Engine Managers

To give more power to the developer, the engine do not assume or force what to use.

The engine has default manager implementations which are:

1. Session manager -> implements ISessionManager
2. Storage Manager -> implements IStorageManager
3. Logger -> implements PywceLogger

As the name suggests, this handles all chatbot session or cache. The instance is available on HookArg object which you can access in any hook.

You can manage each user specific data any way you want.
