## Documentation

* [GitHub repository](https://github.com/sunli829/xactor)
* [Cargo package](https://crates.io/crates/xactor)
* Minimum supported Rust version: 1.39 or later

## Features

* Async actors.
* Actor communication in a local context.
* Using Futures for asynchronous message handling.
* Typed messages (No `Any` type). Generic messages are allowed.

## Examples

```rust
use xactor::*;

#[message(result = "String")]
struct ToUppercase(String);

struct MyActor;

impl Actor for MyActor {}

#[async_trait::async_trait]
impl Handler<ToUppercase> for MyActor {
    async fn handle(&mut self, _ctx: &Context<Self>, msg: ToUppercase) -> String {
        msg.0.to_uppercase()
    }
}

#[xactor::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    // Start actor and get its address
    let mut addr = MyActor.start().await;

    // Send message `ToUppercase` to actor via addr
    let res = addr.call(ToUppercase("lowercase".to_string())).await?;
    assert_eq!(res, "LOWERCASE");
    Ok(())
}
```

## Performance

|        |Wait for response|Send only|
|--------|-----------------|---------|
|Actix   |          1548 ms|    14 ms|
|Xactor  |           930 ms|    18 ms|

[GitHub repository](https://github.com/sunli829/xactor-benchmarks)

## Installation

Xactor require `async-trait` on useland

With [cargo add][cargo-add] installed run:

```sh
$ cargo add xactor
$ cargo add async-trait
```

We also provide a set of "tokio-runtime" features instead of async-std. 
to use it you need activate feautre: `runtime-tokio` and desable default.

You can edit your `Cargo.toml` has following:
```
xactor = { version = "x.x.x", features = ["runtime-tokio"], default-features = false }
```

[cargo-add]: https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit
