DESCRIPTION

This role is used to apply send policies to Bot::Backbone::Service::Role::Chat, Bot::Backbone::Service::Role::ChatConsumer, and Bot::Backbone::Service::Role::Dispatch services. If you have a service that is none of those, but would like to have a send policy applied to anything it may send to a chat, you may define a send_message method and then apply this role.

ATTRIBUTES

send_policy_name

This is the name of the send policy to apply to this service. It is set using the send_policy setting in the service configuration. It will be used to set "send_policy", if any policy is set.

send_policy

This is the Bot::Backbone::SendPolicy that has been selected for this service.

REQUIRED METHODS

send_message

This role requires a send_mesage method be present that works just the same as the one required in Bot::Backbone::Service::Role::Chat. This role will modify that method to apply the "send_policy" to calls to that method.
