Function minus::tokio_updating

pub async fn tokio_updating(mutex: Lines)

Run the pager inside a tokio task

This function is only available when tokio_lib feature is enabled It takes a Lines and updates the page with new information when Lines is updated

This function switches to the Alternate Screen of the TTY and switches to raw mode

Example

use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};
use futures::join;
use std::fmt::Write;
use std::time::Duration;
use tokio::time::sleep;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let output = Arc::new(Mutex::new(String::new()));
    let push_data = async {
        for i in 1..=100 {
            let mut guard = output.lock().unwrap();
            // Always use writeln to add a \n after the line
            writeln!(guard, "{}", i);
            // If you have furthur asynchronous blocking code, drop the borrow here
            drop(guard);
            // Some asynchronous blocking code
            sleep(Duration::new(1,0)).await;
        }
   };
   join!(minus::tokio_updating(output.clone()), push_data);
}

Please do note that you should never lock the output data, since this will cause the paging thread to be paused. Only borrow it when it is required and drop it if you have furthur asynchronous blocking code
