wirebolt 0.1.1

WireBolt

WireBolt is a lightweight Rust wrapper around TCP, abstracting the threading concerns, allowing you to focus on sending and receiving messages from clients through polling.

Example

In the server terminal:

cargo run --example hello_world -- server

In as many client terminals as you like:

cargo run --example hello_world

Start the server first, then connect with clients. This example simply has a server which broadcasts to all clients as quickly as it can. Clients then echo the message back to the server.

Server

async fn server() {
    let Ok(mut net_server) = NetServer::new("127.0.0.1:5555").await else { return; };

    let mut count = 0;
    loop {
        // -- Read errors
        let errors = net_server.dequeue_errors();
        for error in errors.iter() {
            println!("Error Handled: {:?}", error);
        }

        // -- Read infos
        let infos = net_server.dequeue_info();
        for info in infos.iter() {
            println!("Info Handled: {:?}", info);
        }

        // -- Read messages
        let messages = net_server.dequeue();
        for _message in messages.iter() {}

        // -- Do not do anything if there are no connections
        if net_server.connection_count().await == 0 {
            tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_millis(50)).await;
            continue;
        }

        // -- Send messages
        let message = format!("Message-{}", count);
        net_server
            .broadcast(message.clone().as_bytes().to_vec())
            .await;

        // -- Report every 25 thousand messages sent
        if count % 25000 == 0 {
            println!("Sent {} messages.", count);
        }

        count += 1;
    }
}

Client

async fn client() {
    let Ok(mut net_client) = NetClient::new("127.0.0.1:5555").await else { return; };

    let mut message_count = 0;
    loop {
        // -- If connection drops, exit application
        if !net_client.is_connected() {
            break;
        }

        // -- Read errors
        let errors = net_client.dequeue_errors();
        for error in errors.iter() {
            println!("Error Handled: {:?}", error);
        }

        // -- Read infos
        let infos = net_client.dequeue_info();
        for info in infos.iter() {
            println!("Info Handled: {:?}", info);
        }

        // -- Read messages
        let messages = net_client.dequeue();
        for message in messages.iter() {
            message_count += 1;
            // -- Convert message to string
            let text = String::from_utf8(message.to_owned()).unwrap();

            // -- Send message back to server
            net_client
                .enqueue(format!("Response: {}", text).as_bytes().to_vec())
                .await;

            // -- Report every 25 thousand messages
            if message_count % 25000 == 0 {
                println!("Message: {}", String::from_utf8(message.clone()).unwrap());
            }
        }
    }
}
