langchain.memory.buffer.ConversationBufferMemory

class langchain.memory.buffer.ConversationBufferMemory[source]

Bases: BaseChatMemory

Buffer for storing conversation memory.

Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments.

Raises ValidationError if the input data cannot be parsed to form a valid model.

classmethod construct(_fields_set: Optional[SetStr] = None, **values: Any) → Model

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed. Behaves as if Config.extra = ‘allow’ was set since it adds all passed values

Parameters

  • _fields_set (Optional[SetStr]) –

  • values (Any) –

Return type

Model

copy(*, include: Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]] = None, exclude: Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]] = None, update: Optional[DictStrAny] = None, deep: bool = False) → Model

Duplicate a model, optionally choose which fields to include, exclude and change.

Parameters

  • include (Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]]) – fields to include in new model

  • exclude (Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]]) – fields to exclude from new model, as with values this takes precedence over include

  • update (Optional[DictStrAny]) – values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating the new model: you should trust this data

  • deep (bool) – set to True to make a deep copy of the model

  • self (Model) –

Returns

new model instance

Return type

Model

dict(*, include: Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]] = None, exclude: Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]] = None, by_alias: bool = False, skip_defaults: Optional[bool] = None, exclude_unset: bool = False, exclude_defaults: bool = False, exclude_none: bool = False) → DictStrAny
