Builder Summary

The Builder is a tool designed for constructing LinguFlow application logic using a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) approach. With a basic understanding of Blocks and Lines, you can quickly create an LinguFlow application.

Basic​

Within the Builder interface, you can:

  • Export the existing Blocks and Lines as a .yaml file. The export process anonymizes any keys.
  • Import an existing .yaml file and visualize it.
  • Save the current content.
  • Publish a saved version.

Information​

The bottom right corner of the Builder interface displays essential information, including the application name and version name.

Clicking the info button reveals detailed information:

  • App Name & App ID
  • Version Name & Version ID, where you can modify the version name.

Canvas​

The foundation of the Builder is a canvas. You can drag, zoom, or center the canvas to suit your needs.

Blocks​

Right-clicking or pressing the space key on the canvas brings up the block selection box. Selecting a specific block will place it on the canvas.

Blocks are the nodes within the DAG, each representing a specific processing logic. Block types include input, output, LLM, third-party tools, numerical processing, and invoking other LinguFlow applications. For a detailed introduction to block content, refer to the Blocks documentation.

Lines​

With two blocks on the canvas, you can connect them using a line.

There are two types of lines:

  • Data lines: These lines transfer information from the outport of one block to the import of another block. Note that a connection is only possible if the field types of the outport and import match exactly.
  • Conditional lines: Produced by special condition blocks, these lines carry results of True or False, allowing for the selection of subsequent blocks to run under different conditions.

Debugging​

The Debugging button, located at the bottom left corner of the Builder interface, opens the Debugging window when clicked.
