Dependencies

This crate has few dependencies. Cargo will automatically handle it's dependencies for you.

There is one optional feature: tokio_channel. This causes the ActorBuilder to use tokio channels by default instead of futures channels.

Security

This crate has #![forbid(unsafe_code)], but our dependencies do use unsafe.

Structs

ActorBuilder	Builder for Addr and Mailbox. This is a convenience API so you don't have to call their constructors manually. Mainly lets you set the channel and name for your mailbox.
Addr	Reference implementation of thespis::Address<M>. It can be used to send all message types the actor implements thespis::Handler for. An actor will be dropped when all addresses to it are dropped.
Mailbox	The mailbox implementation.
Receiver	This type can be used when you need a concrete type as Address<M>. Eg, you can store this as Box<dyn Any> and then use Box::downcast. This allows abstracting over both Actor and Message types.

Enums

ThesErr

Errors that can happen in thespis_impl.

Constants

BOUNDED

Default buffer size for bounded channel between Addr and Mailbox.

Traits

CloneSink	Interface for T: Sink + Clone
SinkExt	An extension trait for Sinks that provides a variety of convenient combinator functions.

Type Definitions

BoxEnvelope	Shorthand for a Send boxed envelope.
ChanReceiver	Type of boxed channel receiver for Mailbox.
ChanSender	Type of boxed channel sender for Addr.
SinkError	A boxed error type for the sink
ThesRes	Result which has a ThesErr as error type.
