§
Actyx SDK
Actyx is a decentralized event database, streaming and processing engine that allows you to easily build local-first cooperative apps. It makes it easy to run distributed applications on multiple nodes. It is a piece of software that allows you to run your own apps on one or more edge devices and have these apps seamlessly communicate and share data with each other.
This crate defines the data types needed for communicating with Actyx and provides Rust
bindings for the Actyx APIs. It also provides serialization instances for processing the
events with differential-dataflow
under the "dataflow"
feature flag.
§Examples
Below you find a full example using the EventService
client that retrieves some events. Please adapt the queried tags to match your stored events
in order to see output.
Note: this example needs the
client
feature to compile.
use actyx_sdk::{
app_id, AppManifest, HttpClient,
service::{EventService, Order, QueryRequest, QueryResponse},
};
use futures::stream::StreamExt;
use url::Url;
#[tokio::main]
pub async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
// add your app manifest, for brevity we will use one in trial mode
let app_manifest = AppManifest::new(
app_id!("com.example.my-awesome-app"),
"display name".into(),
"0.1.0".into(),
None,
);
// Url of the locally running Actyx node
let url = Url::parse("http://localhost:4454")?;
// create client for it
let service = HttpClient::new(url, app_manifest).await?;
// all events matching the given subscription
// sorted backwards, i.e. youngest to oldest
let mut events = service
.query(QueryRequest {
lower_bound: None,
upper_bound: None,
query: "FROM 'MyFish'".parse()?,
order: Order::Desc,
})
.await?;
// print out the payload of each event
// (cf. Payload::extract for more options)
while let Some(QueryResponse::Event(event)) = events.next().await {
println!("{}", event.payload.json_value());
}
Ok(())
}
§Feature flags
The default is to provide only the data types with serialization and deserialization support
for serde
. The following features can be enabled in addition:
client
: include HTTP client bindings using thereqwest
cratedataflow
: provideAbomonation
instances for use with tools likeDifferential Dataflow
arb
: providequickcheck::Arbitrary
instances for common data types. This is useful for testing.
