🎨 Creating Flows

Creating flows with Langflow is easy. Simply drag components from the sidebar onto the canvas and connect them to start building your application.

Explore by editing prompt parameters, grouping components into a single high-level component, and building your own Custom Components.

Once you’re done, you can export your flow as a JSON file.

Load the flow with:

from langflow.load import run_flow_from_json

results = run_flow_from_json("path/to/flow.json", input_value="Hello, World!")

🖥️ Command Line Interface (CLI)

Langflow provides a command-line interface (CLI) for easy management and configuration.

Environment Variables

You can configure many of the CLI options using environment variables. These can be exported in your operating system or added to a .env file and loaded using the --env-file option.

A sample .env file named .env.example is included with the project. Copy this file to a new file named .env and replace the example values with your actual settings. If you're setting values in both your OS and the .env file, the .env settings will take precedence.
