Big docs refactor! Motivation is to make it easier for people to find
resources they are looking for. To accomplish this, there are now three
main sections:

- Getting Started: steps for getting started, walking through most core
functionality
- Modules: these are different modules of functionality that langchain
provides. Each part here has a "getting started", "how to", "key
concepts" and "reference" section (except in a few select cases where it
didnt easily fit).
- Use Cases: this is to separate use cases (like summarization, question
answering, evaluation, etc) from the modules, and provide a different
entry point to the code base.

There is also a full reference section, as well as extra resources
(glossary, gallery, etc)

Create a custom example selector

In this tutorial, we'll create a custom example selector that selects examples every alternate example given a list of examples.

An ExampleSelector must implement two methods:

An add_example method which takes in an example and adds it into the ExampleSelector
A select_examples method which takes in input variables (which are meant to be user input) and returns a list of examples to use in the few shot prompt.

Let's implement a custom ExampleSelector that just selects two examples at random.

:::{note} Take a look at the current set of example selector implementations supported in LangChain here. :::

Implement custom example selector

from langchain.prompts.example_selector.base import BaseExampleSelector
from typing import Dict, List
import numpy as np


class CustomExampleSelector(BaseExampleSelector):
    
    def __init__(self, examples: List[Dict[str, str]]):
        self.examples = examples
    
    def add_example(self, example: Dict[str, str]) -> None:
        """Add new example to store for a key."""
        self.examples.append(example)

    def select_examples(self, input_variables: Dict[str, str]) -> List[dict]:
        """Select which examples to use based on the inputs."""
        return np.random.choice(self.examples, size=2, replace=False)

Use custom example selector


examples = [
    {"foo": "1"},
    {"foo": "2"},
    {"foo": "3"}
]

# Initialize example selector.
example_selector = CustomExampleSelector(examples)


# Select examples
example_selector.select_examples({"foo": "foo"})
# -> array([{'foo': '2'}, {'foo': '3'}], dtype=object)

# Add new example to the set of examples
example_selector.add_example({"foo": "4"})
example_selector.examples
# -> [{'foo': '1'}, {'foo': '2'}, {'foo': '3'}, {'foo': '4'}]

# Select examples
example_selector.select_examples({"foo": "foo"})
# -> array([{'foo': '1'}, {'foo': '4'}], dtype=object)
