@acentric/types

The types an acentric agent is made of. Types only: nothing here runs.

import type { Agent, HandlersFor, KindsOf } from '@acentric/types';

| Part | Types | | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Data | Json, JsonObject, JsonArray: everything an agent keeps and exchanges | | State | State, LogEntry, LogWindow: the snapshot, the log and the config a step sees | | Messages | Message: an input, an effect result, a config change or migrated | | Effects | EffectRequest, Kinds, Mode: the I/O an agent asks for, by kind | | Handlers | HandlerDef, HandlerContext, HandlersFor, KindsOf: the code that does that I/O | | Agent | Agent, with Init, Step, Effects, View, Window and Migrate | | Journal | JournalEntry: what a session received, for replaying it |

An agent's pure half (init, step, effects, view, window, migrate) decides; its handlers do the I/O. A runner connects them, following the runner specification. The docs explain each part, starting with How an agent works.
