Overview
The StringJoiner
component collects multiple string outputs from various pipeline components and combines them into a single list. This is useful when you need to merge several strings from different parts of a pipeline into a unified output.
Usage
from haystack.components.joiners import StringJoiner
from haystack.components.builders import PromptBuilder
from haystack.core.pipeline import Pipeline
from haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator
from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage
string_1 = "What's Natural Language Processing?"
string_2 = "What is life?"
pipeline = Pipeline()
pipeline.add_component("prompt_builder_1", PromptBuilder("Builder 1: {{query}}"))
pipeline.add_component("prompt_builder_2", PromptBuilder("Builder 2: {{query}}"))
pipeline.add_component("string_joiner", StringJoiner())
pipeline.connect("prompt_builder_1.prompt", "string_joiner.strings")
pipeline.connect("prompt_builder_2.prompt", "string_joiner.strings")
print(pipeline.run(data={"prompt_builder_1": {"query": string_1}, "prompt_builder_2": {"query": string_2}}))
>> {"string_joiner": {"strings": ["Builder 1: What's Natural Language Processing?", "Builder 2: What is life?"]}}
