LangFlow Flows

This directory is a placeholder for local flow development. The platform imports flows from external sources (git repositories) rather than bundling them.

Example Flows

Official example flows are maintained in a separate repository:

cfchase/langflow-examples

Flow Sources

The platform can load flows from multiple sources:

Source Type	Description	Use Case
File	Single JSON file or URL	Quick imports, direct links
Git (Public)	Public git repository	Community flows, examples
Git (Private)	Private git repository	Enterprise, proprietary flows
Local	Directory on filesystem	Development, testing

Configuration

Configure flow sources in config/flow-sources.yaml:

flow_sources:
  # Example flows from GitHub
  - name: examples
    type: git
    url: https://github.com/cfchase/langflow-examples
    project: "Examples"       # Target project (created if missing)
    public: true              # Make flows visible to all users

  # Private enterprise flows
  - name: enterprise
    type: git
    url: https://github.com/your-org/your-flows
    project: "Enterprise"
    pattern: "**/flows/*.json"  # Only import from flows/ subdirectories
    auth:
      env_var: GITHUB_FLOW_TOKEN

  # Local development
  - name: local-dev
    type: local
    path: ./langflow-flows/dev
    project: "Development"

Configuration Options

Option	Description	Default
name	Source identifier	required
type	file, local, or git	required
path	File path or URL (for file/local types)	required
url	Git repository URL (for git type)	required
branch	Git branch to clone (for git type)	main
project	LangFlow project name (created if missing)	none
pattern	Glob pattern for finding flows	**/*.json
public	Make flows visible to all users	false
enabled	Enable/disable this source	true

Import Flows

# Import from all configured sources
make langflow-import

# Or with a simple path override
FLOW_SOURCE_PATH=./my-flows make langflow-import

Flow File Format

Each flow consists of:

1. Flow Definition (*.json)

LangFlow export JSON file:

{
  "name": "Flow Name",
  "description": "Flow description",
  "data": {
    "nodes": [...],
    "edges": [...]
  }
}

2. Metadata (*.metadata.yaml) - Planned Feature

Note: Metadata files are not yet processed by the importer. This is a planned feature.

Additional platform metadata (future):

name: Flow Name
description: Flow description
version: 1.0.0
author: Team Name
tags: [research, chat]
requires: [GEMINI_API_KEY]

Creating Flows

1. Open LangFlow UI: http://localhost:7860
2. Create flow using visual builder
3. Test in playground
4. Export: Click "Export" → "Download JSON"
5. Add to your flow repository
6. Import: make langflow-import

Creating Your Own Flow Repository

See cfchase/langflow-examples as a template:

your-flows-repo/
├── README.md
├── simple-ollama/
│   └── simple-ollama.json
└── my-flow/
    ├── my-flow.json
    └── my-flow.metadata.yaml   # Optional

The import script recursively finds all *.json files in the repository.
