# create a new file `csv.csv`, and upload it via the file pickerDescriptionDue to requirements in the project, our implementation of LangChain separates the Front-End and Back-End into separate applications. The Front-End makes request via an AWS API Gateway -> Lambda, while the Back-End handles storage, logging, and everything LangChain via a Docker Image -> AWS Lambda. The front-end is able to provide a file, but because of limitation on AWS Lambda, this file isn't 'stored locally' (with a path), but instead is in memory as starlette.datastructures.UploadFile or basically From what I can tell, most document loaders only take a string for the file path; resulting in an error on load.
Any idea on utilizing this file directly instead of providing a path to the loader? Please note - csv is just an example. I eventually hope to support many more complex files types like System InfoSystem Information (running my docker image locally)

🤖 Hey there @pastram-i! 🎉 Good to see you back with another intriguing issue. Let's dive into this one! Based on the information you've provided, it seems that the current implementation of LangChain's document loaders only supports loading files from the filesystem. However, you can create a custom BlobLoader to handle in-memory files, such as the Here's an example of how you might create a new BlobLoader for in-memory files: from langchain_community.document_loaders.blob_loaders import BlobLoader
from starlette.datastructures import UploadFile
class InMemoryBlobLoader(BlobLoader):
def __init__(self, upload_file: UploadFile):
self.upload_file = upload_file
def yield_blobs(self):
yield self.upload_file.read()This Then, you can use this new BlobLoader in the GenericLoader: from langchain_community.document_loaders import GenericLoader
from langchain_community.document_loaders.parsers.pdf import PyPDFParser
# Assuming `upload_file` is an instance of `starlette.datastructures.UploadFile`
blob_loader = InMemoryBlobLoader(upload_file)
blob_parser = PyPDFParser() # or any other parser you want to use
loader = GenericLoader(blob_loader, blob_parser)
docs = loader.lazy_load()
next(docs)This code creates a new Please note that this is a workaround and might not be the most efficient solution, especially for large files, as it loads the entire file into memory. If you're dealing with large files, you might want to consider other solutions, such as streaming the file or storing it temporarily on disk. I hope this helps! If you have any other questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. Sources

@dosu_bot While I think the idea is close, this route doesn't seem to be effective. Most parsers, if not all, seem to have requirement for a specific function to be available to the blob. For example - in the PyPDFParser suggested, the functions in this module use class PyPDFParser(BaseBlobParser):
"""Load `PDF` using `pypdf`"""
def __init__(
self, password: Optional[Union[str, bytes]] = None, extract_images: bool = False
):
self.password = password
self.extract_images = extract_images
def lazy_parse(self, blob: Blob) -> Iterator[Document]:
"""Lazily parse the blob."""
import pypdf
**with blob.as_bytes_io() as pdf_file_obj:**
...So this results in an error like:
My example code is as follows: class InMemoryBlobLoader(BlobLoader):
def __init__(self, upload_file):
self.upload_file = upload_file
def yield_blobs(self):
yield self.upload_file.read()
from langchain_community.document_loaders.generic import GenericLoader
from langchain_community.document_loaders.parsers.pdf import PyPDFParser
blob_loader = InMemoryBlobLoader(context)
blob_parser = PyPDFParser()
loader = GenericLoader(blob_loader, blob_parser)
documents = loader.load()Is there another suggested route - or simply a parser/loader that wouldn't require any special case like this? |

🤖 Based on your description, it seems like you're trying to load an in-memory file using LangChain's document loaders. As you've noticed, the current loaders are designed to work with file paths, not in-memory data. However, you can create a custom BlobLoader to handle in-memory files. Here's an example of how you might create a custom BlobLoader for in-memory files: from langchain_community.document_loaders.blob_loaders import BlobLoader
class InMemoryBlobLoader(BlobLoader):
def __init__(self, data):
self.data = data
def yield_blobs(self):
yield self.dataThis from langchain_community.document_loaders import GenericLoader
from langchain_community.document_loaders.parsers.pdf import PyPDFParser
# Assuming `data` is your in-memory file
loader = GenericLoader(
blob_loader=InMemoryBlobLoader(data),
blob_parser=PyPDFParser()
)
docs = loader.lazy_load()
next(docs)This will create a GenericLoader that uses the Please note that this is a workaround and might not be the most efficient solution for large in-memory files. The current design of LangChain's document loaders is more suited for file-based workflows. However, this should help you to load in-memory files with LangChain's document loaders.

Silly dosu-bot, that was the same suggestion you've already had, this comment was in reference to that suggestion not being viable. |

To handle in-memory files like One effective method is to wrap the in-memory data into a file-like object. Python's from io import BytesIO
from langchain_community.document_loaders.blob_loaders import BlobLoader
from starlette.datastructures import UploadFile
class InMemoryBlobLoader(BlobLoader):
def __init__(self, upload_file: UploadFile):
self.upload_file = upload_file
async def yield_blobs(self):
# Read the file's bytes and wrap them in BytesIO
data = await self.upload_file.read()
yield BytesIO(data)Then, when using this loader with a parser, ensure you're handling asynchronous operations correctly, as reading from from langchain_community.document_loaders import GenericLoader
from langchain_community.document_loaders.parsers.pdf import PyPDFParser
# Ensure your endpoint or function handling this is async
async def load_document(upload_file):
blob_loader = InMemoryBlobLoader(upload_file)
blob_parser = PyPDFParser()
loader = GenericLoader(blob_loader, blob_parser)
# Since yield_blobs is async, ensure you're iterating over it correctly
documents = []
async for doc in loader.lazy_load():
documents.append(doc)
return documentsThis approach should allow you to use LangChain's document loaders with in-memory files by providing a file-like object to the parsers, circumventing the issue with direct byte or coroutine objects. Remember to adjust your async handling based on your application's architecture and the specific requirements of the parsers you're using.

hey @pastram-i! have you found a solution for this? I'm currently facing the same issue |

@matisidler - I've settled on a bit of a workaround instead of a solution. I upload to s3 using boto3, then use the S3FileLoader. I've just settled on this solution within the last week, so I haven't tested in thoroughly, but afaik it should be file type agnostic. from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi import UploadFile, File
from langchain_community.document_loaders import S3FileLoader
from datetime import datetime
from uuid import uuid5, NAMESPACE_DNS
app = FastAPI()
s3_bucket = "xyz"
@app.post("/")
async def example(
file: UploadFile = File(None),
):
session = boto3.Session()
s3_client = session.client("s3", config=Config(signature_version='s3v4'))
file_id = uuid5(NAMESPACE_DNS, str(datetime.now()))
s3_client.upload_fileobj(Fileobj=file, Bucket=s3_bucket, Key=file_id)
loader = S3FileLoader(s3_bucket, file_id)
data = loader.load()
return {}
# run with uvicorn main:app --reload
# http://127.0.0.1:8000
# create a new file `csv.csv`, and upload it via the file picker |

Hi @pastram-i , curious to know. What would be the issue with using NamedTemporaryFile to temporarily save the file to a path and then using the loader to return docs? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Something like so: from tempfile import NamedTemporaryFile
from langchain_community.document_loaders import UnstructuredPDFLoader
from fastapi import UploadFile
async def load_doc(file: UploadFile):
with NamedTemporaryFile(suffix=".pdf") as tmp_file:
tmp_file.write(await file.read())
tmp_file_path = tmp_file.name
loader = UnstructuredPDFLoader(tmp_file_path)
docs = loader.load() |

Hey, I wanted to leave my 2 cents here as well, maybe it will be useful for someone. You don't need to save the file temporarily, since loaders and parsers are separated, you can create an import os

from langchain_community.document_loaders.blob_loaders import BlobLoader
from langchain_community.document_loaders.parsers.txt import TextParser
from langchain_core.document_loaders import BaseLoader, Blob
from langchain_core.documents import Document
class UploadFileBlobLoader(BlobLoader):
data: Union[bytes, str] = ""
metadata: dict[str, str] = {}
def __init__(
self,
*,
file: UploadFile,
) -> None:
self.data = file.file.read()
if file.filename is not None:
self.metadata["source"] = file.filename
def yield_blobs(self) -> Iterable[Blob]:
yield Blob.from_data(data=self.data, metadata=self.metadata)
class TextDocumentComposer(BaseLoader):
def __init__(
self,
*,
file: UploadFile,
) -> None:
self.loader = UploadFileBlobLoader(file=file)
self.parser = TextParser()
def lazy_load(self) -> Iterator[Document]:
for blob in self.loader.yield_blobs():
for doc in self.parser.parse(blob=blob):
yield doc
app = FastAPI()
@app.post("/")
async def upload_file(
file: UploadFile,
) -> None:
file_extension = os.path.splitext(file.filename)[1].lower()
match file_extension:
case ".txt":
composer = TextDocumentComposer(file=file)
case _:
raise HTTPException(
status_code=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST,
detail="Unsupported file format",
)
docs = composer.load() |
