Observers

On this page

    Observers are an optional element in Comunica's core architecture. They allow you to listen to all actions on a bus, without modifying the action's input or output.

    Observers (ActionObserver) require a bus parameter, which should be supplied in the config file. Your observer implementation must override the following onRun method:

    interface ActionObserver {
  onRun(
    actor: Actor<IAction, IActorTest, IActorOutput>,
    action: IAction,
    output: Promise<IActorOutput>,
  ): void;
}

    This method allows you to see the handling actor, the executed action, and a promise to the action output.
