Struct Lazy 

pub struct Lazy<T, Fut = Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = T> + Send>>, F = fn() -> Fut> { /* private fields */ }

A value that is initialized on the first access. The initialization procedure is allowed to be asycnhronous, so access to the value requires an await.

Example

use std::time::Duration;
use async_lazy::Lazy;

async fn some_computation() -> u32 {
    tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
    1 + 1
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let lazy : Lazy<u32> = Lazy::new(|| Box::pin(async { some_computation().await }));

    let result = tokio::spawn(async move {
        *lazy.force().await
    }).await.unwrap();

    assert_eq!(result, 2);
}

Implementations

impl<T, Fut, F> Lazy<T, Fut, F>

pub const fn new(init: F) -> Self

Creates a new Lazy instance with the given initializing async function.

Equivalent to Lazy::new, except that it can be used in static variables.

Example

use std::time::Duration;
use async_lazy::Lazy;

async fn some_computation() -> u32 {
    tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
    1 + 1
}

static LAZY: Lazy<u32> = Lazy::new(|| Box::pin(async { some_computation().await }));

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let result = tokio::spawn(async {
        *LAZY.force().await
    }).await.unwrap();

    assert_eq!(result, 2);
}

pub fn get(&self) -> Option<&T>

Gets a reference to the result of this lazy value if it was initialized, otherwise returns None.

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T>

Gets a mutable reference to the result of this lazy value if it was initialized, otherwise returns None.

pub fn get_pin(self: Pin<&Self>) -> Option<Pin<&T>>

Gets a pinned reference to the result of this lazy value if it was initialized, otherwise returns None.

pub fn get_pin_mut(self: Pin<&mut Self>) -> Option<Pin<&mut T>>

Gets a pinned mutable reference to the result of this lazy value if it was initialized, otherwise returns None.

impl<T, Fut, F> Lazy<T, Fut, F>

where Fut: Future<Output = T> + Unpin, F: FnOnce() -> Fut,

pub async fn force(&self) -> &T

Forces the evaluation of this lazy value and returns a reference to the result.

If the caller of force is cancelled, the state of initialization is preserved; the next call to force starts polling the initializing future again where the last left off.

Panics

If the initialization function panics, the Lazy is poisoned and all subsequent calls to this function will panic.

pub async fn force_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T

Forces the evaluation of this lazy value and returns a mutable reference to the result.

Panics

If the initialization function panics, the Lazy is poisoned and all subsequent calls to this function will panic.

impl<T, Fut, F> Lazy<T, Fut, F>

where Fut: Future<Output = T>, F: FnOnce() -> Fut,

pub async fn force_pin(self: Pin<&Self>) -> Pin<&T>

Forces the evaluation of this lazy value and returns a reference to the result.

Panics

If the initialization function panics, the Lazy is poisoned and all subsequent calls to this function will panic.

pub async fn force_pin_mut(self: Pin<&mut Self>) -> Pin<&mut T>

Forces the evaluation of this lazy value and returns a mutable reference to the result.

Panics

If the initialization function panics, the Lazy is poisoned and all subsequent calls to this function will panic.
