linkk

About:

This crate provides a simple way to make a set of channels and criss-cross them. This pattern is useful for getting things that are hard to get talking to each other to communicate.

Conceptually, it can be thought of as making a bridge, and it can be used to send any type of data across the channels.

There's almost certainly a nicer way of doing this... but, I dunno what that is.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]

linkk = "0.1.0"

Usage:

Here is an example of how to use this crate:

use linkk::link;

let (link1, link2) = link!(pub, A_2_B<u32>, B_2_A<u64>); // The tx/rx pairs needen't be the same type.

// link2 receives from link1
link1.send(42).unwrap();
assert_eq!(link2.recv().unwrap(), 42u32);

// link1 receives from link2
link2.tx.send(43 as u64).unwrap();
assert_eq!(link1.rx.recv().unwrap(), 43);
