Struct actyx_sdk::Event

pub struct Event<T> {
    pub key: EventKey,
    pub meta: Metadata,
    pub payload: T,
}

Events are delivered in this envelope together with their metadata

Metadata

Ordering and equality do not depend on the type of payload: lamport and key.stream uniquely identify the event and give rise to a total order (first by Lamport timestamp, then by stream ID;  an Actyx node   will never use the same Lamport timestamp more than once).

The contained Lamport timestamp tracks the causal order of events, which may not always be linked to or consistent with real time, especially when events were produced by devices that were not communicating for some time period. This implies that the wall clock timestamp may go backwards when consuming an ordered event stream (this would also be the case due to clock skew between devices).

Illustrative example: two groups of nodes are separated from each other for some time period, for example due to traveling through an area without network coverage. Their logical clocks may advance at different speeds because the number of events created in each group may be different. When sorting by Lamport timestamp, the events from the group with the lower event rate will tend to be sorted earlier than the events from the other group, regardless of the wall clock time at which they occurred.

It is desirable to sort by Lamport timestamps because they provide the correct (intuitive) sort order when nodes are properly communicating, which is the common case. Using device hardware clocks has proven to be quite unreliable because they may jump forward and backward due to human or machine error.

Payload

The envelope contains a generic Payload payload type, you may use the extract method to parse the payload as a more specific object.

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use actyx_sdk::{Event, Payload};

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug, Clone)]
struct MyPayload {
    x: f64,
    y: Option<f64>,
}

let payload = Payload::from_json_str(r#"{"x":1.3}"#).unwrap();

Fields

key: EventKey

Uniquely identifying event key. Used for sorting.

meta: Metadata

Metadata incl. tags, timestamp and app ID

payload: T

The actual event payload

Implementations

impl Event<Payload>

pub fn extract<'a, T>(&'a self) -> Result<Event<T>, Error> where
    T: Deserialize<'a> + Clone, 

Try to extract the given type from the generic payload and return a new event envelope if successful. The produced payload is deserialized as efficiently as possible and may therefore still reference memory owned by the Payload. You may need to .clone() it to remove this dependency.
