# `IOEVENT`
[](https://github.com/BERADQ/ioevent/blob/main/LICENSE)


[](https://docs.rs/ioevent/latest/ioevent)
A lightweight Rust crate for building event-driven applications on top of Tokio's async I/O streams with low overhead. Facilitates decoupled architectures, suitable for inter-process communication or modular designs.
## Features
- **Event-driven Architecture**: Transforms async I/O operations into unified event streams
- **Tokio Integration**: Built upon and integrates seamlessly with Tokio's async runtime
- **Extensibility**: Supports custom event types and dynamic handler registration
- **Bi-directional Communication**: Enables event emission and response handling through Procedure Calls
## Quick Examples
See full working examples in the [`examples`](https://github.com/BERADQ/ioevent/blob/main/examples) directory.
### Define Events
```rust
#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize, Debug, Event)]
pub struct Ping {
pub timestamp: i64,
}
// Custom event tag
#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize, Debug, Event)]
#[event(tag = "com::demo::my::Event")]
pub struct CustomEvent(pub String, pub i64);
```
### Create Subscribers
```rust
#[subscriber]
async fn handle_ping(state: State<AppState>, event: Ping) -> Result {
state.wright.emit(&Pong { timestamp: event.timestamp })?;
Ok(())
}
static SUBSCRIBERS: &[Subscriber<AppState>] = &[create_subscriber!(handle_ping)];
```
### Build and Run
```rust
// Build the event bus
let subscribers = Subscribers::init(SUBSCRIBERS);
let mut builder = BusBuilder::new(subscribers);
builder.add_pair(IoPair::stdio());
let (bus, effect_wright) = builder.build();
// Run the bus
let state = State::new(AppState {}, effect_wright);
## Procedure Call (RPC)
See the complete RPC example in [`examples/rpc`](https://github.com/BERADQ/ioevent/blob/main/examples/rpc).
### Define Procedures
```rust
// Custom the path
#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize, Debug, ProcedureCall)]
#[procedure(path = "com::demo::my::CallPrint")]
pub struct CallPrint(pub String);
impl ProcedureCallRequest for CallPrint {
type RESPONSE = CallPrintResponse;
}
#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize, Debug, ProcedureCall)]
pub struct CallPrintResponse(pub u64);
impl ProcedureCallResponse for CallPrintResponse {}
```
### Handle Procedures
```rust
#[procedure]
async fn print_handler(request: CallPrint) -> Result {
println!("Message: {}", request.0);
Ok(CallPrintResponse(42))
}
```
### Make Calls
```rust
let response = state.call(&CallPrint("Hello".to_string())).await?;
// ^ CallPrintResponse
```
