Crate async_socket

This crate implements a general-purpose asynchronous socket.

The Socket implements AsyncRead, AsyncWrite, Stream and Clone traits and thus mimics the functionality and the behaviour of the TcpStream and UnixStream objects. These propertis makes it a perfect tool for testing network activities and events.

Usage

Example:

use async_socket::Socket;
use async_std::task::spawn;
use futures::io::AsyncWriteExt;
use futures::stream::StreamExt;
 
async fn example() {
    let mut stream = Socket::default();
    let mut writer = stream.clone();
 
    spawn(async move {
        writer.write(b"Hello").await.unwrap();
    });
 
    while let Some(bytes) = stream.next().await {
        // ...
    }
}

Structs

Socket

The asynchronous socket that mimics the network stream.

State

A central shared state of the socket where all socket data are stored.
