Crate stakker_async_await

Stakker interface to Rust async/await

Stakker has two primitives for asynchronous callbacks, i.e. for passing data from one point to another:

• stakker::Ret accepts a single value to pass to an end-point, and is consumed when used to guarantee that it is not used again

• stakker::Fwd accepts an endless stream of values to pass to an end-point, and can be cloned

An end-point would typically be a method on an actor, and the value would be passed in a call to that method. However other types of end-point are possible.

The Rust standard library Future is like a Ret in reverse. A Ret sends the response to an end-point, but a Future is held by the end-point to receive the response.

Structs
