Agents for Yew
Documentation
# Yew Agent

This module contains Yew's web worker implementation.

## Types

There're a couple kinds of agents:

### Oneshot

A kind of agent that for each input, a single output is returned.

#### Reactor

A kind of agent that can send many inputs and receive many outputs over a single bridge.

#### Worker

The low-level implementation of agents that provides an actor model and communicates with
multiple bridges.

## Reachability

When an agent is spawned, each agent is associated with a reachability.

### Private

Each time a bridge is created, a new instance
of agent is spawned. This allows parallel computing between agents.

#### Public

Public agents are shared among all children of a provider.
Only 1 instance will be spawned for each public agents provider.

### Provider

Each Agent requires a provider to provide communications and maintain bridges.
All hooks must be called within a provider.

## Communications with Agents

Hooks provides means to communicate with agent instances.

### Bridge

See: [`use_worker_bridge`](worker::use_worker_bridge),
[`use_reactor_bridge`](reactor::use_reactor_bridge)

A bridge takes a callback to receive outputs from agents
and provides a handle to send inputs to agents.

#### Subscription

See: [`use_worker_subscription`](worker::use_worker_subscription),
[`use_reactor_subscription`](reactor::use_reactor_subscription)

Similar to bridges, a subscription produces a handle to send inputs to agents. However, instead
of notifying the receiver with a callback, it collect all outputs into a slice.

#### Runner

See: [`use_oneshot_runner`](oneshot::use_oneshot_runner)

Unlike other agents, oneshot bridges provide a `use_oneshot_runner` hook to execute oneshot
agents on demand.
