FrostReactor Reactor

The FrostReactor is a base component for Frost actors that need to communicate over the FrostBus. It extends the FrostInterface and provides the essential logic for a reactor to initialize itself and establish a connection with the bus at startup.

Core Functionalities

• Automatic Bus Connection: The primary feature of FrostReactor is its automatic connection to the FrostBus. At startup, it triggers a logical action connect_to_bus, which is handled by the parent FrostInterface to begin the registration process.
• Initialization Logging: It logs an informational message upon initialization, which is helpful for debugging and tracking the lifecycle of reactors.

Code Snippet

This reaction is triggered at startup and is responsible for initiating the connection to the FrostBus.

reaction (startup) -> connect_to_bus {=
    '''Initialize the reactor and trigger connection to the FrostBus.'''
    self.logger.info(f"Initializing FrostReactor: {self._get_reactor_name()}")

    # Trigger the connection to the bus.
    connect_to_bus.schedule(0)
