pharos 0.5.2

Observer pattern which generates a futures 0.3 stream of events
Documentation
use crate :: { import::* };

/// Predicate for filtering events.
///
/// This is an enum because closures that capture variables from
/// their environment need to be boxed. More often than not, an event will be a simple enum and
/// the predicate will just match on the variant, so it would be wasteful to impose boxing in those
/// cases, hence there is a function pointer variant which does not require boxing. This should
/// be preferred where possible.
///
/// ```
/// use pharos::*;
///
/// let a = 5;
///
/// // This closure captures the a variable from it's environment.
/// // We can still use it as a filter by boxing it with `closure`.
/// //
/// // Note: it depends on the circumstances, but often enough, we need to
/// // annotate the type of the event parameter to the predicate.
/// //
/// // For this example we use bool as event type for simplicity, but it works
/// // just the same if that's an enum.
/// //
/// let predicate = move |_: &bool| { a; true };
///
/// let filter = Filter::Closure( Box::new(predicate) );
///
/// // This one does not capture anything, so it can be stored as a function pointer
/// // without boxing.
/// //
/// let predicate = move |_: &bool| { true };
///
/// let filter = Filter::Pointer( predicate );
///
/// // You can also use actual functions as filters.
/// //
/// fn predicate_function( event: &bool ) -> bool { true }
///
/// let filter = Filter::Pointer( predicate_function );
/// ```
