pub trait RemoteActor: Actor + Handler<RemoteMessage> { }Expand description
A marker trait for actors which can be reached over IPC.
To make an actor reachable over IPC, the user should implement the Handler<RemoteMessage>
trait for an actor to define how it processes inbound remote messages, and then register the
actor’s address in the Node’s RemoteActorRegistry via the
with_actor method or the
AddActor command.
It is highly recommended to use the #[acktor_ipc::remote] attribute macro
to annotate the impl Actor for MyActor { ... } block of a remote actor. The macro overrides
the Actor::type_erased_recipient_fn hook, which will opt-in the
type-erased-recipient-hook feature, and allow conversion from any Reciepient type of this
actor to a Recipient<RemoteMessage>. With the help of this hook, the actor’s address can be
registered in the Node’s RemoteActorRegistry automatically. This is more
convenient than registering the actor manually.
Dyn Compatibility§
This trait is not dyn compatible.
In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
