Module conditional_router

NoRouteSelectedException

Exception raised when no route is selected in ConditionalRouter.

RouteConditionException

Exception raised when there is an error parsing or evaluating the condition expression in ConditionalRouter.

ConditionalRouter

Routes data based on specific conditions.

You define these conditions in a list of dictionaries called routes. Each dictionary in this list represents a single route. Each route has these four elements:

condition: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.
output: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.
output_type: The type of the output data (for example, str, List[int]).
output_name: The name you want to use to publish output. This name is used to connect the router to other components in the pipeline.

Usage example

from typing import List
from haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter

routes = [
    {
        "condition": "{{streams|length > 2}}",
        "output": "{{streams}}",
        "output_name": "enough_streams",
        "output_type": List[int],
    },
    {
        "condition": "{{streams|length <= 2}}",
        "output": "{{streams}}",
        "output_name": "insufficient_streams",
        "output_type": List[int],
    },
]
router = ConditionalRouter(routes)
# When 'streams' has more than 2 items, 'enough_streams' output will activate, emitting the list [1, 2, 3]
kwargs = {"streams": [1, 2, 3], "query": "Haystack"}
result = router.run(**kwargs)
assert result == {"enough_streams": [1, 2, 3]}

In this example, we configure two routes. The first route sends the 'streams' value to 'enough_streams' if the stream count exceeds two. The second route directs 'streams' to 'insufficient_streams' if there are two or fewer streams.

In the pipeline setup, the Router connects to other components using the output names. For example, 'enough_streams' might connect to a component that processes streams, while 'insufficient_streams' might connect to a component that fetches more streams.

Here is a pipeline that uses ConditionalRouter and routes the fetched ByteStreams to different components depending on the number of streams fetched:

from typing import List
from haystack import Pipeline
from haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream
from haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter

routes = [
    {
        "condition": "{{streams|length > 2}}",
        "output": "{{streams}}",
        "output_name": "enough_streams",
        "output_type": List[ByteStream],
    },
    {
        "condition": "{{streams|length <= 2}}",
        "output": "{{streams}}",
        "output_name": "insufficient_streams",
        "output_type": List[ByteStream],
    },
]

pipe = Pipeline()
pipe.add_component("router", router)
...
pipe.connect("router.enough_streams", "some_component_a.streams")
pipe.connect("router.insufficient_streams", "some_component_b.streams_or_some_other_input")
...

ConditionalRouter.init

def __init__(routes: List[Dict],
             custom_filters: Optional[Dict[str, Callable]] = None,
             unsafe: bool = False)

Initializes the ConditionalRouter with a list of routes detailing the conditions for routing.

Arguments:

routes: A list of dictionaries, each defining a route. Each route has these four elements:
condition: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.
output: A Jinja2 expression defining the route's output value.
output_type: The type of the output data (for example, str, List[int]).
output_name: The name you want to use to publish output. This name is used to connect the router to other components in the pipeline.
custom_filters: A dictionary of custom Jinja2 filters used in the condition expressions. For example, passing {"my_filter": my_filter_fcn} where:
my_filter is the name of the custom filter.
my_filter_fcn is a callable that takes my_var:str and returns my_var[:3]. {{ my_var|my_filter }} can then be used inside a route condition expression: "condition": "{{ my_var|my_filter == 'foo' }}".
unsafe: Enable execution of arbitrary code in the Jinja template. This should only be used if you trust the source of the template as it can be lead to remote code execution.

ConditionalRouter.to_dict

def to_dict() -> Dict[str, Any]

Serializes the component to a dictionary.

Returns:

Dictionary with serialized data.

ConditionalRouter.from_dict

@classmethod
def from_dict(cls, data: Dict[str, Any]) -> "ConditionalRouter"

Deserializes the component from a dictionary.

Arguments:

data: The dictionary to deserialize from.

Returns:

The deserialized component.

ConditionalRouter.run

def run(**kwargs)

Executes the routing logic.

Executes the routing logic by evaluating the specified boolean condition expressions for each route in the order they are listed. The method directs the flow of data to the output specified in the first route whose condition is True.

Arguments:

kwargs: All variables used in the condition expressed in the routes. When the component is used in a pipeline, these variables are passed from the previous component's output.

Raises:

NoRouteSelectedException: If no condition' in the routes is True`.
RouteConditionException: If there is an error parsing or evaluating the condition expression in the routes.

Returns:

A dictionary where the key is the output_name of the selected route and the value is the output of the selected route.

Module file_type_router

FileTypeRouter

Categorizes files or byte streams by their MIME types, helping in context-based routing.

FileTypeRouter supports both exact MIME type matching and regex patterns.

For file paths, MIME types come from extensions, while byte streams use metadata. You can use regex patterns in the mime_types parameter to set broad categories (such as 'audio/' or 'text/') or specific types. MIME types without regex patterns are treated as exact matches.

Usage example

from haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter
from pathlib import Path

# For exact MIME type matching
router = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=["text/plain", "application/pdf"])

# For flexible matching using regex, to handle all audio types
router_with_regex = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=[r"audio/.*", r"text/plain"])

sources = [Path("file.txt"), Path("document.pdf"), Path("song.mp3")]
print(router.run(sources=sources))
print(router_with_regex.run(sources=sources))

# Expected output:
# {'text/plain': [
#   PosixPath('file.txt')], 'application/pdf': [PosixPath('document.pdf')], 'unclassified': [PosixPath('song.mp3')
# ]}
# {'audio/.*': [
#   PosixPath('song.mp3')], 'text/plain': [PosixPath('file.txt')], 'unclassified': [PosixPath('document.pdf')
# ]}

Arguments:

mime_types: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input files or byte streams.

FileTypeRouter.init

def __init__(mime_types: List[str])

Initialize the FileTypeRouter component.

Arguments:

mime_types: A list of MIME types or regex patterns to classify the input files or byte streams. (for example: ["text/plain", "audio/x-wav", "image/jpeg"]).

FileTypeRouter.run

def run(
    sources: List[Union[str, Path, ByteStream]]
) -> Dict[str, List[Union[ByteStream, Path]]]

Categorize files or byte streams according to their MIME types.

Arguments:

sources: A list of file paths or byte streams to categorize.

Returns:

A dictionary where the keys are MIME types (or "unclassified") and the values are lists of data sources.

Module metadata_router

MetadataRouter

Routes documents to different connections based on their metadata fields.

Specify the routing rules in the init method. If a document does not match any of the rules, it's routed to a connection named "unmatched".

Usage example

from haystack import Document
from haystack.components.routers import MetadataRouter

docs = [Document(content="Paris is the capital of France.", meta={"language": "en"}),
        Document(content="Berlin ist die Haupststadt von Deutschland.", meta={"language": "de"})]

router = MetadataRouter(rules={"en": {"field": "meta.language", "operator": "==", "value": "en"}})

print(router.run(documents=docs))

# {'en': [Document(id=..., content: 'Paris is the capital of France.', meta: {'language': 'en'})],
# 'unmatched': [Document(id=..., content: 'Berlin ist die Haupststadt von Deutschland.', meta: {'language': 'de'})]}

MetadataRouter.init

def __init__(rules: Dict[str, Dict])

Initializes the MetadataRouter component.

Arguments:

rules: A dictionary defining how to route documents to output connections based on their metadata. Keys are output connection names, and values are dictionaries of filtering expressions in Haystack. For example:

{
"edge_1": {
    "operator": "AND",
    "conditions": [
        {"field": "meta.created_at", "operator": ">=", "value": "2023-01-01"},
