fix: Serialize metadata for documents in PGVectorStoreComponent

[marcioibm]

When ingesting 1 single file in PGVector you get this error:

Error building Component PGVector: (builtins.TypeError) Object of type Properties is not JSON serializable

By serializing the metadata the same way it was fixed in AstraDB (#9777) we fix #10213

Walkthrough

This PR updates 16 starter project JSON templates across the Langflow initial setup. Changes focus on three main areas: ChatOutput now preserves incoming Message session IDs via fallback chaining, LanguageModelComponent is refactored to delegate to centralized helper functions (get_llm, update_model_options_in_build_config) instead of inline provider logic, and StructuredOutputComponent adds API key field exposure. All code_hash metadata values updated accordingly.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
ChatOutput Session ID & Source Preservation Basic Prompt Chaining.json, Basic Prompting.json, Blog Writer.json, Custom Component Generator.json, Document Q&A.json, Financial Report Parser.json, Hybrid Search RAG.json, Image Sentiment Analysis.json, Knowledge Retrieval.json, Meeting Summary.json, Memory Chatbot.json, Research Translation Loop.json, SEO Keyword Generator.json	Updated message_response to capture and preserve existing_session_id from incoming Message, using fallback chain: self.session_id → existing_session_id → graph.session_id → "". Enhanced _build_source to resolve source from objects with model_name/model attributes. Updated code_hash metadata to reflect changes.
LanguageModelComponent Refactor Basic Prompt Chaining.json, Basic Prompting.json, Memory Chatbot.json, Research Translation Loop.json	Replaced inline provider-specific logic with delegated helper functions (get_llm, update_model_options_in_build_config, get_language_model_options). In some files, update_build_config signature changed from (build_config: dotdict, field_value: Any, field_name: str | None = None) → dotdict to (build_config: dict, field_value: str, field_name: str | None = None) → dict. Consolidated model construction and provider handling via centralized utilities.
StructuredOutputComponent API Key Exposure Financial Report Parser.json, Hybrid Search RAG.json, Image Sentiment Analysis.json	Added api_key field (SecretStrInput) to component template with display_name, security properties, and load_from_db behavior for OpenAI API key input in UI.
LanguageModelComponent Input Rename (llm → model) Hybrid Search RAG.json, Portfolio Website Code Generator.json	Renamed primary language model input from llm (HandleInput) to model (ModelInput) and added external_options field for connecting alternative models. Updated template metadata (model_type, placeholder, refresh controls, tool_mode).
Agent Component Restructuring Invoice Summarizer.json, Price Deal Finder.json	Replaced agent_llm dropdown and per-provider fields (model_name, max_output_tokens, max_tokens, temperature, timeout, base_url, openai_api_base, project_id, max_retries, seed) with unified model (ModelInput) input with external_options for provider-aware configuration. Updated API key field label/description. Removed memory inputs.
Enhanced Data Serialization & StructuredOutputComponent Refactor Financial Report Parser.json	Added _serialize_data method for JSON-encoding Data.data with orjson, returning Markdown code block. Updated StructuredOutputComponent to use model input (instead of llm) with parameter order (llm, schema, config_dict) and llm.with_structured_output integration.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 4 (Complex) | ⏱️ ~45–60 minutes

Areas requiring extra attention:

• LanguageModelComponent refactor across 4 files: Verify that delegation to get_llm and update_model_options_in_build_config correctly handles all provider branches (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, IBM watsonx.ai, Ollama), especially edge cases around API key validation and Ollama URL normalization.
• update_build_config signature changes in Basic Prompting.json and Memory Chatbot.json: Confirm that the transition from (dotdict, Any) → (dict, str) parameters maintains backward compatibility and all callers are updated.
• Session ID preservation logic: Test fallback chain (self.session_id → existing_session_id → graph.session_id → "") across different input flows (Message vs. non-Message, chat-input-connected vs. standalone).
• Agent component restructuring (Invoice Summarizer.json, Price Deal Finder.json): Validate that the new unified model input with external_options correctly surfaces all necessary provider configuration fields and maintains feature parity with the prior per-provider field approach.
• Input rename consistency (llm → model): Ensure all references in node edges, display metadata, and connected workflows correctly use the new model field name.

235-310: Fix invalid isinstance usage with | unions in ChatOutput

In the embedded ChatOutput class, _validate_input uses Message | Data | DataFrame | str (and similar) directly inside isinstance. In CPython this raises TypeError: isinstance() argument 2 cannot be a union at runtime; the checks will never work.

Update the checks to pass a tuple of types instead of a union:

-        if isinstance(self.input_value, list) and not all(
-            isinstance(item, Message | Data | DataFrame | str) for item in self.input_value
-        ):
+        if isinstance(self.input_value, list) and not all(
+            isinstance(item, (Message, Data, DataFrame, str)) for item in self.input_value
+        ):
@@
-        if not isinstance(
-            self.input_value,
-            Message | Data | DataFrame | str | list | Generator | type(None),
-        ):
+        if not isinstance(
+            self.input_value,
+            (Message, Data, DataFrame, str, list, Generator, type(None)),
+        ):

Without this, any non-None input reaching _validate_input will error.

1-3612: Critical mismatch between PR objectives and file content.

The PR objectives state this change is to "fix: Serialize metadata for documents in PGVectorStoreComponent" to resolve issue #10213, but the provided file is a starter project JSON template ("Meeting Summary.json") containing ChatOutput and LanguageModelComponent component updates. There is no PGVectorStoreComponent implementation in this file.

The PR description and the code under review are misaligned. Please clarify:

1. Is this the correct file for the PGVectorStoreComponent serialization fix?
2. Should the review focus on starter project template changes instead?

561-636: Same ChatOutput isinstance union bug as in Knowledge Retrieval

This ChatOutput template is identical to the one in Knowledge Retrieval.json and has the same invalid isinstance(... Message | Data | DataFrame | str) usage. Please apply the same tuple-based fix here as well to avoid runtime TypeError.

src/backend/base/langflow/initial_setup/starter_projects/Research Translation Loop.json (2)

405-481: ChatOutput shares the same isinstance union bug

This ChatOutput definition matches the ones already reviewed and carries the same invalid isinstance union usage; please align it with the tuple-based fix described in Knowledge Retrieval.json.

424-499: ChatOutput: same isinstance union issue as other starter projects

This ChatOutput template reuses the same _validate_input implementation with Message | Data | DataFrame | str unions in isinstance. Please update to the tuple-of-types form as described in the first file so this template doesn't hit runtime TypeError.

1261-1362: LanguageModelComponent matches the already-reviewed unified implementation

The Language Model component here is the same unified implementation already reviewed and approved; keep it in sync with any fixes (e.g., if you later adjust helper signatures) applied in SEO Keyword Generator.json.

🧹 Nitpick comments (4)

src/backend/base/langflow/initial_setup/starter_projects/Hybrid Search RAG.json (2)

698-804: ChatOutput: session handling, source construction, and validation look solid

The updated ChatOutput implementation is coherent: _build_source safely extracts model identifiers, message_response preserves existing session_id when reusing a Message and falls back cleanly to component/graph IDs, and _validate_input plus convert_to_string cover the expected input shapes without obvious edge‑case breaks. One nit: _serialize_data is currently unused; either wire it into convert_to_string for Data inputs or drop it to avoid dead code.

---

2698-2925: StructuredOutputComponent: model/api_key wiring is good, but “llm” vs “model” naming may confuse the template

The Structured Output code and template correctly add an api_key field and switch to a ModelInput named model, and the Python component uses get_llm(model=self.model, ...) plus the shared update_model_options_in_build_config helper as expected.

However, in this node:

• field_order still lists "llm" instead of "model".
• The edge from LanguageModelComponent-aH5Bi to this node still targets fieldName: "llm".

That mismatch between llm (graph wiring / ordering) and model (template + code) can confuse the UI and potentially break automatic connections to the new ModelInput.

I recommend aligning the JSON metadata so everything consistently refers to model (or intentionally removing the now‑unused llm handle) and quickly validating the flow in the UI.

src/backend/base/langflow/initial_setup/starter_projects/Financial Report Parser.json (2)

152-230: ChatOutput: consistent improvements; unused serializer is minor clean‑up

This ChatOutput block mirrors the other template: message/session handling, source extraction, and input validation are coherent and should behave well across Data / DataFrame / Message inputs. As before, _serialize_data isn’t used anywhere; consider integrating it for Data inputs or removing it.

---

1092-1210: StructuredOutputComponent: API key exposure and model selection are wired correctly

The Structured Output component now exposes an api_key field and uses a ModelInput named model, with build_structured_output_base calling get_llm(model=self.model, user_id=self.user_id, api_key=self.api_key) and the build‑config helper. That aligns with the intended provider‑agnostic setup and should support both built‑in and externally connected models (via external_options).

One consistency concern (same as in the other template): the node’s field_order and the edge from LanguageModelComponent-iAML1 still reference "llm" while the template/code use "model". It would be safer to:

• Update field_order and edge fieldName to "model", or
• Explicitly drop the obsolete llm handle if you intend StructuredOutput to be configured only via model.

Please verify in the UI that the Language Model connection to Structured Output still works as expected after this rename.

src/backend/base/langflow/initial_setup/starter_projects/Invoice Summarizer.json (2)

1-1: ⚠️ Critical Scope Mismatch: PR Description vs. File Content

The PR objectives describe a fix for "PGVectorStoreComponent" metadata serialization, but this file is a starter project template with no reference to PGVectorComponent. The actual changes involve refactoring ChatOutput session handling and Agent model/provider wiring. Please confirm:

1. Is this the correct file for the PR?
2. Does the PR scope include both PGVectorStoreComponent fixes and starter project updates?
3. Should the Invoice Summarizer updates be in a separate PR?

This mismatch needs clarification before merging.

308-308: ChatOutput session_id Fallback Chaining Implementation

The ChatOutput code now preserves incoming Message session_id via fallback logic (line 383):

message.session_id = (
    self.session_id or existing_session_id or (self.graph.session_id if hasattr(self, "graph") else None) or ""
)

This aligns with the learnings about session_id preservation. Verify that the fallback order is correct: explicit input > existing message > graph session > empty string.

Also applies to: 383-383

src/backend/base/langflow/initial_setup/starter_projects/Basic Prompt Chaining.json (4)

631-631: Verify ChatOutput session_id preservation logic and implementation correctness.

The refactored message_response() method now implements a fallback chain for session_id: self.session_id → existing_session_id → graph.session_id → "". While the intent (preserving incoming Message session IDs) aligns with the summary, verify that:

1. The existing_session_id capture (line with existing_session_id = message.session_id) only occurs when the input is a Message and not connected to a chat input—this logic appears correct but confirm is_connected_to_chat_input() exists and works as expected.
2. All error cases in _validate_input() and convert_to_string() are handled properly, especially the Generator type check.
3. The _serialize_data() method correctly handles edge cases (e.g., null/empty Data objects).

Also applies to: 705-705

1261-1261: Verify LanguageModelComponent centralized helper functions exist and match the refactored code.

All three LanguageModelComponent instances now delegate to centralized helpers (get_llm, update_model_options_in_build_config, get_language_model_options) from lfx.base.models.unified_models. Confirm:

1. These helper functions exist in the codebase and have the expected signatures.
2. The get_llm() call with parameters (model, user_id, api_key, temperature, stream) is correct—verify the model parameter type and how it differs from the old provider/model_name split.
3. The update_build_config() delegation is complete and does not lose any prior functionality.
4. The import of LCModelComponent base class is correct and the inheritance is compatible.

Also applies to: 1583-1583, 1904-1904

---

753-753: Verify input field type definition changes.

The input_value field's _input_type is set to "MessageInput" (not explicitly shown in old code, assumed changed). Confirm this matches the actual component input definition and that the component's MessageInput class is compatible with the template field type.

Also applies to: 1264-1264, 1586-1586, 1907-1907

946-963: LanguageModelComponent refactor to shared helpers looks sound

The Language Model component now cleanly delegates model construction and option updates to get_llm / update_model_options_in_build_config, with ModelInput driving provider/model selection. Inputs and helper usage are consistent with the unified-models API; no issues spotted.

1-2816: Inconsistency between PR objectives and provided files.

The PR objectives state the fix addresses "Serialize metadata for documents in PGVectorStoreComponent" and resolves issue #10213 regarding JSON serialization of Properties objects. However, the provided file is a starter project template (Custom Component Generator.json) that contains changes to ChatOutput (line 2230 code_hash) and LanguageModelComponent (line 2618 code_hash), with no PGVectorStoreComponent present.

The AI-generated summary also describes updates to ChatOutput and LanguageModelComponent refactoring, not vector store metadata serialization. This suggests either:

1. The wrong files were provided for review, or
2. The PR scope includes updating starter project templates to reflect changes to these components

Please clarify: Are these starter project updates intentional as part of this PR, or should the actual PGVectorStoreComponent implementation files be provided for review?

583-583: Remove verification request for code_hash matching against src/backend/base/langflow/components/.

The code hashes in the starter project JSON files are consistent across all templates (ChatOutput: "8c87e536cca4", LanguageModel: "bb5f8714781b"), but these components are imported from the external lfx library (v0.2.0), not from src/backend/base/langflow/components/. The starter projects import ChatOutput from lfx.components.input_output and use lfx-based language model components, so these code hashes reference external component versions, not internal langflow implementations.

If verifying code synchronization is necessary, it should target the lfx library dependencies, not langflow's own component directory. Otherwise, the consistent hash values across all starter project templates are already correct.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

486-486: ChatOutput code refactoring with session_id preservation logic.

The updated implementation now preserves an incoming Message's session_id through a fallback chain (self.session_id → existing_session_id → graph.session_id → ""). The _build_source method adds logic to extract source properties (model_name or model attribute) from the source object.

While the logic appears sound, verify that:

• The session_id fallback chain aligns with the intended behavior across all starter projects
• The _build_source method handles all expected source object types without raising AttributeError
• This change is compatible with existing flows that may depend on the previous session_id assignment logic

982-982: LanguageModelComponent refactored to use unified model helper functions.

The code has been substantially refactored to delegate to centralized helpers (get_llm, update_model_options_in_build_config) instead of inline provider logic. The input definitions have changed—notably the model field is now a ModelInput (instead of separate provider/model_name), suggesting a more unified provider/model selection UI.

Key considerations:

• Ensure backward compatibility if existing flows reference the old "provider" and "model_name" fields
• Verify that get_llm and update_model_options_in_build_config are available and stable in the lfx.base.models.unified_models module
• Confirm that the removal of inline provider logic (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) doesn't break any custom or edge-case configurations

src/backend/base/langflow/initial_setup/starter_projects/Blog Writer.json (3)

476-476: Consistency check: ChatOutput changes are identical across starter projects.

The ChatOutput code_hash ("8c87e536cca4") and implementation (including session_id preservation and _build_source logic) are identical in both Document Q&A.json and Blog Writer.json. This indicates a coordinated, consistent refactor across starter projects.

Positive observation: The consistent application of the refactoring reduces the risk of divergence between starter templates.

Also applies to: 550-550

1457-1457: LanguageModelComponent refactoring is consistent across starter projects.

The LanguageModelComponent code refactoring (lines 1457 in this file, line 982 in Document Q&A.json) is identical, confirming a coordinated update across all affected starter projects. The shift to unified model selection (ModelInput, get_llm, update_model_options_in_build_config) appears intentional and widespread.

However, verify that this refactoring does not introduce breaking changes for users with existing flows that may have custom configurations or hardcoded references to the old provider/model_name structure.

1-1: The PR does include the PGVectorStoreComponent with metadata serialization implementation.

PGVectorStoreComponent is located in src/lfx/src/lfx/components/pgvector/pgvector.py (not in src/backend/base/langflow/components/). Line 40 shows the metadata serialization fix:

documents[-1].metadata = serialize(documents[-1].metadata, to_str=True)

The PR objectives are met—metadata for documents in PGVectorStoreComponent is properly serialized. The implementation follows the same pattern as other vector store components (e.g., AstraDB vectorstore).

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

405-406: Session ID preservation logic looks solid.

The ChatOutput refactor correctly chains session ID fallbacks (component input → incoming message → graph session) with a safe empty string default. The explicit preservation of existing_session_id from incoming Message objects avoids losing user-set context when reusing messages. Implementation includes proper validation and error handling.

---

1531-1532: LanguageModelComponent refactor to ModelInput is consistent and well-structured.

Both instances use the same refactored code, delegating provider/model logic to centralized get_llm() and update_model_options_in_build_config() helpers. This reduces duplication and makes the component intent clearer. Fallback inputs for provider-specific config (API keys, base URLs) are retained, ensuring backward compatibility with different LLM providers.

Also applies to: 1858-1859

---

2159-2178: StructuredOutputComponent API key exposure and ModelInput migration are appropriate.

Exposing api_key as an explicit advanced input provides flexibility for per-component API key overrides while load_from_db=true ensures good user experience. The external_options configuration in the model field correctly hints at the connection UI for linking other models. Refactor to use ModelInput and centralized helpers (get_llm, update_model_options_in_build_config) mirrors the LanguageModelComponent pattern, reducing code duplication.

Also applies to: 2222-2257

---

1-10: Clarify PR scope: file appears unrelated to stated PGVectorStoreComponent metadata serialization fix.

The PR title references fixing PGVectorStoreComponent metadata serialization (issue #10213), but this file is a starter project template for "Portfolio Website Code Generator" containing ChatOutput, LanguageModelComponent, and StructuredOutputComponent. The changes here align with the AI summary (session ID preservation, ModelInput refactoring, API key exposure) rather than PGVectorStoreComponent serialization. Verify this is intentional or confirm the correct file is under review.

1166-1472: LanguageModelComponent refactor appears correct and provider‑agnostic

The new LanguageModelComponent code that delegates to get_llm and update_model_options_in_build_config is internally consistent: inputs are defined once, build_model simply returns the unified model instance, and update_build_config defers to the shared helper with a clear cache key. I don’t see correctness or wiring issues in this block.

src/backend/base/langflow/initial_setup/starter_projects/Financial Report Parser.json (1)

769-875: LanguageModelComponent: unified model provisioning looks correct

The refactored LanguageModelComponent here is the same as in the other starter: build_model delegates to get_llm with the right parameters, and update_build_config uses update_model_options_in_build_config with a clear cache key. The inputs defined in the template match what the Python class expects.

src/backend/base/langflow/initial_setup/starter_projects/Image Sentiment Analysis.json (3)

509-509: Enhanced ChatOutput component with proper metadata serialization and session_id preservation.

The ChatOutput code has been updated to include:

• Import of jsonable_encoder from FastAPI for JSON-serializable metadata handling
• New _serialize_data() method for proper Data object serialization using orjson
• New _validate_input() method for type validation
• Session ID preservation logic that uses existing message session_id as a fallback

These changes align with the PR objective of serializing metadata properly. The fallback chaining for session_id (self.session_id or existing_session_id or ...) ensures session continuity across message transformations.

Also applies to: 583-583

1229-1229: LanguageModelComponent refactored to use centralized provider-agnostic helpers.

The component now:

• Delegates LLM instantiation to get_llm() instead of inline provider logic
• Uses update_model_options_in_build_config() for dynamic model filtering
• Replaces legacy per-provider fields with a unified ModelInput (name="model")
• Imports from lfx.base.models.unified_models for centralized configuration

This refactor reduces code duplication and improves maintainability by centralizing provider selection logic. Verify that the get_llm() function properly handles the new model parameter signature and all provider types.

Also applies to: 1230-1230, 1250-1290

---

1827-1846: StructuredOutputComponent adds API key exposure and unified model selection via ModelInput.

New additions:

• api_key field (lines 1827-1846): A SecretStrInput allowing provider-specific API key configuration (advanced, optional)
• model field (lines 1890-1926): A ModelInput with external_options providing a unified provider selection UI with "Connect other models" option

The component now mirrors LanguageModelComponent's provider-agnostic pattern. Ensure get_llm() in the component code (line 1863) correctly uses self.model (not legacy self.llm or self.agent_llm).

Also applies to: 1890-1926

src/backend/base/langflow/initial_setup/starter_projects/Price Deal Finder.json (3)

419-419: ChatOutput code consistent with Image Sentiment Analysis template.

The ChatOutput component has identical code and code_hash ("8c87e536cca4") to the Image Sentiment Analysis starter project, confirming consistent implementation across templates.

Also applies to: 495-495

---

1606-1606: Agent component refactored with provider-agnostic model selection and updated dependencies.

Changes include:

• Code hash updated to "1834a4d901fa" reflecting significant refactoring
• New dependency: langchain_core version 0.3.80 (lines 1618-1620)
• API key field display name changed from "OpenAI API Key" to generic "API Key" (line 1696)
• API key info text updated to "Model Provider API key" (line 1698)

These changes prepare the component for the new unified model provider pattern. However, verify that all internal references to legacy fields (e.g., agent_llm, OpenAI-specific configuration) have been fully replaced in the refactored code (line 1727).

Also applies to: 1616-1620, 1696-1696, 1698-1698

---

1836-1872: Agent component adds ModelInput field with external_options for provider selection.

The new model field (lines 1836-1872) provides:

• ModelInput type with model_type: "language" and refresh_button: true
• external_options enabling "Connect other models" option in the UI
• Placeholder text "Setup Provider" to guide users

This unifies the Agent's model selection interface with other components. Verify that the Agent's update_build_config() method (should be in code section at line 1727) properly filters for tool-calling-capable models when updating the model field.

Clarify scope mismatch: PGVectorStoreComponent changes vs. Document Q&A starter project updates.

The PR description states the goal is to "serialize metadata for documents in PGVectorStoreComponent," but the Document Q&A.json starter project file contains updates to ChatOutput and LanguageModelComponent components. PGVectorStoreComponent resides in a separate location (src/lfx/src/lfx/components/pgvector/pgvector.py) and is not present in this starter project template. The changes shown (code_hash and code implementations for ChatOutput and LanguageModelComponent) are unrelated to the stated PR objectives.

Confirm whether these changes are in scope for the PR or if PGVectorStoreComponent modifications are being reviewed separately.
