Chainlit
The ability to get Thread Id when a new thread starts.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am using the SQLAlchemyDataLayer for my chainlit backend and langgraph for my agent logic. I used session_id as the id for the thread_id configuration of langgraph memory. But now I am trying to implement on_chat_resume, where session id changes when you resume a thread. The only consistent id is thread['id'] which is generated when you create a thread while sending a message at the start of the chat lifecycle and can only be currently retrieved in on_chat_resume.
Describe the solution you'd like Add a feature to get generated Thread Id when it is generated on on_message. kind of like cl.user_session.get('thread_id') to get a consistent id when you resume a session
Hey @itonskie , not sure if it solves your particular use case, but I think I have implemented something in my application that may provide a temporary solution for your problem (I am also using SQLAlchemyDataLayer):
@cl.on_chat_start
async def on_chat_start():
chainlit_thread_id = get_current_chainlit_thread_id()
# logger.info(rf"Chainlit::Chat started with thread id {chainlit_thread_id}")
with get_current_chainlit_thread_id() defined like so:
def get_current_chainlit_thread_id() -> str:
return cl.context.session.thread_id
Seems to consistently return the Chainlit-generated Thread ID as soon as the chat is started, which in my case I can then pair to an OpenAI thread (similar to what you seem to be doing with the session_id).
This complements on_chat_resume fairly well - I believe I am doing the same thing as you are there:
@cl.on_chat_resume
async def on_chat_resume(thread: ThreadDict):
chainlit_thread_id = thread.get("id")
# logger.info(rf"Chainlit::Resuming chat with thread id {chainlit_thread_id}")
Please let me know if this helped you in any way :)
