An adapter for dispatching signals directly to Erlang processes using PIDs.

This adapter implements the Jido.Signal.Dispatch.Adapter behaviour and provides functionality to send signals to specific processes either synchronously or asynchronously.

Configuration Options

• :target - (required) The PID of the destination process
• :delivery_mode - (optional) Either :sync or :async, defaults to :async
• :timeout - (optional) Timeout for synchronous delivery in milliseconds, defaults to 5000
• :message_format - (optional) Function to format the signal before sending, defaults to wrapping in {:signal, signal}

Delivery Modes

• :async - Uses send/2 to deliver the signal without waiting for a response
• :sync - Uses GenServer.call/3 to deliver the signal and wait for a response

Examples

# Asynchronous delivery
config = {:pid, [
  target: destination_pid,
  delivery_mode: :async
]}

# Synchronous delivery with custom timeout
config = {:pid, [
  target: destination_pid,
  delivery_mode: :sync,
  timeout: 10_000
]}

# Custom message format
config = {:pid, [
  target: destination_pid,
  message_format: fn signal -> {:custom_signal, signal} end
]}

Error Handling

The adapter handles various error conditions:

• :process_not_alive - The target process is not alive
• :timeout - Synchronous delivery timed out
• Other errors from the target process
