Constructor Details

#initialize(boxcars:, prompt:, engine: nil, **kwargs) ⇒ Train

This method is abstract.

A Train will use a engine to run a series of boxcars.

Parameters:

  • boxcars (Array<Boxcars::Boxcar>) —

    The boxcars to run.

  • prompt (Boxcars::Prompt) —

    The prompt to use.

  • engine (Boxcars::Engine) (defaults to: nil) —

    The engine to use for this train.

  • kwargs (Hash) —

    Additional arguments including: name, description, top_k, return_direct, and stop
