Represents a state field backed by a DeltaChannel.

Unlike ReducedValue (which stores the full accumulated value in every checkpoint blob via BinaryOperatorAggregate), a DeltaValue field persists only per-step deltas (plus periodic snapshots) and reconstructs its state on read by replaying ancestor writes through a batch reducer. This avoids re-serializing large accumulators (e.g. long message histories) at every step.

Beta. The on-disk representation backing DeltaChannel may change in future releases.

The schema used to validate reducer inputs. Defaults to valueSchema when not specified explicitly.

Represents the type that may be provided as input on each update.

The schema that describes the type of value stored in state (after reduction). Its default (if any) seeds the channel's initial value.

Type guard to check if a value is a DeltaValue instance.

Copy
import { z } from "zod";
import { StateSchema, DeltaValue } from "@langchain/langgraph";

const State = new StateSchema({
  history: new DeltaValue(z.array(z.string()).default(() => []), {
    inputSchema: z.string(),
    reducer: (current, writes) => [...current, ...writes],
  }),
});
