Crate acton_reactive 

Acton Reactive

This crate provides the foundational components for the Acton asynchronous actor system, built on top of Tokio. It establishes a robust, message-passing framework with clear separation of concerns for actor state, runtime management, communication, and lifecycle.

Key Concepts

• Actors (ManagedActor): Core computational units wrapping user-defined state and logic, managed by the runtime.
• Handles (ActorHandle): External references for interacting with actors (sending messages, stopping, supervising).
• Messaging: Asynchronous communication via Tokio MPSC channels, using messages implementing the ActonMessage trait.
• Broker (Broker): Central publish-subscribe mechanism for topic-based message distribution.
• Lifecycle & Supervision: Type-state pattern (Idle, Started) for actors, lifecycle hooks, and hierarchical supervision.
• Runtime (ActorRuntime): Manages the overall system, including actor creation and shutdown.
• Traits: Core interfaces (ActorHandleInterface, Broker, Subscriber, etc.) define the framework’s capabilities.

Quick Start
