Expand description

Handler is an extension trait for Actor that enables it to process messages and return results of the message processing.

Note: Handler workflow guarantees that sent messages will be delivered in order.

Examples

This example assumes that messages is used with rt-tokio feature enabled.

struct Sum;

#[async_trait]
impl Actor for Sum {}

#[async_trait]
impl Handler<(u8, u8)> for Sum {
    type Result = u16;

    async fn handle(&mut self, (a, b): (u8, u8), context: &Context<Self>) -> u16 {
        (a as u16) + (b as u16)
    }
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
   let mut addr = Sum.spawn();
   let result = addr.send((22, 20)).await.unwrap();
   assert_eq!(result, 42);
}
