pub struct Sender<T> { /* private fields */ }

Sends values to the associated Receiver.

Instances are created by the channel function.

Implementations

impl<T> Sender<T>

pub fn send(&self, value: T) -> Result<(), SendError<T>>

Sends a new value via the channel, notifying all receivers.

This method fails if the channel is closed, which is the case when every receiver has been dropped. It is possible to reopen the channel using the subscribe method. However, when send fails, the value isn’t made available for future receivers (but returned with the SendError).

To always make a new value available for future receivers, even if no receiver currently exists, one of the other send methods (send_if_modified, send_modify, or send_replace) can be used instead.

pub fn send_modify<F>(&self, modify: F)where
    F: FnOnce(&mut T),

Modifies the watched value unconditionally in-place, notifying all receivers.

This can useful for modifying the watched value, without having to allocate a new instance. Additionally, this method permits sending values even when there are no receivers.

Prefer to use the more versatile function Self::send_if_modified() if the value is only modified conditionally during the mutable borrow to prevent unneeded change notifications for unmodified values.

Panics

This function panics when the invocation of the modify closure panics. No receivers are notified when panicking. All changes of the watched value applied by the closure before panicking will be visible in subsequent calls to borrow.

Examples

use tokio::sync::watch;

struct State {
    counter: usize,
}
let (state_tx, state_rx) = watch::channel(State { counter: 0 });
state_tx.send_modify(|state| state.counter += 1);
assert_eq!(state_rx.borrow().counter, 1);

pub fn send_if_modified<F>(&self, modify: F) -> boolwhere
    F: FnOnce(&mut T) -> bool,

Modifies the watched value conditionally in-place, notifying all receivers only if modified.

This can useful for modifying the watched value, without having to allocate a new instance. Additionally, this method permits sending values even when there are no receivers.

The modify closure must return true if the value has actually been modified during the mutable borrow. It should only return false if the value is guaranteed to be unmodified despite the mutable borrow.

Receivers are only notified if the closure returned true. If the closure has modified the value but returned false this results in a silent modification, i.e. the modified value will be visible in subsequent calls to borrow, but receivers will not receive a change notification.

Returns the result of the closure, i.e. true if the value has been modified and false otherwise.

Panics

This function panics when the invocation of the modify closure panics. No receivers are notified when panicking. All changes of the watched value applied by the closure before panicking will be visible in subsequent calls to borrow.

Examples

use tokio::sync::watch;

struct State {
    counter: usize,
}
let (state_tx, mut state_rx) = watch::channel(State { counter: 1 });
let inc_counter_if_odd = |state: &mut State| {
    if state.counter % 2 == 1 {
        state.counter += 1;
        return true;
    }
    false
};

assert_eq!(state_rx.borrow().counter, 1);

assert!(!state_rx.has_changed().unwrap());
assert!(state_tx.send_if_modified(inc_counter_if_odd));
assert!(state_rx.has_changed().unwrap());
assert_eq!(state_rx.borrow_and_update().counter, 2);

assert!(!state_rx.has_changed().unwrap());
assert!(!state_tx.send_if_modified(inc_counter_if_odd));
assert!(!state_rx.has_changed().unwrap());
assert_eq!(state_rx.borrow_and_update().counter, 2);

pub fn send_replace(&self, value: T) -> T

Sends a new value via the channel, notifying all receivers and returning the previous value in the channel.

This can be useful for reusing the buffers inside a watched value. Additionally, this method permits sending values even when there are no receivers.

Examples

use tokio::sync::watch;

let (tx, _rx) = watch::channel(1);
assert_eq!(tx.send_replace(2), 1);
assert_eq!(tx.send_replace(3), 2);

pub fn borrow(&self) -> Ref<'_, T>

Returns a reference to the most recently sent value

Outstanding borrows hold a read lock. This means that long lived borrows could cause the send half to block. It is recommended to keep the borrow as short lived as possible.

Examples

use tokio::sync::watch;

let (tx, _) = watch::channel("hello");
assert_eq!(*tx.borrow(), "hello");

pub fn is_closed(&self) -> bool

Checks if the channel has been closed. This happens when all receivers have dropped.

Examples

let (tx, rx) = tokio::sync::watch::channel(());
assert!(!tx.is_closed());

drop(rx);
assert!(tx.is_closed());

pub async fn closed(&self) -> impl Future<Output = ()>

Completes when all receivers have dropped.

This allows the producer to get notified when interest in the produced values is canceled and immediately stop doing work.

Cancel safety

This method is cancel safe. Once the channel is closed, it stays closed forever and all future calls to closed will return immediately.

Examples

use tokio::sync::watch;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, rx) = watch::channel("hello");

    tokio::spawn(async move {
        // use `rx`
        drop(rx);
    });

    // Waits for `rx` to drop
    tx.closed().await;
    println!("the `rx` handles dropped")
}

pub fn subscribe(&self) -> Receiver<T>

Creates a new Receiver connected to this Sender.

All messages sent before this call to subscribe are initially marked as seen by the new Receiver.

This method can be called even if there are no other receivers. In this case, the channel is reopened.

Examples

The new channel will receive messages sent on this Sender.

use tokio::sync::watch;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, _rx) = watch::channel(0u64);

    tx.send(5).unwrap();

    let rx = tx.subscribe();
    assert_eq!(5, *rx.borrow());

    tx.send(10).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(10, *rx.borrow());
}

The most recent message is considered seen by the channel, so this test is guaranteed to pass.

use tokio::sync::watch;
use tokio::time::Duration;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, _rx) = watch::channel(0u64);
    tx.send(5).unwrap();
    let mut rx = tx.subscribe();

    tokio::spawn(async move {
        // by spawning and sleeping, the message is sent after `main`
        // hits the call to `changed`.
        tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_millis(10)).await;
        tx.send(100).unwrap();
    });

    rx.changed().await.unwrap();
    assert_eq!(100, *rx.borrow());
}

pub fn receiver_count(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of receivers that currently exist.

Examples

use tokio::sync::watch;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, rx1) = watch::channel("hello");

    assert_eq!(1, tx.receiver_count());

    let mut _rx2 = rx1.clone();

    assert_eq!(2, tx.receiver_count());
}
