The Agent class represents an agent in the mads system.

The Agent class represents an agent in the mads system.An agent is an entity that can send and receive messages through ZeroMQ sockets. It is responsible for loading settings, connecting to the appropriate endpoints, and publishing and receiving messages.

// suppose that you have the derived class MyAgent // Create a MyAgent object with the name "myagent" and the settings file MyAgent myagent("myagent", "settings.ini"); myagent.init(); // may throw an error is ini file has errors // either of the two or bothMyAgent: myagent.connect_pub(); myagent.connect_sub(); // get info about the myagent myagent.info(); // Start a main loop with a lambda function: myagent.loop([&]() { // receive a message myagent.receive(); // get the last message received myagent.last_message(); // get the status of the myagent agent, i.e. a map of all last messages by // topics auto status = myagent.status(); string msg = status["topic1"]; // publish a message myagent.publish(json_object.dump()); });

Base class for all agents. This class is used to define the basic
functionalities provided by all agents. Each agent subclass must implement the
pure virtual functions defined in this class (currently none)
