namespace(): string[]

      Returns string[]

    • get outputKeys(): string[]

      Returns string[]

    Methods

    _chainType

    • _chainType(): "sequential_chain"

      Return the string type key uniquely identifying this class of chain.

      Returns "sequential_chain"

    • _formatValues(values: any): Promise<any>

      Parameters

      • values: any

      Returns Promise<any>

    • Parameters

      • inputs: ChainValues[]
      • Optionalconfig: any[]

      Call the chain on all inputs in the list

    • Parameters

      • values: any
      • Optionalconfig: any
      • Optionaltags: string[]

      Returns Promise<ChainValues>

      Parameters

      • input: ChainValues

        Input values for the chain run.

      • Optionaloptions: any

      Returns Promise<ChainValues>

      Promise that resolves with the output of the chain run.

    • Parameters

      • inputs: Record<string, unknown>
      • outputs: Record<string, unknown>
      • returnOnlyOutputs: boolean = false

      Returns Promise<Record<string, unknown>>

    • Parameters
