NAME

Exobrain::Agent::Depends - Allow agents to declare run-time dependencies

VERSION

version 1.08

SYNOPSIS

    use Moose;
    with 'Exobrain::Agent::Depends';

    sub depends { return qw(Measurement::Foo Intent::bar) }

DESCRIPTION

This role allows an agent to declare run-time dependencies. This has the following advantages:

  • It allows agents to be written which do not cause hard dependencies in their distribution. This avoids dependency bloat.

  • It allows the exobrain framework to determine if it could conceivably run an agent, allowing it not to be shown if the dependencies are not satisfied

  • It allows for all the dependencies to be pre-loaded upon agent creation, resulting in a "fail-fast" operation if goes awry.

All dependencies are currently prefixed with Exobrain::.
