# langchain-objectbox

## About

This package contains the [ObjectBox](https://objectbox.io) integrations for [LangChain](https://www.langchain.com).
This page will show you how to use the ObjectBox vector store in your LangChain projects.

## Getting Started

Install the `langchain-objectbox` package from PyPI via pip.

```
pip install langchain-objectbox
```

In Python import the ObjectBox vector store which is available under fully qualified class
path `langchain_objectbox.vectorstores.ObjectBox`, e.g.:

```
from langchain_objectbox.vectorstores import ObjectBox
```

Create an ObjectBox VectorStore using e.g. one of the `from_` class methods e.g. `from_texts` class method.

**NOTE:** Ensure to set argument `embedding_dimensions` along with the dimensions used in your embeddings model.

```
obx_vectorstore = ObjectBox.from_texts(texts, embeddings, embedding_dimensions=768)
```

## Examples: How to use ObjectBox in LangChain

Note: we have also fully runnable examples in the `examples` directory.

### Example 1: A *very* simple example using DeterministicFakeEmbedding

This small example demonstrates how to create an ObjectBox vector store with a list of texts and then perform a
similarity search.
Note that the `DeterministicFakeEmbedding` is a not a real embedding model and thus does not match semantically.

```python
from langchain_core.embeddings.fake import DeterministicFakeEmbedding
from langchain_objectbox.vectorstores import ObjectBox

texts = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
obx_vectorstore = ObjectBox.from_texts(
    texts,
    DeterministicFakeEmbedding(size=10),
    embedding_dimensions=10,
)
result = obx_vectorstore.similarity_search("foo", k=1)
print(result)
```

### Example 2: A more complex example using web retrieval chain

Prerequisites:

- Ollama as local LLM: See installation notes on https://python.langchain.com/docs/get_started/quickstart
- ``pip install langchain bs4``

```python
from langchain_objectbox.vectorstores import ObjectBox

from langchain_community.llms import Ollama
llm = Ollama(model="llama2")

from langchain_community.document_loaders import WebBaseLoader
loader = WebBaseLoader("https://docs.smith.langchain.com/user_guide")

docs = loader.load()

from langchain_community.embeddings import OllamaEmbeddings

embeddings = OllamaEmbeddings()

from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain
from langchain_core.prompts.chat import ChatPromptTemplate

prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template("""Answer the following question based only on the provided context:

<context>
{context}
</context>

Question: {input}""")

from langchain_text_splitters import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter

text_splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter()
documents = text_splitter.split_documents(docs)

vector = ObjectBox.from_documents(documents, embeddings, embedding_dimensions=768)
document_chain = create_stuff_documents_chain(llm, prompt)
from langchain_core.documents import Document
from langchain.chains import create_retrieval_chain

retriever = vector.as_retriever()
retrieval_chain = create_retrieval_chain(retriever, document_chain)

response = retrieval_chain.invoke({"input": "how can langsmith help with testing?"})
print(response["answer"])
```

## Developing

If you are interested in developing the `langchain-objectbox` package itself (just "just" using it),
you can check the "developer-notes.md" page.
