# rag-mongo

This template performs RAG using MongoDB and OpenAI.

## Environment Setup

You should export two environment variables, one being your MongoDB URI, the other being your OpenAI API KEY.
If you do not have a MongoDB URI, see the `Setup Mongo` section at the bottom for instructions on how to do so.

```shell
export MONGO_URI=...
export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
```

## Usage

To use this package, you should first have the LangChain CLI installed:

```shell
pip install -U langchain-cli
```

To create a new LangChain project and install this as the only package, you can do:

```shell
langchain app new my-app --package rag-mongo
```

If you want to add this to an existing project, you can just run:

```shell
langchain app add rag-mongo
```

And add the following code to your `server.py` file:
```python
from rag_mongo import chain as rag_mongo_chain

add_routes(app, rag_mongo_chain, path="/rag-mongo")
```

If you want to set up an ingestion pipeline, you can add the following code to your `server.py` file:
```python
from rag_mongo import ingest as rag_mongo_ingest

add_routes(app, rag_mongo_ingest, path="/rag-mongo-ingest")
```

(Optional) Let's now configure LangSmith. 
LangSmith will help us trace, monitor and debug LangChain applications. 
You can sign up for LangSmith [here](https://smith.langchain.com/). 
If you don't have access, you can skip this section


```shell
export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true
export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
export LANGCHAIN_PROJECT=<your-project>  # if not specified, defaults to "default"
```

If you DO NOT already have a Mongo Search Index you want to connect to, see `MongoDB Setup` section below before proceeding.

If you DO have a MongoDB Search index you want to connect to, edit the connection details in `rag_mongo/chain.py`

If you are inside this directory, then you can spin up a LangServe instance directly by:

```shell
langchain serve
```

This will start the FastAPI app with a server is running locally at 
[http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)

We can see all templates at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs](http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs)
We can access the playground at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/rag-mongo/playground](http://127.0.0.1:8000/rag-mongo/playground)  

We can access the template from code with:

```python
from langserve.client import RemoteRunnable

runnable = RemoteRunnable("http://localhost:8000/rag-mongo")
```

## MongoDB Setup

Use this step if you need to setup your MongoDB account and ingest data.
We will first follow the standard MongoDB Atlas setup instructions [here](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/getting-started/).

1. Create an account (if not already done)
2. Create a new project (if not already done)
3. Locate your MongoDB URI.

This can be done by going to the deployment overview page and connecting to you database

We then look at the drivers available

![Screenshot showing the MongoDB Atlas drivers section for connecting to the database.](_images/driver.png "MongoDB Atlas Drivers Section")

Among which we will see our URI listed

![Screenshot displaying an example of a MongoDB URI in the connection instructions.](_images/uri.png "MongoDB URI Example")

Let's then set that as an environment variable locally:

```shell
export MONGO_URI=...
```

4. Let's also set an environment variable for OpenAI (which we will use as an LLM)

```shell
export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
```

5. Let's now ingest some data! We can do that by moving into this directory and running the code in `ingest.py`, eg:

```shell
python ingest.py
```

Note that you can (and should!) change this to ingest data of your choice

6. We now need to set up a vector index on our data.

We can first connect to the cluster where our database lives

![Screenshot of the MongoDB Atlas interface showing the cluster overview with a 'Connect' button.](_images/cluster.png "MongoDB Atlas Cluster Overview")

We can then navigate to where all our collections are listed

![Screenshot of the MongoDB Atlas interface showing the collections overview within a database.](_images/collections.png "MongoDB Atlas Collections Overview")

We can then find the collection we want and look at the search indexes for that collection

![Screenshot showing the search indexes section in MongoDB Atlas for a specific collection.](_images/search-indexes.png "MongoDB Atlas Search Indexes")

That should likely be empty, and we want to create a new one:

![Screenshot highlighting the 'Create Index' button in MongoDB Atlas.](_images/create.png "MongoDB Atlas Create Index Button")

We will use the JSON editor to create it

![Screenshot showing the JSON Editor option for creating a search index in MongoDB Atlas.](_images/json_editor.png "MongoDB Atlas JSON Editor Option")

And we will paste the following JSON in:

```text
 {
   "mappings": {
     "dynamic": true,
     "fields": {
       "embedding": {
         "dimensions": 1536,
         "similarity": "cosine",
         "type": "knnVector"
       }
     }
   }
 }
```

From there, hit "Next" and then "Create Search Index". It will take a little bit but you should then have an index over your data!
