Convert a runnable to a tool. Return a new instance of RunnableToolLike
which contains the runnable, name, description and schema.
Optionaldescription?: stringThe description of the tool. Falls back to the description on the Zod schema if not provided, or undefined if neither are provided.
Optionalname?: stringThe name of the tool. If not provided, it will default to the name of the runnable.
The Zod schema for the input of the tool. Infers the Zod type from the input type of the runnable.

A new runnable sequence.
Return a json-like object representing this chain.
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, though we suggest making it JSON serializable. |
+-----------+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
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);
}
}
OptionalstreamOptions: Omit<EventStreamCallbackHandlerInput, "autoClose">OptionalstreamOptions: Omit<EventStreamCallbackHandlerInput, "autoClose">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.
Optionaloptions: Partial<RunnableConfig<Record<string, any>>>OptionalstreamOptions: Omit<LogStreamCallbackHandlerInput, "autoClose">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.

Deprecated
This class will be removed in 1.0.0. See below for an example implementation using
createRetrievalChain.Class for conducting conversational question-answering tasks with a retrieval component. Extends the BaseChain class and implements the ConversationalRetrievalQAChainInput interface.
