mergePartialAndUserVariables
▸ mergePartialAndUserVariables(userVariables): Promise<InputValues>
Parameters
| Name | Type |
|---|---|
userVariables | InputValues |
Returns
Promise<InputValues>
Defined in
langchain/src/prompts/base.ts:69
partial
▸ Abstract partial(values): Promise<BasePromptTemplate>
Parameters
| Name | Type |
|---|---|
values | PartialValues |
Returns
Promise<BasePromptTemplate>
Defined in
langchain/src/prompts/base.ts:67
serialize
▸ Abstract serialize(): SerializedBasePromptTemplate
Return a json-like object representing this prompt template.
Returns
Defined in
langchain/src/prompts/base.ts:115
deserialize
▸ Static deserialize(data): Promise<BasePromptTemplate>
Load a prompt template from a json-like object describing it.
Remarks
Deserializing needs to be async because templates (e.g. FewShotPromptTemplate) can reference remote resources that we read asynchronously with a web request.
Parameters
| Name | Type |
|---|---|
data | SerializedBasePromptTemplate |
Returns
Promise<BasePromptTemplate>
