App(Definition)

Apps in trulens derive from two classes, AppDefinition and App. The first contains only serialized or serializable components in a JSON-like format while the latter contains the executable apps that may or may not be serializable.

trulens_eval.schema.app.AppDefinition

Bases: WithClassInfo, SerialModel

Serialized fields of an app here whereas App contains non-serialized fields.

Attributes

feedback_definitions class-attribute instance-attribute

feedback_definitions: Sequence[FeedbackDefinition] = []

Feedback functions to evaluate on each record.

feedback_mode class-attribute instance-attribute

feedback_mode: FeedbackMode = WITH_APP_THREAD

How to evaluate feedback functions upon producing a record.

root_class instance-attribute

root_class: Class

Class of the main instrumented object.

Ideally this would be a ClassVar but since we want to check this without instantiating the subclass of AppDefinition that would define it, we cannot use ClassVar.

root_callable class-attribute

root_callable: FunctionOrMethod

App's main method.

This is to be filled in by subclass.

app instance-attribute

Wrapped app in jsonized form.

initial_app_loader_dump class-attribute instance-attribute

initial_app_loader_dump: Optional[SerialBytes] = None

Serialization of a function that loads an app.

Dump is of the initial app state before any invocations. This can be used to create a new session.

Warning

Experimental work in progress.

app_extra_json instance-attribute

app_extra_json: JSON

Info to store about the app and to display in dashboard.

This can be used even if app itself cannot be serialized. app_extra_json, then, can stand in place for whatever data the user might want to keep track of about the app.

app_id instance-attribute

app_id: AppID = app_id

Unique identifier for this app.

tags instance-attribute

tags: Tags = tags

Tags for the app.

metadata instance-attribute

metadata: Metadata = metadata

Metadata for the app.

Functions

continue_session staticmethod

continue_session(app_definition_json: JSON, app: Any) -> AppDefinition

Instantiate the given app with the given state app_definition_json.

Warning

This is an experimental feature with ongoing work.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
app_definition_json

The json serialized app.

TYPE: JSON

app

The app to continue the session with.

TYPE: Any

RETURNS DESCRIPTION
AppDefinition

A new AppDefinition instance with the given app and the given app_definition_json state.

new_session staticmethod

new_session(app_definition_json: JSON, initial_app_loader: Optional[Callable] = None) -> AppDefinition

Create an app instance at the start of a session.

Warning

This is an experimental feature with ongoing work.

Create a copy of the json serialized app with the enclosed app being initialized to its initial state before any records are produced (i.e. blank memory).

get_loadable_apps staticmethod

get_loadable_apps()

Gets a list of all of the loadable apps.

Warning

This is an experimental feature with ongoing work.

This is those that have initial_app_loader_dump set.

select_inputs classmethod

select_inputs() -> Lens

Get the path to the main app's call inputs.

select_outputs classmethod

select_outputs() -> Lens

Get the path to the main app's call outputs.

trulens_eval.app.App

Bases: AppDefinition, WithInstrumentCallbacks, Hashable

Base app recorder type.

Non-serialized fields here while the serialized ones are defined in AppDefinition.

This class is abstract. Use one of these concrete subclasses as appropriate: - TruLlama for LlamaIndex apps. - TruChain for LangChain apps. - TruRails for NeMo Guardrails apps. - TruVirtual for recording information about invocations of apps without access to those apps. - TruCustomApp for custom apps. These need to be decorated to have appropriate data recorded. - TruBasicApp for apps defined solely by a string-to-string method.

awith_ async

awith_(func: CallableMaybeAwaitable[A, T], *args, **kwargs) -> T

Call the given async func with the given *args and **kwargs while recording, producing func results. The record of the computation is available through other means like the database or dashboard. If you need a record of this execution immediately, you can use awith_record or the App as a context mananger instead.

with_ async

with_(func: Callable[[A], T], *args, **kwargs) -> T

Call the given async func with the given *args and **kwargs while recording, producing func results. The record of the computation is available through other means like the database or dashboard.

Create a dummy record with some of the expected structure without actually invoking the app.

The record is a guess of what an actual record might look like but will be missing information that can only be determined after a call is made.

All args are Record fields except these:

- `record_id` is generated using the default id naming schema.
- `app_id` is taken from this recorder.
- `calls` field is constructed based on instrumented methods.

instrumented

instrumented() -> Iterable[Tuple[Lens, ComponentView]]

Iteration over instrumented components and their categories.

print_instrumented

print_instrumented() -> None

trulens_eval.app.RecordingContext

Manager of the creation of records from record calls.

An instance of this class is produced when using an App as a context mananger, i.e.:

Example
app = ...  # your app
truapp: TruChain = TruChain(app, ...) # recorder for LangChain apps

with truapp as recorder:
    app.invoke(...) # use your app

recorder: RecordingContext

Each instance of this class produces a record for every "root" instrumented method called. Root method here means the first instrumented method in a call stack. Note that there may be more than one of these contexts in play at the same time due to:

  • More than one wrapper of the same app.
  • More than one context manager ("with" statement) surrounding calls to the same app.
  • Calls to "with_record" on methods that themselves contain recording.
  • Calls to apps that use trulens internally to track records in any of the supported ways.
  • Combinations of the above.
