"""Callback Handler that writes to a file.
This handler supports both context manager usage (recommended) and direct
instantiation (deprecated) for backwards compatibility.
Examples:
Using as a context manager (recommended):
.. code-block:: python
with FileCallbackHandler("output.txt") as handler:
# Use handler with your chain/agent
chain.invoke(inputs, config={"callbacks": [handler]})
Direct instantiation (deprecated):
.. code-block:: python
handler = FileCallbackHandler("output.txt")
# File remains open until handler is garbage collected
try:
chain.invoke(inputs, config={"callbacks": [handler]})
finally:
handler.close() # Explicit cleanup recommended
Args:
filename: The file path to write to.
mode: The file open mode. Defaults to ``'a'`` (append).
color: Default color for text output. Defaults to ``None``.
Note:
When not used as a context manager, a deprecation warning will be issued
on first use. The file will be opened immediately in ``__init__`` and closed
in ``__del__`` or when ``close()`` is called explicitly.
