# Module/Class Name: StepInput The `StepInput` class is used to define the input parameters for the task step. It is a part of the `BaseModel` and accepts any value. This documentation will provide an overview of the class, its functionality, and usage examples. ## Overview and Introduction The `StepInput` class is an integral part of the `swarms.structs` library, allowing users to define and pass input parameters for a specific task step. This class provides flexibility by accepting any value, allowing the user to customize the input parameters according to their requirements. ## Class Definition The `StepInput` class is defined as follows: ```python class StepInput(BaseModel): __root__: Any = Field( ..., description=("Input parameters for the task step. Any value is" " allowed."), example='{\n"file_to_refactor": "models.py"\n}', ) ``` The `StepInput` class extends the `BaseModel` and contains a single field `__root__` of type `Any` with a description of accepting input parameters for the task step. ## Functionality and Usage The `StepInput` class is designed to accept any input value, providing flexibility and customization for task-specific parameters. Upon creating an instance of `StepInput`, the user can define and pass input parameters as per their requirements. ### Usage Example 1: ```python from swarms.structs import StepInput input_params = {"file_to_refactor": "models.py", "refactor_method": "code"} step_input = StepInput(__root__=input_params) ``` In this example, we import the `StepInput` class from the `swarms.structs` library and create an instance `step_input` by passing a dictionary of input parameters. The `StepInput` class allows any value to be passed, providing flexibility for customization. ### Usage Example 2: ```python from swarms.structs import StepInput input_params = {"input_path": "data.csv", "output_path": "result.csv"} step_input = StepInput(__root__=input_params) ``` In this example, we again create an instance of `StepInput` by passing a dictionary of input parameters. The `StepInput` class does not restrict the type of input, allowing users to define parameters based on their specific task requirements. ### Usage Example 3: ```python from swarms.structs import StepInput file_path = "config.json" with open(file_path) as f: input_data = json.load(f) step_input = StepInput(__root__=input_data) ``` In this example, we read input parameters from a JSON file and create an instance of `StepInput` by passing the loaded JSON data. The `StepInput` class seamlessly accepts input data from various sources, providing versatility to the user. ## Additional Information and Tips When using the `StepInput` class, ensure that the input parameters are well-defined and align with the requirements of the task step. When passing complex data structures, such as nested dictionaries or JSON objects, ensure that the structure is valid and well-formed. ## References and Resources - For further information on the `BaseModel` and `Field` classes, refer to the Pydantic documentation: [Pydantic Documentation](https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/) The `StepInput` class within the `swarms.structs` library is a versatile and essential component for defining task-specific input parameters. Its flexibility in accepting any value and seamless integration with diverse data sources make it a valuable asset for customizing input parameters for task steps.
