Module finchers_core::task [−] [src]

Components for constructing asynchronous computations which will be returned from Endpoints.

The main trait in this module is Task. This trait is an abstraction of asynchronous computations which will be returned from endpoints. The role of this trait is very close to futures and hence its design intentionally resembles Future. However, some differences are exist for specializing to the purpose of HTTP handling.

This trait does not provide any combinators for composing complicate computations. Such combinations are usually performed indirectly by the endpoints or by wrapping the value of Future.

Structs

Abort	A `Task` which will immediately abort with an error value of `E`.
Context	The contextual information during polling an task.
Ready	A `Task` which will immediately return a value of `T`.
TaskFuture	A helper struct which wraps a `Future` and provides the implementation of `Task`.

Traits

IntoTask	Trait representing the conversion to a `Task`.
Task	Trait representing the asynchronous computation after applying the endpoints.

Functions

abort	Create a task which will immediately abort the computation with an error value of `E`.
future	Create a task from a `Future`.
ready	Create a task which will immediately return a value of `T`.
