Struct WeakPublisher 

pub struct WeakPublisher<Message> { /* private fields */ }

A weak publisher republishes a Publisher only so long as that Publisher exists.

This type of publisher can be created by calling republish_weak() on a Publisher. The subscribers will close if the Publisher is released even if the WeakPublisher still exists.

This is useful as a way to send messages to a stream without ‘owning’ it, where it’s acceptable for the messages to be dropped once the target has gone away (eg: messages to a window in a user interface might not longer be relevant once the window has closed)

Implementations

impl<Message: Clone> WeakPublisher<Message>

pub fn count_subscribers(&self) -> usize

Counts the number of subscribers in this publisher

pub fn republish(&self) -> Self

Creates a duplicate publisher that can be used to publish to the same streams as this object

Trait Implementations

impl<Message: 'static + Send + Clone> MessagePublisher for WeakPublisher<Message>

fn subscribe(&mut self) -> Subscriber<Message>

Subscribes to this publisher

Subscribers only receive messages sent to the publisher after they are created.

fn when_ready(&mut self) -> BoxFuture<'static, MessageSender<Message>>

Reserves a space for a message with the subscribers, returning when it’s ready

fn when_empty(&mut self) -> BoxFuture<'static, ()>

Waits until all subscribers have consumed all pending messages

fn is_closed(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this publisher is closed (will not publish any further messages to its subscribers)

fn when_closed(&self) -> BoxFuture<'static, ()>

Future that returns when this publisher is closed

type Message = Message

fn publish(&mut self, message: Self::Message) -> BoxFuture<'static, ()>

Publishes a message to the subscribers of this object
