Configurable - Copilotkit

What is this?

LangChain agents are able to take execution parameters, such as auth tokens and similar properties. You can add these using this feature.

If you wish to read further, you can refer to the configuration guide by LangGraph

When should I use this?

This is useful when you want to send execution-time configuration information (such as different tokens or metadata for a given session) that should not be part of the agent state.

<Callout type="info" title="Looking for authentication?"> If you need to pass authentication tokens specifically, see the dedicated [Authentication guide](/langgraph/auth) which covers LangGraph Platform and self-hosted authentication patterns in detail. </Callout>

Implementation

By default, LangChain agents are invoked with a config argument. This config has a configurable property which can be accessed and filled with your data.

<Steps> <Step> ### Pass configuration from the frontend First, pass the configuration properties as you would like to receive them in the agent

tsx

import { useAgent } from "@copilotkit/react-core/v2"; // [!code highlight]
import { useEffect } from "react";
function YourMainContent() {
  // ...

  // [!code highlight:3]
  const { agent } = useAgent({
    agentId: "sample_agent",
  });

  // Pass configuration when running the agent
  // [!code highlight:8]
  useEffect(() => {
    agent.runAgent({
      forwardedProps: {
        config: {
          configurable: {
            authToken: 'example-token'
          },
          recursion_limit: 50,
        }
      }
    });
  }, []);

  // ...

  return (... your component UI markdown)
}

</Step> <Step> ### Use configurables in agent Now you can simply pull the values from the provided config argument in any agent node

        auth_token = config['configurable'].get('authToken', None)

        return state
    ```
</Tab>
<Tab value="TypeScript">
    ```typescript
    async function agentNode(state: AgentState, config: RunnableConfig): Promise<AgentState> {
        const authToken = config.configurable?.authToken ?? null;

        return state;
    }
    ```
</Tab>

</Tabs> </Step> <Step> ### Optional: Define configurables schema If you'd like, you can define a schema to indicate which configurables you wish to receive. Any item passed to "configurables" which is not included in the schema, will be filtered out.
