pub struct Flower<S, R>where
    S: Send,
    R: Send,
{ /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Flow loosely and gracefully.

Where:

S = type of the sender spsc channel value

R = type of Ok value of the Result (Result<R, Cause>) and Cause is the Error cause.

Quick Example:

 use flowync::{error::{Cause, IOError}, Flower};
 type TestFlower = Flower<u32, String>;

 fn fetch_things(id: usize) -> Result<String, IOError> {
     let result =
         Ok::<String, IOError>(format!("the flower with id: {} successfully completed fetching.", id));
     let success = result?;
     Ok(success)
 }

 fn main() {
     let flower: TestFlower = Flower::new(1);
     std::thread::spawn({
         let handle = flower.handle();
         // Activate
         handle.activate();
         move || {
             for i in 0..10 {
                 // Send current value through channel, will block the spawned thread
                 // until the option value successfully being polled in the main thread.
                 handle.send(i);
                 // or handle.send_async(i).await; can be used from any multithreaded async runtime,
             }
             let result = fetch_things(handle.id());
             // Set result and then extract later.
             handle.set_result(result)
         }
     });

     let mut exit = false;

     loop {
         // Check if the flower is_active()
         // and will deactivate itself if the result value successfully received.
         if flower.is_active() {
             // another logic goes here...
             // e.g:
             // notify_loading_fn();

             flower
                 .extract(|value| println!("{}", value))
                 .finalize(|result| {
                     match result {
                         Ok(value) => println!("{}", value),
                         Err(Cause::Suppose(msg)) => {
                             println!("{}", msg)
                         }
                         Err(Cause::Panicked(_msg)) => {
                             // Handle things if stuff unexpectedly panicked at runtime.
                         }
                     }

                     // Exit if finalized
                     exit = true;
                 });
         }

         if exit {
             break;
         }
     }
 }

Implementations

Get the ID.

Get the handle.

Get the state

Since Flower itself is uncloneable to avoid data races, this is an alternative fn for self.clone()

Cancel Flower.

will do nothing if not explicitly configured on the Handle.

Check if the Flower is canceled

Check if the current Flower is active

Check if Result value of the Flower is ready

Check if channel value of the Flower is present

Try get the Result of the Flower and ignore channel value (if any).

Note: (this fn will be called if only Result is available)

Warning! don’t use this fn if channel value is important, use extract fn and then use finalize fn instead.

Try extract channel value of the Flower (this fn will be called if only channel value is available),

and then finalize (must_use)

Poll channel value of the Flower, and then finalize (must_use)
