Expand description
Hannibal is a rust actors framework based on async-std
Documentation
- GitHub repository
- Cargo package
- Minimum supported Rust version: 1.56 or later
Features
- Async actors.
- Actor communication in a local context.
- Using Futures for asynchronous message handling.
- Typed messages (No
Any
type). Generic messages are allowed.
Examples
use hannibal::*;
#[message(result = "String")]
struct ToUppercase(String);
struct MyActor;
impl Actor for MyActor {}
#[async_trait::async_trait]
impl Handler<ToUppercase> for MyActor {
async fn handle(&mut self, _ctx: &mut Context<Self>, msg: ToUppercase) -> String {
msg.0.to_uppercase()
}
}
#[hannibal::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
// Start actor and get its address
let mut addr = MyActor.start().await?;
// Send message `ToUppercase` to actor via addr
let res = addr.call(ToUppercase("lowercase".to_string())).await?;
assert_eq!(res, "LOWERCASE");
Ok(())
}

Structs
The address of an actor.
Message broker is used to support publishing and subscribing to messages.
Caller of a specific message type
An actor execution context.
Sender of a specific message type
Actor supervisor
Traits
Actors are objects which encapsulate state and behavior.
Actors run within a specific execution context Context<A>
.
The context object is available only during execution.
Each actor has a separate execution context.
Describes how to handle messages of a specific type.
Implementing Handler is a general way to handle incoming messages.
The type T
is a message which can be handled by the actor.
Trait define a local service.
Trait define a global service.
Describes how to handle messages of a specific type.
Implementing Handler is a general way to handle incoming streams.
The type T is a stream message which can be handled by the actor.
Stream messages do not need to implement the Message
trait.
Functions
