How to parse the output of calling an LLM on this formatted prompt

Methods

  • Format the prompt given the input values.

    Parameters

    • values: TypedPromptInputValues<RunInput>

      A dictionary of arguments to be passed to the prompt template.

    Returns Promise<string>

    A formatted prompt string.

    Example

    prompt.format({ foo: "bar" });
    
  • Format the prompt given the input values and return a formatted prompt value.

    Parameters

    • values: TypedPromptInputValues<RunInput>

    Returns Promise<RunOutput>

    A formatted PromptValue.

  • Invokes the prompt template with the given input and options.

    Parameters

    • input: RunInput

      The input to invoke the prompt template with.

    • Optional options: BaseCallbackConfig

      Optional configuration for the callback.

    Returns Promise<RunOutput>

    A Promise that resolves to the output of the prompt template.

  • Merges partial variables and user variables.

    Parameters

    • userVariables: TypedPromptInputValues<RunInput>

      The user variables to merge with the partial variables.

    Returns Promise<InputValues<PartialVariableName | Extract<keyof RunInput, string>>>

    A Promise that resolves to an object containing the merged variables.

  • Create a new runnable sequence that runs each individual runnable in series, piping the output of one runnable into another runnable or runnable-like.

    Type Parameters

    • NewRunOutput

    Parameters

    • coerceable: RunnableLike<RunOutput, NewRunOutput>

      A runnable, function, or object whose values are functions or runnables.

    Returns RunnableSequence<RunInput, Exclude<NewRunOutput, Error>>

    A new runnable sequence.

  • 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.

    Parameters

    • input: RunInput
    • Optional options: Partial<BaseCallbackConfig>
    • Optional streamOptions: Omit<LogStreamCallbackHandlerInput, "autoClose">

    Returns AsyncGenerator<RunLogPatch, any, unknown>

  • 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.

    Parameters

    Returns AsyncGenerator<RunOutput, any, unknown>
