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.

The "on_chain_*" events are the default for Runnables that don't fit one of the above categories.

In addition to the standard events above, users can also dispatch custom events.

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.  |
+-----------+------+------------------------------------------------------------+

Here's an example:

import { RunnableLambda } from "@langchain/core/runnables";
import { dispatchCustomEvent } from "@langchain/core/callbacks/dispatch";
// Use this import for web environments that don't support "async_hooks"
// and manually pass config to child runs.
// import { dispatchCustomEvent } from "@langchain/core/callbacks/dispatch/web";

const slowThing = RunnableLambda.from(async (someInput: string) => {
  // Placeholder for some slow operation
  await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
  await dispatchCustomEvent("progress_event", {
   message: "Finished step 1 of 2",
 });
 await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
 return "Done";
});

const eventStream = await slowThing.streamEvents("hello world", {
  version: "v2",
});

for await (const event of eventStream) {
 if (event.event === "on_custom_event") {
   console.log(event);
 }
}
