pub struct Sender<T> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

The sending side of a channel.

Senders can be cloned and shared among threads. When all senders associated with a channel are dropped, the channel becomes closed.

The channel can also be closed manually by calling Sender::close().

Implementations

Attempts to send a message into the channel.

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

Examples
use async_channel::{bounded, TrySendError};

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

assert_eq!(s.try_send(1), Ok(()));
assert_eq!(s.try_send(2), Err(TrySendError::Full(2)));

drop(r);
assert_eq!(s.try_send(3), Err(TrySendError::Closed(3)));

Sends a message into the channel.

If the channel is full, this method waits until there is space for a message.

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

Examples
use async_channel::{unbounded, SendError};

let (s, r) = unbounded();

assert_eq!(s.send(1).await, Ok(()));
drop(r);
assert_eq!(s.send(2).await, Err(SendError(2)));

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_channel::{unbounded, RecvError};

let (s, r) = unbounded();
assert_eq!(s.send(1).await, Ok(()));
assert!(s.close());

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

Returns true if the channel is closed.

Examples
use async_channel::{unbounded, RecvError};

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

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

Returns true if the channel is empty.

Examples
use async_channel::unbounded;

let (s, r) = unbounded();

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

Returns true if the channel is full.

Unbounded channels are never full.

Examples
use async_channel::bounded;

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

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

Returns the number of messages in the channel.

Examples
use async_channel::unbounded;

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

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

Returns the channel capacity if it’s bounded.

Examples
use async_channel::{bounded, unbounded};

let (s, r) = bounded::<i32>(5);
assert_eq!(s.capacity(), Some(5));

let (s, r) = unbounded::<i32>();
assert_eq!(s.capacity(), None);

Returns the number of receivers for the channel.

Examples
use async_channel::unbounded;

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

let r2 = r.clone();
assert_eq!(s.receiver_count(), 2);

Returns the number of senders for the channel.

Examples
use async_channel::unbounded;

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

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