Refactor Emotional Processing Logic into a Dedicated Class

[sourcery-ai]

Description

The current implementation of emotional processing logic in the codebase is complex and could benefit from refactoring. It is suggested to extract this logic into a dedicated EmotionalProcessor class. This refactoring will help in reducing complexity, separating concerns, and making the code more maintainable and testable.

Proposed Solution

1. Create an EmotionalProcessor class:

   • Initialize with a language model (llm) and an EmotionalMemory instance.
   • Implement a process_emotion method to handle emotional analysis and return a JSON object with the primary emotion, intensity, valence, and context.
   • Implement a get_emotional_trend method to retrieve emotional trends from EmotionalMemory.

2. Modify BrainLayer class:

   • Initialize an instance of EmotionalProcessor in the constructor.
   • Replace existing emotional processing logic with a call to EmotionalProcessor.process_emotion.

Benefits

• Separation of Concerns: Isolating emotional processing logic into its own class will make the code easier to understand and maintain.
• Improved Testability: With a dedicated class, unit tests can be more easily written for emotional processing.
• Reduced Complexity: Simplifies the BrainLayer class by offloading emotional processing responsibilities.

Action Items

• Implement the EmotionalProcessor class as described.
• Refactor the BrainLayer class to utilize the new EmotionalProcessor.
• Ensure all existing functionality is maintained post-refactor.
• Write unit tests for the EmotionalProcessor class.

Additional Context

The proposed EmotionalProcessor class should handle exceptions gracefully and log errors appropriately, ensuring that the system remains robust even in the face of unexpected input or processing errors. The refactor should maintain all existing functionality while improving the overall code structure and maintainability.

This change is expected to enhance the codebase by making it more modular and easier to extend in the future. Please refer to the code snippet provided in the original suggestion for initial guidance on implementation.
