Struct Stream 

pub struct Stream<M = AnyMessage> { /* private fields */ }

A source that emits messages from a provided stream or future.

Possible items of a stream (the M parameter):

• Any instance of Message.
• Result<impl Message, impl Message>.

Note: the new() constructor is reserved until AsyncIterator is stabilized.

All wrapped streams and futures are fused by the implementation.

Note: Stream::is_terminated() and Stream::terminate() cannot be called inside the stream, because it leads to a deadlock.

Tracing

• If the stream created using Stream::from_futures03(), every message starts a new trace.
• If created using Stream::once(), the current trace is preserved.
• If created using Stream::generate(), the current trace is preserved.

You can always use scope::set_trace_id() to override the current trace.

Examples

Create a stream based on futures::Stream:

use elfo::stream::Stream;

#[message]
struct MyItem(u32);

let stream = futures::stream::iter(vec![MyItem(0), MyItem(1)]);
ctx.attach(Stream::from_futures03(stream));

while let Some(envelope) = ctx.recv().await {
    msg!(match envelope {
        MyItem => { /* ... */ },
    });
}

Perform a background request:

use elfo::stream::Stream;

#[message]
struct DataFetched(u32);

#[message]
struct FetchDataFailed(String);

async fn fetch_data() -> Result<DataFetched, FetchDataFailed> {
    // ...
}

while let Some(envelope) = ctx.recv().await {
    msg!(match envelope {
        SomeEvent => {
            ctx.attach(Stream::once(fetch_data()));
        },
        DataFetched => { /* ... */ },
        FetchDataFailed => { /* ... */ },
    });
}

Generate a stream (an alternative to async-stream):

use elfo::stream::Stream;

#[message]
struct SomeMessage(u32);

#[message]
struct AnotherMessage;

ctx.attach(Stream::generate(|mut e| async move {
    e.emit(SomeMessage(42)).await;
    e.emit(AnotherMessage).await;
}));

while let Some(envelope) = ctx.recv().await {
    msg!(match envelope {
        SomeMessage(no) | AnotherMessage => { /* ... */ },
    });
}

Implementations

impl<M: StreamItem> Stream<M>

pub fn from_futures03<S>(stream: S) -> UnattachedSource<Self>

where S: Stream<Item = M> + Send + 'static,

Creates an unattached source based on the provided futures::Stream.

pub fn once<F>(future: F) -> UnattachedSource<Self>

where F: Future<Output = M> + Send + 'static,

Creates an uattached source based on the provided future.

impl Stream<AnyMessage>

pub fn generate<G, F>(generator: G) -> UnattachedSource<Self>

where G: FnOnce(Emitter) -> F, F: Future<Output = ()> + Send + 'static,

Generates a stream from the provided generator.

The generator receives Emitter as an argument and should return a future that will produce messages by using Emitter::emit.

Trait Implementations

impl<M: StreamItem> SourceHandle for Stream<M>

fn is_terminated(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the source has stopped producing messages.

fn terminate_by_ref(&self) -> bool

Terminates the source. Drop is called immediately.

fn terminate(self) -> bool

where Self: Sized,

Terminates the source. Drop is called immediately.
