component-future

This crate implements the inner future protocol documented in the tokio docs.

Overview

If you are implementing a complicated future or stream which contains many inner futures and streams, it can be difficult to keep track of when looping is necessary, when it is safe to return NotReady, etc. This provides an interface similar to the existing poll interface for futures and streams, but extended to include additional state about how the inner future or stream affected the outer future or stream's state. This allows you to easily split your poll implementation into multiple methods, and ensure that they interact properly.

Synopsis

enum OutputEvent {
    // ...
}

struct Server {
    // ...
}

impl Server {
    fn process_thing(&self, thing: OutputEvent) {
        // ...
    }

    fn process_other_thing(&self, thing: OutputEvent) -> OutputEvent {
        // ...
    }
}

impl Server {
    const POLL_FNS:
        &'static [&'static dyn for<'a> Fn(
            &'a mut Self,
        )
            -> component_future::Poll<
            Option<OutputEvent>,
            String,
        >] = &[&Self::poll_thing, &Self::poll_other_thing];

    fn poll_thing(
        &mut self,
    ) -> component_future::Poll<Option<OutputEvent>, String> {
        let thing = component_future::try_ready!(self.some_future.poll());
        self.process_thing(thing);
        Ok(component_future::Async::DidWork)
    }

    fn poll_other_thing(
        &mut self,
    ) -> component_future::Poll<Option<OutputEvent>, String> {
        if let Some(other_future) = &mut self.other_future {
            let other_thing = component_future::try_ready!(
                other_future.poll()
            );
            let processed_thing = self.process_other_thing(other_thing);
            self.other_future.take();
            Ok(component_future::Async::Ready(Some(processed_thing)))
        }
        else {
            Ok(component_future::Async::NothingToDo)
        }
    }
}

impl futures::stream::Stream for Server {
    type Item = OutputEvent;
    type Error = String;

    fn poll(&mut self) -> futures::Poll<Option<Self::Item>, Self::Error> {
        component_future::poll_stream(self, Self::POLL_FNS)
    }
