method
streamEvents→ IterableReadableStream<StreamEvent>

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);
 }
}
method
streamLog→ AsyncGenerator<RunLogPatch>

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.

method
toJSON→ Serialized
method
toJSONNotImplemented→ SerializedNotImplemented
method
transform→ AsyncGenerator<ToolOutputT | ToolMessage<MessageStructure<MessageToolSet>>>

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.

method
withConfig→ Runnable<StructuredToolCallInput<SchemaT, SchemaInputT>, ToolOutputT | ToolMessage<MessageStructure<MessageToolSet>>, RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>

Bind config to a Runnable, returning a new Runnable.

method
withFallbacks→ RunnableWithFallbacks<StructuredToolCallInput<SchemaT, SchemaInputT>, ToolOutputT | ToolMessage<MessageStructure<MessageToolSet>>>

Create a new runnable from the current one that will try invoking other passed fallback runnables if the initial invocation fails.

method
withListeners→ Runnable<StructuredToolCallInput<SchemaT, SchemaInputT>, ToolOutputT | ToolMessage<MessageStructure<MessageToolSet>>, RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>

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.

method
withRetry→ RunnableRetry<StructuredToolCallInput<SchemaT, SchemaInputT>, ToolOutputT | ToolMessage<MessageStructure<MessageToolSet>>, RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>

Add retry logic to an existing runnable.

method
isRunnable→ thing is Runnable<any, any, RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>
method
lc_name→ string

The name of the serializable. Override to provide an alias or to preserve the serialized module name in minified environments.

Implemented as a static method to support loading logic.

deprecatedmethod
call→ Promise<ToolReturnType<NonNullable<TArg>, TConfig, ToolOutputT>>

A tool that can be created dynamically from a function, name, and description, designed to work with structured data. It extends the StructuredTool class and overrides the _call method to execute the provided function when the tool is called.

Schema can be passed as Zod or JSON schema. The tool will not validate input if JSON schema is passed.
