Crate acril

Acril - a kitchen-sink Rust actor framework

Acril was created to be a building block for fast, composable, compatible, and correct microservices and actors.

It’s minimal by default, but includes most of the basic utilities for building a robust web application, a type-safe SDK for a REST API, and any other purpose for which you find those utilities useful.

The actor pattern is a very powerful coding style, involving independent “actors”, which can receive messages and respond to them. Using the pattern lets you define concrete boundaries, where responsibilities of one system end, and the responsibilities of another begin.

You have full control over how your actor runs, how it runs, and when it ends.

Features

This library includes:

• A HTTP client, with traits (and proc-macros to implement those traits) accompanying it, for easy development of SDKs for REST APIs; we use it in our Alpaca Rust SDK.
• A WebSockets layer to allow actors to handle messages.

Modules

• prelude
  use acril::prelude::*; to import commonly used types and traits.

Structs

• Builder
  A builder for services, allowing users to declaratively construct a service by adding Layers on top.
• Identity
  A layer which returns the given service as-is.
• Stack
  Stack the layer B on top of A.

Traits

• Handler
  This trait includes the most important method of this library - call.
• Layer
  A layer is some type which returns a service (Layer::Service) which wraps the given service (S)
• Service
  This trait is a marker trait for any actor, setting the context and error types.
