Struct async_broadcast::Receiver

pub struct Receiver<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

The receiving side of a channel.

Receivers can be cloned and shared among threads. When all (active) receivers associated with a channel are dropped, the channel becomes closed. You can deactivate a receiver using Receiver::deactivate if you would like the channel to remain open without keeping active receivers around.

Implementations

impl<T> Receiver<T>

pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize

Returns the channel capacity.

Examples

use async_broadcast::broadcast;

let (_s, r) = broadcast::<i32>(5);
assert_eq!(r.capacity(), 5);

pub fn set_capacity(&mut self, new_cap: usize)

Set the channel capacity.

There are times when you need to change the channel’s capacity after creating it. If the new_cap is less than the number of messages in the channel, the oldest messages will be dropped to shrink the channel.

Examples

use async_broadcast::{broadcast, TrySendError, TryRecvError};

let (s, mut r) = broadcast::<i32>(3);
assert_eq!(r.capacity(), 3);
s.try_broadcast(1).unwrap();
s.try_broadcast(2).unwrap();
s.try_broadcast(3).unwrap();

r.set_capacity(1);
assert_eq!(r.capacity(), 1);
assert_eq!(r.try_recv().unwrap(), 3);
assert_eq!(r.try_recv(), Err(TryRecvError::Empty));
s.try_broadcast(1).unwrap();
assert_eq!(s.try_broadcast(2), Err(TrySendError::Full(2)));

r.set_capacity(2);
assert_eq!(r.capacity(), 2);
s.try_broadcast(2).unwrap();
assert_eq!(s.try_broadcast(2), Err(TrySendError::Full(2)));

pub fn overflow(&self) -> bool

If overflow mode is enabled on this channel.

Examples

use async_broadcast::broadcast;

let (_s, r) = broadcast::<i32>(5);
assert!(!r.overflow());

pub fn set_overflow(&mut self, overflow: bool)

Set overflow mode on the channel.

When overflow mode is set, broadcasting to the channel will succeed even if the channel is full. It achieves that by removing the oldest message from the channel.

Examples

use async_broadcast::{broadcast, TrySendError, TryRecvError};

let (s, mut r) = broadcast::<i32>(2);
s.try_broadcast(1).unwrap();
s.try_broadcast(2).unwrap();
assert_eq!(s.try_broadcast(3), Err(TrySendError::Full(3)));
r.set_overflow(true);
assert_eq!(s.try_broadcast(3).unwrap(), Some(1));
assert_eq!(s.try_broadcast(4).unwrap(), Some(2));

assert_eq!(r.try_recv().unwrap(), 3);
assert_eq!(r.try_recv().unwrap(), 4);
assert_eq!(r.try_recv(), Err(TryRecvError::Empty));

pub fn close(&self) -> bool

Closes the channel.

Returns true if this call has closed the channel and it was not closed already.

The remaining messages can still be received.

Examples

use async_broadcast::{broadcast, RecvError};

let (s, mut r) = broadcast(1);
s.broadcast(1).await.unwrap();
assert!(s.close());

assert_eq!(r.recv().await.unwrap(), 1);
assert_eq!(r.recv().await, Err(RecvError));

pub fn is_closed(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the channel is closed.

Examples

use async_broadcast::{broadcast, RecvError};

let (s, r) = broadcast::<()>(1);
assert!(!s.is_closed());

drop(r);
assert!(s.is_closed());

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the channel is empty.

Examples

use async_broadcast::broadcast;

let (s, r) = broadcast(1);

assert!(s.is_empty());
s.broadcast(1).await;
assert!(!s.is_empty());

pub fn is_full(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the channel is full.

Examples

use async_broadcast::broadcast;

let (s, r) = broadcast(1);

assert!(!s.is_full());
s.broadcast(1).await;
assert!(s.is_full());

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of messages in the channel.

Examples

use async_broadcast::broadcast;

let (s, r) = broadcast(2);
assert_eq!(s.len(), 0);

s.broadcast(1).await;
s.broadcast(2).await;
assert_eq!(s.len(), 2);

pub fn receiver_count(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of receivers for the channel.

This does not include inactive receivers. Use Receiver::inactive_receiver_count if you are interested in that.

Examples

use async_broadcast::broadcast;

let (s, r) = broadcast::<()>(1);
assert_eq!(s.receiver_count(), 1);
let r = r.deactivate();
assert_eq!(s.receiver_count(), 0);

let r2 = r.activate_cloned();
assert_eq!(r.receiver_count(), 1);
assert_eq!(r.inactive_receiver_count(), 1);

pub fn inactive_receiver_count(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of inactive receivers for the channel.

Examples

use async_broadcast::broadcast;

let (s, r) = broadcast::<()>(1);
assert_eq!(s.receiver_count(), 1);
let r = r.deactivate();
assert_eq!(s.receiver_count(), 0);

let r2 = r.activate_cloned();
assert_eq!(r.receiver_count(), 1);
assert_eq!(r.inactive_receiver_count(), 1);

pub fn sender_count(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of senders for the channel.

Examples

use async_broadcast::broadcast;

let (s, r) = broadcast::<()>(1);
assert_eq!(s.sender_count(), 1);

let s2 = s.clone();
assert_eq!(s.sender_count(), 2);

pub fn deactivate(self) -> InactiveReceiver<T>

Downgrade to a InactiveReceiver.

An inactive receiver is one that can not and does not receive any messages. Its only purpose is keep the associated channel open even when there are no (active) receivers. An inactive receiver can be upgraded into a Receiver using InactiveReceiver::activate or InactiveReceiver::activate_cloned.

Sender::try_broadcast will return TrySendError::Inactive if only inactive receivers exists for the associated channel and Sender::broadcast will wait until an active receiver is available.

Examples

use async_broadcast::{broadcast, TrySendError};

let (s, r) = broadcast(1);
let inactive = r.deactivate();
assert_eq!(s.try_broadcast(10), Err(TrySendError::Inactive(10)));

let mut r = inactive.activate();
assert_eq!(s.broadcast(10).await, Ok(None));
assert_eq!(r.recv().await, Ok(10));

impl<T: Clone> Receiver<T>

pub fn recv(&mut self) -> Recv<'_, T>

Receives a message from the channel.

If the channel is empty, this method waits until there is a message.

If the channel is closed, this method receives a message or returns an error if there are no more messages.

Examples

use async_broadcast::{broadcast, RecvError};

let (s, mut r1) = broadcast(1);
let mut r2 = r1.clone();

assert_eq!(s.broadcast(1).await, Ok(None));
drop(s);

assert_eq!(r1.recv().await, Ok(1));
assert_eq!(r1.recv().await, Err(RecvError));
assert_eq!(r2.recv().await, Ok(1));
assert_eq!(r2.recv().await, Err(RecvError));

pub fn try_recv(&mut self) -> Result<T, TryRecvError>

Attempts to receive a message from the channel.

If the channel is empty or closed, this method returns an error.

Examples

use async_broadcast::{broadcast, TryRecvError};

let (s, mut r1) = broadcast(1);
let mut r2 = r1.clone();
assert_eq!(s.broadcast(1).await, Ok(None));

assert_eq!(r1.try_recv(), Ok(1));
assert_eq!(r1.try_recv(), Err(TryRecvError::Empty));
assert_eq!(r2.try_recv(), Ok(1));
assert_eq!(r2.try_recv(), Err(TryRecvError::Empty));

drop(s);
assert_eq!(r1.try_recv(), Err(TryRecvError::Closed));
assert_eq!(r2.try_recv(), Err(TryRecvError::Closed));
