Trait BroadcastAs 

pub trait BroadcastAs<V> {
    // Required method
    fn to_broadcast(&self) -> V;
}

Defines how to convert an actor’s value to its broadcast type.

A blanket implementation is provided for Clone types, broadcasting themselves. Implement this trait to broadcast a different type V from your actor type T, enabling:

• Non-Clone types to participate in broadcasting
• Clone types to broadcast a lightweight summary instead of the full value

Examples

use actify::BroadcastAs;

struct HeavyState {
    data: Vec<u8>,
    summary: String,
}

#[derive(Clone, Debug)]
struct Summary(String);

impl BroadcastAs<Summary> for HeavyState {
    fn to_broadcast(&self) -> Summary {
        Summary(self.summary.clone())
    }
}

Required Methods

fn to_broadcast(&self) -> V
