NAME

Langertha::Knarr::Handler - Role for Knarr backend handlers (Raider, Engine, Code, ...)

VERSION

version 1.100

SYNOPSIS

package My::Handler;
use Moose;
use Future;
with 'Langertha::Knarr::Handler';

sub handle_chat_f {
    my ($self, $session, $request) = @_;
    return Future->done(
        Langertha::Knarr::Response->new( content => 'hello', model => 'my-model' )
    );
}

sub list_models { [ { id => 'my-model', object => 'model' } ] }

1;

DESCRIPTION

The role every Knarr backend handler must consume. A handler is the "what answers the request" half of Knarr — it receives a normalized Langertha::Knarr::Request and returns either a sync result hash via "handle_chat_f" or an async chunk iterator via "handle_stream_f".

Knarr ships with concrete handlers for the common cases:

Decorators (Tracing, RequestLog) wrap an inner handler and themselves consume this role, so they compose freely.

handle_chat_f

my $future = $handler->handle_chat_f($session, $request);

Required. Returns a Future that resolves to a Langertha::Knarr::Response. Plain strings, { content => ..., model => ... } hashrefs, and Langertha::Response objects are all accepted and coerced automatically by "coerce" in Langertha::Knarr::Response at the protocol boundary.

handle_stream_f

my $stream = await $handler->handle_stream_f($session, $request);

Default implementation calls "handle_chat_f" and emits the result as a single-chunk stream. Native streamers should override and return a Langertha::Knarr::Stream whose next_chunk_f yields chunk strings.

list_models

my $models = $handler->list_models;

Required. Returns an arrayref of model descriptors as hashes with at least an id key.
